  Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI), in partnership with SigmaPhi Electronics (SPE) has built three long pulse solid-state klystron transmitters to meet spallation source requirements. Two of the three units are installed at CEA Saclay and the National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (IN2P3), where they will be used as test stands for the European Spallation Source (ESS). The systems delivered to CEA and IN2P3 demonstrate that the ESS klystron modulator specifications (115 kV, 25 A per klystron, 3.5 ms, 14 Hz) have been achieved in a reliable, manufacturable, and cost-effective design. There are only minor modifications required to support transition of this design to the full ESS Accelerator, with up to 100 klystrons. The systems will accommodate the recently-determined increase in average power (~660 kW), can offer flicker-free operation, are equally-capable of driving Klystrons or MBIOTs, and are designed for an expected MTBCF of over ten years, based on operational experience with similar systems.

  High voltage DC photocathode guns currently offer the most reliable path to electron beams with high current and brightness. The performance of a gun is directly dependent on its vacuum and high voltage capabilities, determined in large part by the ceramic insulators. The insulator must meet XHV standards, bear the load of pressurized SF6 on its exterior, support the massive electrode structures as well as holding off DC voltages up to 750kV. Construction of UHV and high voltage capable insulators require high purity ceramics and metal components proven to minimize thermal stress between the brazed ceramic rings and metal guard rings. The use of replaceable guard rings is a critical way of controlling manufacturing costs while extending the life cycle of the insulator. Successful fabrication requires proven manufacturing methods in flatness, parallelism, and maintaining alignment of many parts during the brazing process. Taking a scalable, modular approach, the insulator design can be applied to a variety of gun voltages and can be used by other projects. The Cornell-Friatec insulator was designed collaboratively and has now been produced in quantity for Cornell and elsewhere.

A prototype dual-blade stripline kicker for the APS multi-bend achromat (MBA) upgrade has been designed and developed. It was optimized with 3D CST Micro-wave Studio. The high voltage (HV) feedthrough and air-side connector were designed and optimized. The elec-tromagnetic fields along the beam path, deflecting angle and high electric fields with their locations were calculat-ed with 15 kV differential pulse voltage applied to the kicker blades through the feedthroughs. The beam im-pedance and power dissipation on different parts of the kicker and external loads were studied for a 48-bunch fill pattern. Our simulation results show that the prototype kicker with its HV feedthroughs meets the specified re-quirements. The results of TDR (time-domain reflectome-ter) test, high voltage pulse test and beam test of the pro-totype kicker assembly agreed with the simulations.

The APS multi-bend achromatic (MBA) upgrade storage ring plans to support two bunch fill patterns: a 48-bunch and a 324-bunch. A "swap out" injection scheme is required. In order provide the required kick to injected beam, to minimize the beam loss and residual oscillation of injected beam, and to minimize the perturbation to stored beam during injection, the rise, fall, and flat-top parts of the kicker pulse must be within a 16.9-ns interval. Stripling-type kickers are chosen for both injection and extraction. We developed a prototype kicker that supports a ±15kV differential pulse voltage. We performed high voltage discharge, TDR measurement, high voltage pulse test and beam test of the kicker. We report the design of the fast kicker and the test results.
