The Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free-Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL) employs 51 units of the pulse modulator in order to obtain the 10 GeV electron beam, which drive one X-band to linearize and 50 S-band klystrons. The PAL-XFEL requires very tight control of the klystron RF phase jitter 0.03-degree for S-band RF, 0.1-degree for X-band RF and the beam voltage stability of below 50 ppm. The RF phase jitter is directly related to the amplitude stability of modulator output pulses. There are several factors to satisfy the stability and reliability for the PAL-XFEL modulator. The largest sources of pulse-to-pulse instability are a current charging power supply (CCPS) for PFN charging, a thyratron switch, and a klystron focusing magnet power supply (MPS). In this paper, the operation and debugging results of those devices are described.

High power klystrons usually employ large cathodes to generate high currents which are compressed inside the gun to provide optimum beam sizes at the cavity section. We compress the beam by using electrostatic and magnetostatic focusing fields which are established by gun electrodes and external magnets respectively. The geometry of the gun elecrodes and the external magnet is carefully designed to meet the matching condition which results in scalloping-free beam. We have established a systematic design procedures to achieve the beam matching condition at arbitrary beam sizes. In this article we report on the beam-matching design and simulation results with an example case of the 80-MW S-band klystron in the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory.
