MOPMY037	GaN Class-F Power Amplifier for Klystron Replacement	583

	Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (award No. DE-SC0013136) The vacuum-tube-based RF amplifiers are relatively inefficient and becoming obsolete as the RF world has been progressively converting to solid state technology. Currently, the JLAB upgrade program requires 340 amplifiers capable of 8 kW CW at 1497 MHz while operating at more than 55-60% efficiency to replace their klystrons. Here we explore the possibility of a klystron replacement employing high electron mobility packaged GaN transistors applied in an array of Class-F amplifiers. The inputs and outputs of the many modules needed to make a complete amplifier are connected via precise, in-phase, low-loss, broadband, combiners-dividers. We describe early prototypes of the amplifiers as well as the combiners-dividers and discuss the design features and challenges of such a scheme. This approach can be applied to other national facilities and also for replacement of the klystrons in Middle Energy Electron-Ion Collider which requires about 1.8 MW CW power in total to be produced at 952.6 MHz frequency including 2x12.5 kW power for "crabbing" and 0.53 MW for electron cooling.

TUPOW054	Characterization of a Sub-THz Radiation Source Based on a 3 MeV Electron Beam and Future Plans	1892

	Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (award No. DE-SC-FOA-0007702) Design features and some past experimental results are presented for a sub-THz wave source employing the Advanced Photon Source's RF thermionic electron gun. The setup includes a compact alpha-magnet, four quadrupoles, a novel radiator, a THz transport line, and THz diagnostics. The radiator is composed of a dielectric-free, planar, over-sized structure with gratings. The gratings are integrated into a combined horn antenna and ~90° permanent bending magnet. The magnetic lattice enables operation in different modes, including conversion to a flat beam for efficient interaction with the radiating structure. The experiment described demonstrated the generation of narrow bandwidth THz radiation from a compact, laser and undulator-free, table-top system. This concept could be scaled to create a THz-sub-THz source capable of operating in long-pulse, multi-bunch, and CW modes. Additionally, the system can be used to remove unwanted time-dependent energy variations in longitudinally compressed electron bunches or for various time-dependent beam diagnostics. Plans for future experiments and upgrades are also discussed.

TUPOY041	A Metal-Dielectric Micro-Linac for Radiography Source Replacement	1992

	Funding: * US Department of Energy Contract # DE-SC0011370 To improve public security and prevent the diversion of radioactive material for Radiation Dispersion Devices, RadiaBeam is developing an inexpensive, portable, easy-to-manufacture linac structure to allow effective capture of a ~13 keV electron beam injected from a conventional electron gun and acceleration to a final energy of ~ 1 MeV. The bremsstrahlung X-rays produced by the electron beam on a high-Z converter at the end of the linac will match the penetration and dose rate of a typical ~100 Ci or more Ir-192 source. The tubular Disk-and-Ring structure under development consists of metal and dielectric elements that reduce or even eliminate multi-cell, multi-step brazing. This may allow significant simplification of the fabrication process to enable inexpensive mass-production required for replacement of the ~55,000 radionuclide sources in the US
