	The unique feature of the LANSCE accelerator facility is the simultaneous delivering of beams to five experimental targets. Proton beam with energy of 100-MeV is delivered to Isotope Production Facility (IPF), while 800-MeV H⁻ beams are distributed to four experimental areas: the Lujan Neutron Scattering Center, the Weapons Neutron Research facility (WNR), the Proton Radiography facility (pRad), and the Ultra-Cold Neutron facility (UCN). Multi-beam operation of accelerator facility requires careful optimization of beam losses, which is achieved by precise tuning of the beam, imposing restriction on amplitudes and phases of RF sections, application of beam-based alignment, control of H⁻ beam stripping, optimization of ion sources performance and low-energy beam transport operation under space-charge neutralization. The near - term plans are to replace obsolete systems of the LANSCE linear accelerator with modern Front End, which is the part of Los Alamos Modernization Project (LAMP). This paper summarizes experimental results obtained during operation of LANSCE accelerator facility and considers plans to expand performance of the accelerator for near-and long-term operations.

The unique feature of the LANSCE accelerator facility is the simultaneous delivering of beams to five experimental targets.
