TUPAB349 | High Efficiency, Low Cost RF Sources for Accelerators and Colliders | 2322 |
|
||
Funding: U.S. Department of Energy Calabazas Creek Research, Inc. (CCR) and its collaborators are developing high efficiency, low cost RF sources. Phase and Amplitude Controlled Magnetrons: CCR, Fermilab, and Communications & Power Industries, LLC (CPI) recently developed a 100 kW, 1.3 GHz magnetron system with amplitude and phase control. The system operated at more than 80% efficiency and demonstrated rapid control of amplitude and phase. Multiple Beam Triodes: CCR, in collaboration with CPI and JP Accelerator Works, Inc., is developing 200 kW, pulsed and CW RF sources from 350 to 700 MHz with projected efficiencies exceeding 80% and cost of $0.50/Watt. Prototype tubes are scheduled for tests in spring 2021. High Efficiency Klystrons:CCR, CPI, and Leidos, Inc. are building a 1.3 GHz, 100 kW klystron operating at 80% efficiency. High power testing is scheduled for summer 2021. Multiple Beam IOTs: CCR and Georgia Tech Research Institute are developing MBIOTs with simplified input coupling and high efficiency. Simulations indicate that 3rd harmonic drive power can increase the efficiency 8-10 %. The program is developing a prototype tube to produce 200 kW peak, 100 kW average power at 704 MHz. |

THPAB324 | PIP-II 800 MeV Proton Linac Beam Pattern Generator | 4426 |
|
||
The PIP2 IT Beam Pattern Generator is the system that synchronizes beam injection and the RF systems between the PIP2 LINAC to the Booster. The RF frequencies of these two accelerator systems are not harmonically related. Synchronization is accomplished by controlling two MEBT Beam Choppers, which select 162.5MHz beam bunches from the LEBT and RFQ to produce an appropriate reduced beam bunch pattern that enables bucket-to-bucket transfer to the Booster RF at 46.46MHz (84th harmonic). This chopping pattern also reduces the beam current to an average of 2mA over the Booster injection, matching the Linac nominal beam current. The BPG also generates the RF frequency/phase reference which the Booster will phase lock to during injection. The BPG is fully programmable, allowing for arbitrary beam patterns with adjustable timing parameters, having a fine adjustment resolution of 38ps. The latter is accomplished using digital signal processing techniques. This paper discusses the design of the BPG, its construction, test results, and operational experience after being integrated into the PIP2 IT test accelerator and concludes with a discussion of the system’s performance and future plans. | ||

THPAB337 | Resonance Control System for the PIP-II IT HWR Cryomodule | 4446 |
|
||
The HWR (half-wave-resonator) cryomodule is the first one in the superconducting section of the PIP-II LINAC project at Fermilab. PIP-II IT is a test facility for the project where the injector, warm front-end, and the first two superconducting cryomodules are being tested. The HWR cryomodule comprises 8 cavities operating at a frequency of 162.5 MHz and accelerating beam up to 10 MeV. Resonance control of the cavities is performed with a pneumatically operated slow tuner which compresses the cavity at the beam ports. Helium gas pressure in a bellows mounted to an end wall of the cavity is controlled by two solenoid valves, one on the pressure side and one on the vacuum side. The resonant frequency of the cavity can be controlled in one of two modes. A pressure feedback control loop can hold the cavity tuner pressure at a fixed value for the desired resonant frequency. Alternately, the feedback loop can regulate the cavity tuner pressure to bring the RF detuning error to zero. The resonance controller is integrated into the LLRF control system for the cryomodule. The control system design and performance of the resonance control system are described in this paper. | ||

THPAB338 | Performance of the LLRF System for the Fermilab PIP-II Injector Test | 4450 |
|
||
PIP-II IT is a test facility for the PIP-II project where the injector, warm front-end, and the first two superconducting cryomodules are being tested. The 8-cavity half-wave-resonator (HWR) cryomodule operating at 162.5 MHz is followed by the 8-cavity single-spoke resonator(SSR1) cryomodule operating at 325 MHz. The LLRF systems for both cryomodules are based on a common SOC FPGA-based hardware platform. The resonance control systems for the two cryomodules are quite different, the first being a pneumatic system based on helium pressure and the latter a piezo/stepper motor type control. The data acquisition and control system can support both CW and Pulsed mode operations. Beam loading compensation is available which can be used for both manual/automatic control in the LLRF system. The user interfaces include EPICS, Labview, and ACNET. Testing of the RF system has progressed to the point of being ready for a 2 mA beam to be accelerated to 25 MeV. The design and performance of the field control and resonance control system operation with beam are presented in this paper. | ||
