  Historically linear accelerator development and the choice of frequency have been driven by the availability of RF power sources. This is also true at the present time and is particularly significant as new accelerators are being conceived and planned over a wide frequency range for FEL light sources and other applications. This paper evaluates the current state of the technology for high peak power RF sources from S-band through X-band including reliability and the facility risk incurred for applications demanding high availability and decades-long operation.

  Magnetic alloy cavities are used for both MR and RCS synchrotrons. Both cavity systems operate successfully and they generate a higher voltage than could be achieved by an ordinary ferrite cavity system. For the future upgrade of J-PARC, a higher RF voltage is needed. A new RF cavity system using the material, FT3L, is designed to achieve this higher field gradient. A large production system using an old cyclotron magnet was constructed to anneal 85-cm size FT3L cores in the J-PARC Hadron Experiment Hall. The muSR (Muon Spin Rotation/Relaxation/Resonance) Experiments were also carried out to study the magnetic alloy. The status of development on the J-PARC site and a new RF system design will be reported.

The study of innovative collimators is essential to handle the high energy particle beams required to explore unknown territory in basic research. This calls for the development of novel advanced materials, as no existing metal-based or carbon-based material possesses the combination of physical, thermal, electrical and mechanical properties, imposed by collimator extreme working conditions. A new family of materials, with promising features, has been identified: metal-diamond composites. These materials are to combine the outstanding thermal and physical properties of diamond with the electrical and mechanical properties of metals. The best candidates are Copper-Diamond (Cu-CD) and Molybdenum-Diamond (Mo-CD). In particular, Mo-CD may provide interesting properties as to mechanical strength, melting temperature, thermal shock resistance and, thanks to its balanced material density, energy absorption. The research program carried out on these materials at CERN and collaborating partners is presented, mainly focusing on the theoretical investigation, material characterization, and manufacturing processes.
