The trigger system must provide appropriate timing signals to the injector, the RF drive system, the klystron modulators, the beam transport system, the end-station equipment, and the data-transmission system. Two independent timing functions are to be provided: one is pulse-rate selection and the other is synchronization—the adjustment of the relative timing of various devices with respect to ...

A dynamics simulation model is used to estimate limits of performance of the positron-electron project (PEP-II). The simulation captures the dynamics and technical limitations of the low level radio frequency (LLRF) system, the high-power rf components, and the low-order mode coupled-bunch longitudinal beam dynamics. Simulation results showing the effect of nonlinearities on the LLRF loops, and...

A model of the RF feedback system for PEP-II has been developed to provide time-domain simulation and frequency-domain analysis of the complete system. The model includes the longitudinal beam dynamics, cavity fundamental resonance, feedback loops, and the nonlinear klystron operating near saturation. Transients from an ion clearing gap and a reference phase modulation from the longitudinal fee...

We have studied a conventional pulse transformer for the NLC klystron pulse modulator. The transformer has been analyzed using a simplified lumped circuit model. It is found that a fast rise time requires low leakage inductance and low distributed capacitance and can be realized by reducing the number of secondary turns, but it produces larger pulse droop and requires a larger core size. After ...

The RF system for the ANKA storage ring has two plants, each plant consists of one 250 kW transmitter at 500 MHz feeding two cavities, with all the peripherals. The different components, namely the high voltage power supply, the klystron, the waveguide system and the cavities, are now under construction and test. The HV power supply is provided by Jäger (Germany), and is been built on site. The...

KEK-ATF is studying low emittance, multi-bunch electron beam for the future linear collider. The energy instability of the 1.5 GeV linac has been a problem making the beam injection to the damping ring unstable. Because the unstable beam generates also large amount of the radiation, the beam current is limited by the KEK radiation safety policy much lower than what we expect. Stabilizing the S-...

The present review summarizes a series of the most important historical contributions of German scientific researchers and industrial companies in Germany to the physics and applications of electromagnetic oscillations and waves during the past 140 years and intends to point out some relations to Russian scientists. The chronology highlights the following scientists: Philipp Reis (*1834-†1874):...

We have conducted the research project named “HighTech Research Center Project” at Waseda University, which is supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. In this project, a laser photo-cathode rf-gun with 1.6 acceleration cells with Mg cathode has been installed for production of low emittance and short bunched electron beam. Main parts of rf source for the...

Among the attractive coherent light sources resulting from the interaction between femtosecond lasers and relativistic electron beams, simultaneous Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) in the THz region, slicing and UV-VUV Coherent Harmonic Generation (CHG) can be achieved on synchrotron radiation facilities. Recently, a Ti:Sa laser at high repetition rate (1 kHz) has been seeded in the optical...
