The Inductive Output Tube (IOT) is not widely used as an RF power source in particle accelerators yet, but this is about to change rapidly. One reason for this change is the IOT's "coming of age": almost twenty years of successful operation in television transmitters have lead to high refinement of IOT technology and proven reliability. The other reason is the fitness of the IOT to especially meet accelerator requirements: high efficiency, no need for power back-off to achieve fast feed-back regulation, and the possibility to pulse the RF without using a high-voltage modulator. Two classes of IOTs are available so far for application in particle accelerators. One of them consists of UHF external-cavity devices, frequency-tunable and producing output power levels up to 80 kW CW. The second class has been developed only recently. These are L-band IOTs with internal output cavities for 1.3 and 1.5 GHz, respectively, featuring output power levels between 15 and 30 kW CW. Extensive computer simulations have lead to the conclusion that even higher-power IOTs, such as a 300 kW peak-power, long-pulse L-band tube, are feasible.

The Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo (IFUSP) is building a two-stage 31 MeV continuous wave (cw) racetrack microtron. In this work we describe the characteristics of the end magnets for the IFUSP main microtron. The magnets are part of the main acceleration stage, which raises the energy from 4.9 to 31 MeV. We are studying the possibility of increasing the energy up to 38 MeV, so the magnets should have approximately 2x1 m2 region of useful field. The dipoles have a 0.1410 T magnetic field and 1 part in 1000 homogeneity without correcting devices. Using a 2D magnetic field code (FEMM), we illustrate the use of homogenizing gaps with different forms and non parallel pole faces to achieve the necessary homogeneity. The use of clamps to produce reverse fields to reduce the vertical defocusing strength on the beam is also described. In order to calculate the beam trajectories and to evaluate the magnetic field homogeneity within the useful region, a 3D magnetic field software (TOSCA) was used.

The Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo (IFUSP) is building a two-stage 31 MeV continuous wave (cw) racetrack microtron. In this work, we describe the design of the magnetic quadrupole lenses for the IFUSP microtron. The design consists of a laminar structure divided in four equal pieces. Because each piece corresponds to an individual pole, it eases the assembling of the coils and the installation of the quadrupole on the beam transport line without breaking the vacuum. Due to the fact that the quadrupole is laminated along the longitudinal axis, it is possible to change the length of a given lens by adding or subtracting foils. We also present the magnetic field distribution calculated using the POISSON code. A prototype presented good mechanical rigidity and thermal performance, showing that a refrigeration system is not necessary. The magnetic measurements show that the field distribution within the region of interest agrees with the POISSON simulation.

Beam dynamics of the Harmonic Double Sided Microtron (HDSM), the fourth stage of MAMI, require a very precise magnetic field in the inhomogeneous bending magnets. By measuring the vertical field component By in and on both sides of the midplane, the complete set of field components Bx, By, Bz was determined in the whole gap. Starting from this the asymmetric pole surface current distribution necessary to correct both symmetric and antisymmetric field errors was calculated. However, tracking calculations showed that the influence of skewed field components on the beam deflection are negligible, so that symmetric field corrections are sufficient. Nevertheless, in order to demonstrate the functioning, a set of asymmetric correction coils was built and successfully tested. The symmetric coils are designed to reduce field errors below 2*10-4. Deflection errors in the fringe field region near the magnet corners, which cannot be corrected by surface currents, will be compensated by vertical iron shims in combination with small dipoles on each beam pipe.
