Abstract
The SNS superconducting linac delivers about 1 GeV of energy driven by self-consistent RF cavities. Here, we present an experience of the longitudinal tune-up of the SNS linac where a new application for quick RF phase setup and cavity fault adaptation was created. The routine of superconducting linac tune-up, longitudinal beam manipulation, and radio frequency cavity phase scaling for beam state recovery is presented. The application has direct value for beam optics study and will serve as the basis for longitudinal beam-size manipulation for the laser stripping project.
