A fast, electrically-controlled tuner is described with parameters suitable for operation with the 9-cell SC accelerator structure of ILC. The tuner is based on a magic tee and two phase shifters that contain ferroelectric rings. The dielectric constant of the ferroelectric ring is altered by applying a 4.2 kV DC pulse that provides an RF phase shift from 0 deg to 180 deg. This, in turn allows a change of the input signal amplitude from zero to its maximum value, or a change in phase from 0 deg to 360 deg during the RF pulse. It is shown that the possibility of changing the cavity coupling to the input line during the RF pulse allows significant RF power savings, up to 12.5 MW for the 800 GeV ILC option. In addition, fast electrically-tuned amplitude and phase control with a feed-back system should be useful to compensate for possible phase deviations of the input RF fields in each cavity of ILC to match the cavity with the feeding transmission line as the beam load varies.

Basic studies for determining the RF electric and magnetic field limits on surfaces of materials suitable for accelerator structures for a future multi-TeV collider, and for the testing of the accelerator structures and components themselves, require stand-alone high-power RF sources at several frequencies, from 10 to 45 GHz. A relatively simple and inexpensive two-cavity harmonic multiplier at 22.8, 34.3, or 45.7 GHz is suggested to be the stand-alone multi-MW RF power source for this application. The design is based on the use of an existing SLAC electron gun, such as the XP3 gun, plus a beam collector as used on the XP3 klystron. RF drive power would be supplied from an 11.4 GHz, 50 or 75 MW SLAC klystron and modulator, and a second modulator would be used to power the gun in the multiplier. Preliminary computations show that 64, 55, and 47 MW, respectively, can be realized in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th harmonic multipliers at 22.8, 34.3, and 45.7 GHz using 75 MW of X-band drive power.

For a high-gradient normal-conducting accelerator structure for a future multi-TeV linear collider, the main limitation to achievement of high acceleration gradient is RF breakdown. In an attempt to increase the gradient beyond limits that are acceptable for metallic structures, a diamond-lined structure is suggested. The published DC breakdown limit for CVD diamond is ~2 GV/m, but the limit has never been determined for RF fields. Here we present a design for a 34-GHz diamond-lined rectangular test cavity, operating in the symmetric LSM-1,1,6 mode with symmetric side input couplers. The goal is to produce as high electric fields as possible (approaching 1 GV/m) at the diamond surfaces with ~10 MW of input power supplied by the Omega-P/Yale 34-GHz magnicon for experiment test of dielectric strength.

Achievement of high acceleration gradients in room-temperature structures requires basic studies of electric and magnetic RF field limits at surfaces of conductors and dielectrics. Facilities for such studies at 11.4 GHz have been in use at KEK and SLAC; facilities for studies at 17.1 GHz are being developed at MIT and UMd; and studies at 30 GHz are being conducted at CERN using the CLIC drive beam to generate short intense RF pulses. Longer pulse studies at 34 GHz are to be carried out at a new test facility being established at the Yale Beam Physics Laboratory, built around the Yale/Omega-P 34-GHz magnicon. This high-power amplifier, together with an available ensemble of components, should enable tests to be carried at up to about 9 MW in 1 mcs wide pulses at up to four output stations or, using a power combiner, at up to about 35 MW in 1 mcs wide pulses at a single station. RF pulse compression is planned to be used to produce 100-200 MW, 100 ns pulses; or GW-level, 1 mcs wide pulses in a resonant ring. A number of experiments have been prepared to utilize multi-MW 34-GHz power for accelerator R&D, and users for future experiments are encouraged to express their interest.

Recent results on development of BST (barium strontium titanium oxide composition) ferroelectric materials are presented to be used as the basis for new advanced technology components suitable for high-gradient accelerators. Ferroelectric materials offer significant benefits for linear collider applications, in particular, for switching and control elements where a very short response time of 10 ns can be potentially achieved. The applications include: fast active X-band and Ka-band high-power ferroelectric switches, high-power X-band, and L-band ferroelectric-based phase-shifters. The recently developed large diameter (11 cm) BST-based ferroelectric rings will be used at high pulse power (tens of megawatts) for the X-band components as well as at high average power (in the range of a few kilowatts) for the L-band phase-shifters, which are suitable for ILC applications.
