TI - An Overview of the MaRIE X-FEL and Electron Radiography Linac RF Systems J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - The purpose of the Matter-Radiation Interactions in Extremes (MaRIE) facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory is to investigate the performance limits of materials in extreme environments. The MaRIE facility will utilize a 12 GeV linac to drive an X-ray FEL. Most of the same linac will also be used to perform electron radiography. The main linac is driven by two shorter linacs; one short linac optimized for X-FEL pulses and one for electron radiography. The RF systems have historically been the one of the largest single component costs of a linac. We will describe the details of the different types of RF systems required by each part of the linacs. Starting with the High Power RF system, we will present our methodology for the choice of RF system peak power and pulselength with respect to klystrons parameters, modulator parameters, performance requirements and relative costs. We will also present an overview of the low level RF systems that are proposed for MaRIE and briefly describe their use with some proposed control schemes. * PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland SP - 3482 EP - 3484 KW - linac KW - klystron KW - cavity KW - electron KW - FEL DA - 2015/06 PY - 2015 SN - 978-3-95450-168-7 DO - 10.18429/JACoW-IPAC2015-WEPWI001 UR - http://jacow.org/ipac2015/papers/wepwi001.pdf ER -
