SNS Timing System*

R. Nelson (LANL), B. Oerter (BNL), T. Shea (ORNL), C. Sibley (ORNL)

A modern physics facility must synchronize the operation of equipment over a wide area. The primary purpose of the site wide SNS synchronization and timing system is to synchronize the operation of the linac, accumulator ring and neutron choppers and to distribute appropriate timing signals to accelerator systems, including the Injector, Linac, Accumulator Ring and Experimental Facilities. Signals to be distributed include the ring RF clock, real -time timing triggers, machine mode and other informational events. Timing triggers and clocks from the SNS synchronization and timing system are used to synchronize hardware operations including the MEBT beam chopper, rf turn on, synchronous equipment state changes, as well as data acquisition for power supplies and beam diagnostics equipment. This paper will describe the timing equipment being designed for the SNS facility and discuss the tradeoffs between conflicting demands of the accelerator and neutron chopper performance due to AC power grid frequency fluctuations.
