Description
The Spallation Neutron Source is planning a facility upgrade which is split into two elements: an accelerator power upgrade and a second target station. The proton power upgrade will double the amount of power which can be delivered by the accelerator complex from 1.4 MW to 2.8 MW, of which ~2 MW will be directed to the first target station and ~700 kW to the second. The Second Target Station will support twenty-two beam lines designed for peak neutron brightness which will be produced by optimized moderators, a rotating tungsten target, and a small proton footprint on the target. Some of the beam lines will approach 100 meters in length, and these long beam lines extend from the target facility via grade-level trenches with removable shield covers. Conceptual designs for several potential instruments have also been developed. The facility and some instrument designs will be discussed along with the project status.
