Abstract :
A conceptual design is presented for a second-generation proton storage ring (PSR) complex at LAMPF (Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility). The facility would consist of two stacked racetrack-shaped machines that would deliver a 1.2-mA beam of 1.6-GeV protons at 48 Hz. The pulse length would be 1.75 μs, which represents a time compression of 570. Beam transfers, collimation, results of longitudinal simulations, and beam stability are discussed. If constructed, the machines would supply 12 times more beam power for producing spallation neutrons than the current PSR design. The present H- source would have to be upgraded by a factor of 2
