چکیده
The ILC Linac Group at SLAC is actively pursuing a broad range of R&D to improve the reliability and reduce the cost of the L-band (1.3 GHz) rf system. Current activities include the development of a Marx-style modulator and a 10 MW sheet-beam klystron, construction of an rf distribution system with adjustable power tap-offs and custom hybrids, tests of cavity coupler components to understand rf processing limitations, simulations of multipacting in the couplers and optimization of the cavity fill parameters for operation with a large spread of sustainable cavity gradients. Also, a prototype positron capture cavity is being developed for the ILC injectors. This paper surveys the results from the past year and notes related L-band R&D at other labs, in particular, that at DESY for the XFEL project. Presented at the 2007 Particle Accelerator Conference, Albuquerque, New Mexico, June 25-29, 2007 * Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE–AC02–76SF00515.

Cold Cavity BPM R&D for the ILC
A cold L-Band cavity BPM for installation in a SCRF cryomodule is currently under development at Fermilab. The BPM has to meet the ILC BPM specifications, i.e. < 1 μm single bunch, single pass resolution, going along with sufficient accuracy and reproducibility. Real estate limitations and the superconductive RF environment require some special considerations for this design.
متن کاملILC Reference Design Report – Accelerator Executive Summary
The International Linear Collider (ILC) is a 200-500 GeV center-of-mass highluminosity linear electron-positron collider, based on 1.3 GHz superconducting radiofrequency (SCRF) accelerating cavities. The use of the SCRF technology was recommended by the International Technology Recommendation Panel (ITRP) in August 2004 [1], and shortly thereafter endorsed by the International Committee for Fut...
متن کاملFLASH Beam-Off RF Measurements and Analyses
The FLASH L-band (1.3 GHz) superconducting accelerator facility at DESY has a Low Level RF (LLRF) system that is similar to that envisioned for ILC. This system has extensive monitoring capability and was used to gather performance data relevant to ILC. In particular, waveform data were recorded with beam off for three, 8-cavity cryomodules to evaluate the input rf stability, perturbations to t...
متن کاملA Variable Directional Coupler for an Alternate Ilc High-power Rf Distribution Scheme*
We describe the design and functionality of an RF directional coupler for which the power division between the output ports is mechanically variable. In an alternate power distribution scheme for the ILC, power is delivered to cavities in pairs, through hybrids. Four pairs, or eight cavities, are fed from one waveguide feed, from which one fourth, one third, and one half of the power is coupled...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of the Low-level Rf Electronics for the Ilc Main Linac*
The proposed 30 km long ILC electron/positron collider is pushing the limits not only in basic physics research but also in engineering. For the two main LINACs, the pulsed RF power that is feeding the high number of SC RF cavities (~ 17 000) must be regulated to app. 0.1% for amplitude and 0.2o for phase. This guarantees the required energy spread (0.1%) at the interaction point in the detecto...
