  The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) consists of an 80 MeV H⁻ Linac, a 1.6 GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS), beam transport lines, a target station, and three spectrometers. The CSNS design beam power is 100 kW, with the capability to upgrade to 500 kW. In August 2018, CSNS was officially opened to domestic and international users. By February 2020, the beam power had reached 100 kW, and through improvements such as adding harmonic cavities, the beam power was increased to 140 kW. During the beam commissioning process, the beam loss caused by space charge effects was the most significant factor limiting the increase in beam power. Additionally, unexpected collective effects were observed, including coherent oscillations of the bunches, after the beam power reached 50 kW. Through a series of measures, the space charge effects and collective instabilities causing beam loss were effectively controlled. This paper mainly introduces the strong beam effects discovered during the beam commissioning at CSNS and their suppression methods. It also briefly discusses the research on beam space charge effects and collective effects in the beam dynamics design of CSNS-II project.

  The China Spallation Neutron Source¿CSNS¿accelerator comprises an 80MeV linac and a 1.6GeV rapid cycling synchrotron. It started operation in 2018, and the beam power delivered to the target has increased from 20kW to 140kW, step by step. Various beam loss studies have been performed through the accelerator to improve the beam power and availability. For the CSNS linac, the primary source of the beam loss is the halo generated by beam mismatches. In the upgrade plan of the CSNS, the beam current will increase five times, which requires more strict beam loss control. Much work is done during the design phase to keep the loss down to 1W/m of loss limit. This paper will report results obtained from beam experiments and optimization methods applied to the CSNS linac upgrade design.
