	Funding: Research supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics Development, tests, and evaluation of a fast electrically-controlled 704 MHz tuner for Energy Recovery Linacs that employs an electrically -controlled ferroelectric component are presented. The tuner is a refinement of an already tested prototype described elsewhere. In the new concept, a collection of ferroelectric assemblies behave as cavities configured as transmission components within a coaxial waveguide. Each assembly is based on a ring-like ferroelectric ceramic with its height, inner and outer diameters, and the shape of edges adjusted to insure a clean operating mode, and relatively low field strength. Several assemblies serve to widen the passband and increase tunability. The tuner is to deliver fast (~100-200 ns) phase adjustment from 0-to-100 degrees when biased by voltages from 0-to-15kV; the design promises to handle 50 kW CW and 900 kW of pulsed power. A scaled version is also considered to operate at 1300 MHz while handling 500 kW of pulsed power. Our latest findings, related issues, and plans for experiments are discussed.

THPPD079	Compact, High Current, High Voltage Solid State Switches for Accelerator Applications	high-voltage, klystron, laser, linac	3701
	H.D. Sanders, S.C. Glidden APP, Freeville, USA
	Most switches used for high current, high voltage accelerator applications are vacuum or gas switches, such as spark gaps and thyratrons. Recently, high voltage IGBT based switches have become common, but are limited in current and are not compact. This paper will describe a compact, high current, high voltage solid state switch. These switches have been tested to 50kV, to greater than 12kA, to greater than 50kA/μs, to 360Hz, and to 3x10⁸ pulses, without failure. They have been used in accelerators to drive klystrons and kickers, and have been used as crowbars while offering advantages over thyratron switches for cost, lifetime, size and weight. The switches are based on series connected fast thyristors with 3cm² die in a 20cm² package. This package is more compact than TO-200 Puk sized devices, and does not require compression for proper operation. Each package is rated for 4kV, 14kA and 30kA/μs. One example, a 48kV switch which includes the trigger and snubber circuits, fits in a volume of 200mm x 85mm x 65mm, and requires only a fiber-optic trigger input. Such switches have been used on SRS and EMMA at Daresbury Laboratory in the UK, and at several US national laboratories.

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Our recent effort to test a 50 kV, 1 kA, 50 ns pulse width, 10 ns pulse rise time FID pulse generator with 250 ft transmission cable, resistive load, and existing RHIC injection kicker magnet has produced unparalleled result. This is the very first attempt to drive a high strength fast kicker magnet with a nanosecond high pulsed power (50 MVA) generator for large accelerator and colliders. The technology is impressive. We report here the result and future plan of RHIC Injection kicker upgrade.
