The temperature-controlled cooling water system was designed to obtain the resonance frequency stabilization of the normal conducting drift tube linac (DTL) for the PEFP 100 MeV proton accelerator. The primary sizing of individual closed-loop low conductivity cooling water pumping skids for each DTL system was conducted with a simulation of thermo-hydraulic network model. The temperature control schemes incorporating the process dynamic model of heat exchangers were examined to regulate the input water temperatures into the DTL during the steady state operation. The closed water circuits to achieve system performance and stability for low and full duty operation modes were discussed, and numerical results were also presented.

An intense L-band electron accelerator is now being installed at PAL (Pohang Accelerator Laboratory) for initial tests. It is capable of producing 10-MeV electron beams with average 30 kW. This accelerator has a diode-type E-gun, a pre-buncher cavity, and an accelerating column with the built-in bunching section. We conduct simulational study for the commissioning scenario by the PARMELA code. At first, we observe the beam position and the beam current when the beam line is misaligned under no fields. Next, turning on focusing solenoids we observe the beam position change to check the alignments of the solenoids. Finally, varying RF power and phase of the pre-buncher we observe beam energy and beam power to obtain the optimum pre-buncher condition. In this paper, we present simulational results for each step. We also present commissioning strategies based on these results.

An intense L-band electron accelerator is designed and under development for CESC (Cheorwon Electron-beam Service Center) irradiation applications. It is capable of producing 10-MeV electron beams with average 30 kW. For an RF source, a Thales klystron is used with 1.3 GHz, pulsed 25 MW, and average 60 kW. The accelerator column, fabricated by IHEP in China, is operated with 2π/3 mode traveling-wave under the fully-beam-loaded condition. The modulator was fabricated with inverter power supplies. The klystron was assembled to the klystron tank with pulse transformer. The high-voltage pulse test was conducted for the klystron tube. In this paper, we present design details of the accelerator and current status.
