In the frame of the european CARE/HIPPI programme, superconducting accelerating cavities for pulsed proton injectors are developed. Qualification of these 704 MHz RF structures fully equipped (housed in a helium tank, with tuning system and power coupler), requires to perform high power tests in the existing horizontal cryostat CryHoLab. During the last years, CEA-Saclay built and ordered the necessary RF equipments to make such a platform for high power RF tests in a cryogenic environment available to the partners in HIPPI and later on to any other interested European teams. The main components of the RF test stand (95 kV-275kVA DC High Voltage Power Supply, 50Hz modulator and 1MW 704.4MHz RF klystron amplifier) are now installed and tested. In this paper, we present the different components with a focus on the new design of the hard tube modulator to match the new specifications and the compatibility with the floating HVPS, the results of the HV and RF measurements performed and we give a brief description of the PXI-based controller for the interlocks and klystron auxiliary controls.

The IFMIF-EVEDA accelerator will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA cw deuteron accelerator prototype for verifying the validity of the accelerator design for IFMIF. The RFQ, matching section and DTL resonant cavities must be fed with continuous RF power at 175 MHz frequency with an accuracy of 1% in amplitude and ± 1° in phase. Currently two possible solutions for the DTL design are considered. The first option consists of normal conducting (NC) Alvarez type cavities and the second option consists of superconducting (SC) Half Wave Resonator cavities. Both options impose different demands on the RF system which are analyzed in this paper. The RF power system will be made of several amplification stages and will be based on vacuum tube amplifiers. The main characteristics of RF system including those of the high voltage power sources required to feed the anodes of the high power tubes will be presented in this paper.
