Ike: an Interactive Klystron Evaluation Program for Slac Linear Collider Klystron Performance*
نویسندگان
چکیده
SLAC probably has accumulated more high power klystron operating hours in the delivery of beams for physics research than ani other laboratory in the world. Operating data has been logged by hand, and search of this data for klystron performance statistics is time consuming. When the new 65 MW klystrons for the SLC were planned, a computer based interlock and data recording system ias implemented in the general electronics upgrade. Significant klystron operating parameters are interlocked andaisplayed in the SLC central control room through the VAX iontrol computer. A program titled “IKE” has been written to record klystron operating data each day, store the data in a database, and provide various sorted operating and statistical information to klystron engineers, and maintenance personnel in the form of terminal listings, bar graphs, and special printed reports. This paper gives an overview of the IKE system, describes its use as a klystron maintenance tool, and explains why its valuable to klystron engineers.

The next Linear Collider Klystron Development Program
Klystrons capable of 75 MW output power at 11.4 GHz have been under development at SLAC for the last decade. The work has been part of the program to realize all the components necessary for the construction of the Next Linear Collider (NLC). The effort has produced a family of solenoid-focused 50 MW klystrons, which are currently powering a 0.5 GeV test accelerator at SLAC and several test sta...
متن کاملX-band Klystron Development at Slac
The development of X-band klystrons at SLAC originated with the idea of building an X-band Linear Collider in the late 1980’s. Since then much effort has been expended in developing a reliable X-band Power source capable of delivering >50 MW RF power in pulse widths >1.5 μs. I will report on some of the technical issues and design strategies which have led to the current SLAC klystron designs.
