PRODUCTION OF A 1.3 MW PROTON BEAM AT PSI

With an average beam power of 1.3 MW the PSI proton accelerator facility is presently at the worldwide forefront of high intensity accelerators. This talk describes critical aspects and recent improvements related to generation and transport of the high intensity beam in a cyclotron based facility. The installation of new accelerating resonators in the second of two cyclotrons led to a significant improvement in view of beam intensity but also the reliability of the facility. Besides the overall performance and further upgrade plans the discussed topics include: space charge dominated beam dynamics, beam loss handling, activation and specialized technical interlock systems.
