1979 Linear Accelerator Conference Rf Sources Developments*
نویسنده
چکیده
The continuing need for accelerators of increasingly sophisticated characteristics requires a great variety of rf sources to provide the energy used by these accelerators. The present status of gridded tubes will be reviewed briefly. Klystrons, which are used in most large accelerators, will be considered in some detail. Their limitations in power and frequency will be reviewed and a study of their reliability will be presented. Improvements in their efficiency will be discussed, and trends for the future will be considered. Some limitations caused by material problems will become evident and a review of some of the potential improvements in that area will be considered. Finally, new types of rf sources based on rotating electron beams which are now in the development stage will be described and compared to existing tube types.

Tev Linear Collider Based on Conventional Technology
In order that it may be built within a reasonable length and with reasonable ac power consumption, a 5 TeV linear collider must employ an accelerating gradient and rf frequency which are both higher than for present 1 TeV collider designs. The required rf power per meter, which will also be higher than for 1 TeV designs, can be provided either by relatively conventional rf technology or by a tw...
متن کاملRecent Developments in the Liar Simulation Code
We describe a series of improvements to the LIAR (LInear Accelerator Research) simulation program to permit extended simulations of the low-emittance transport properties of linear colliders. The beam tracking algorithm has been extended to permit proper treatment of high-order multipoles and momentum compaction. A more versatile system for management of RF structure wakefield data permits RF s...
متن کاملAdvanced Rf Power Sources for Linacs*
In order to maintain a reasonable over-all length at high center-of-mass energy, the main linac of an electronpositron linear collider must operate at a high accelerating gradient. For copper (non-superconducting) accelerator structures, this implies a high peak power per unit length and a high peak power per RF source, assuming a limited number of discrete sources are used. To provide this pow...
متن کاملEvaluation of Performance, Reliability, and Risk for High Peak Power Rf Sources from S-band through X-band for Advanced Accelerator Applications
Historically linear accelerator development and the choice of frequency have been driven by the availability of RF power sources. This is also true at the present time and is particularly significant as new accelerators are being conceived and planned over a wide frequency range for FEL light sources and other applications. This paper evaluates the current state of the technology for high peak ...
متن کاملRf System Upgrades to the Advanced Photon Source Linear Accelerator in Support of the Fel Operation
The S-band linear accelerator, which was built to be the source of particles and the front end of the Advanced Photon Source [1] injector, is now also being used to support a low-energy undulator test line (LEUTL) and to drive a free-electron laser (FEL). The more severe rf stability requirements of the FEL have resulted in an effort to identify sources of phase and amplitude instability and im...
