A MW-power beam facility is desired to produce an intense neutrino beam for study of fundamental particle physics. It is a critical challenge to measure beam profile in extreme radiation environments. To this end, a novel beam profile monitor based on a gas-filled multi-RF cavity is proposed. Charged particles through the gas-filled RF generate plasma that changes the gas permittivity. The modulated RF signal in the cavity due to the permittivity shift will be measured to reconstruct the flux of charged particles in the cavity. The demonstration is proposed to validate the concept of the monitor. We report the progress of the demonstration test.

An injection-locked amplitude modulated magnetron is being developed as a reliable, efficient RF source that could replace klystrons used in particle accelerators. A trim magnetic coil is used to alter the magnetic field in conjunction with the anode voltage to maintain an SRF cavity voltage while the cavity is experiencing microphonics and changing beam loading. The microphonic noise modes have frequencies in the range 10-100 Hz. The changing magnetic field will induce transient eddy currents in the copper anode of the magnetron which will buck the field in the interaction region. This paper will describe the calculation and handling of the eddy currents in the magnetron.

  Various methods of phase and power control in magnetron RF sources of superconducting accelerators intended for ADS-class projects were recently developed and studied with conventional 2.45 GHz, 1 kW, CW magnetrons operating in pulsed and CW regimes. Magnetron trans-mitters excited by a resonant (injection-locking) phase-modulated signal can provide phase and power control with the rates required for precise stabilization of phase and amplitude of the accelerating field in Superconducting RF (SRF) cavities of the intensity-frontier accelerators. An innovative technique that can significantly increase the magnetron transmitter efficiency at the wide-range power control required for superconducting accelerators was developed and verified with the 2.45 GHz magnetrons operating in CW and pulsed regimes. High efficiency magnetron transmitters of this type can significantly reduce the capital and operation costs of the ADS-class accelerator projects.

  The amplitude modulation (AM) of a magnetron is accomplished by varying the magnetic field which changes the current to the anode and the output power of the injection locked magnetron. The purpose of the AM is to compensate for microphonics in super conducting cavities by maintaining a constant gradient. The frequency range for the microphones is below 200 Hz. At these frequencies, eddy currents are encountered in the magnetron anode that reduce the effectiveness of the varying magnetic field on the magnetron current. A novel anode design is described which minimizes eddy currents and a method for manufacturing this novel magnetron anode is presented

  Beam pipe ceramics used for various purposes suffer from the problem of surface charging in the presence of an electron beam. A novel technique has been proposed for a method for reducing the charging effects by filling nano sized pores in the ceramic with a conductive medium. Pores in ceramics can be formed in a chain with varying depths depending on sintering temperatures and methods for creating the pores. In the pre-formed condition of these novel ceramics, a nanoparticle slurry is infused by capillary action into the ceramic and fired at temperatures and atmospheres to stabilize the conductive medium inside the ceramic. The microwave characteristics of these ceramics will be investigated in a Phase I program with the design of a complete beam pipe lossy ceramic in a Phase II.
