  TRIUMF has been funded to build the first stage of an electron linac with a final energy of 50 MeV and 500 kW beam power. The e-linac consists of an injector section with electron gun with 650 MHz rf modulated grid, a room temperature 1.3 GHz buncher cavity, and injector cryomodule, and two main-linac cryomodules for the accelerating section to be installed sequentially. The injector module has one 9 cell cavity whereas each of the accelerating cryomodules contains two 9-cell SC cavities. The injector cryomodule will be fed by a 30 kW cw Inductive Output Tube (IOT)and the accelerating cryomodule will be powered by a cw klystron. A first goal is a beam test of the e-Linac injector to 10MeV in 2012. Installation and full rated output power tests of the IOT on a 50 ohms load have been carried out. The IOT is purchased from CPI, USA while the transmitter is sourced from Bruker BioSpin. A power coupler conditioning station utilizes the same IOT. The buncher cavity is driven from a Bruker 600W amplifier. In this paper, the conceptual design of the e-Linac rf system will be summarized and the high power rf system for the injector including IOT measurement results will be presented.
SC stands for superconducting
