WEPHO13 | Test of an L-Band Energy-Efficiency Solid State RF Power Source | 960 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by DOE Office of Nuclear Physics, DOE-SBIR #DE-SC0002529 We present the test results of a 1.497 GHz Solid State RF Power Source for the CEBAF linac at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The power amplifier was designed to operate at output power of 6.4 kW, with an overall efficiency greater than 55% at peak power, and is sufficiently compact to fit the existing rack space and cooling requirements at the installation site. Our solid state amplifier is designed for high efficiency, band width of more than ±5MHz at 1.497GHz, and long lifetime. The test results of the whole unit test will be shown. |

THPSM14 | Construction and Testing of the Dual Slot Resonance Linac | 1415 |
|

The dual slot resonance linac (DSRL) is a novel method of providing enhanced coupling to a coupled cavity linac system, resulting in very strong coupling. For the 11-cell, 2856 MHz structure described here, the accelerator mode bandwidth exceeds 700 MHz, about an order of magnitude greater than many traditional side-coupled and axis-coupled linacs. The strong coupling promotes phase and amplitude stabilization, and offers decreased sensitivity to fabrication errors. We describe the construction, tuning, and RF conditioning of the prototype structure. | ||
