The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC is being designed to produce intense, coherent 0.15-nm x-rays. These x-rays will be produced by a single pass of a 15-GeV bunched electron beam through a long undulator. Nominally, the bunches have a charge of 1 nC, normalized transverse emittances of less than 1.5π mm-mr and an rms bunch length of 20 μm. The electron beam will be produced using th...

Electron accelerators from 500 keV to 10 MeV energy are employed for surface irradiation, food preservation, medical sterilization, cargo scanning and other industrial products. At EBC, a 10 MeV Linac has been indigenously developed and is operational for radiation processing. This is an on-axis coupled cavity standing wave type of RF linac operating with 50-70 keV electron gun having LaB6 cath...

This note describes how a future Fermilab proton driver [1] based on TESLA superconducting linac modules can perform as both the source of protons to produce the muons and as the accelerator of the muons to be used for a neutrino factory or muon collider. Recent advances in muon cooling [2] have the promise of muon emittances that are compatible with the 1300 MHz accelerating structures that ar...

The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is a SASE free electron laser using the last 1/3 of the SLAC two mile linac to produce 1.5 to 15 angstrom x-rays in a 100 meter long undulator for use in a variety of x-ray science experiments. In order to satisfy the demanding electron beam requirements, a new 135 MeV photo-injector will be built in an existing, off-axis vault at the 2/3 point of the main...

ACCELERATOR * P.N. Ostroumov, J.A. Nolen and K.W. Shepard, ANL, Argonne, IL 60439, USA Abstract The proposed design of the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) driver linac is a cw, fully superconducting, 1.4 GV linac capable of accelerating uranium ions up to 400 MeV/u and protons to 1 GeV with 400 kW beam power. An extensive research and development effort has resolved many technical issues related...

The RF phases, defined as the phases between the crests of the RF accelerating voltages and the accelerated beam, must be controlled within a few degrees in the linac of the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC). Changes in the RF phases not only affect the available acceleration but more importantly modify the dynamics of the accelerated beam, e.g. the beam optics. Precision phase control is therefore cr...

A new radio frequency (rf) linear accelerator (LINAC) system with high efficiency has been developed by AIBT. The general designs of such a rf LINAC system are briefly discussed. This system includes a plurality of resonators each including an inductor circuit that is connected to at least two rf electrodes. Detailed designs of a system where two of the adjacent rf electrodes are connected to t...

A 42 MV Superconducting (SC) Booster Linac is proposed for the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF). The linac, consisting of 56 superconducting, quarter wave, 120 MHz, independently phased, 2 gap resonators, will be used to boost Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) accelerated by the 25 MV NEC tandem, to Coulomb barrier energies for use in nuclear physics research near the proton and neutr...

The 2 GeV electron linac at the Pohang accelerator laboratory (PAL) has been operated continuously as a full energy injector since its completion on December 1994. The linac system has been continuously upgraded to improve overall system stability and reliability, as well as to increase final injection energy to 2.5 GeV. Eight klystron tubes out of 11 tubes are survived since the beginning of l...
