Evaluation of Performance, Reliability, and Risk for High Peak Power Rf Sources from S-band through X-band for Advanced Accelerator Applications

چکیده
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 power RF sources from S-band through X-band including reliability and the facility risk incurred for applications demanding high availability and decades-long operation.

The high accelerating gradients required for future linear colliders demands a better study of field emission and RF breakdown in accelerator structures. Changes in structure geometry, vacuum pumping, fabrication methods, and surface finish can all potentially impact the conditioning process, dark current emission, and peak RF power handling capability. Recent tests at SLAC of KEK’s “M2” travel...

Particle accelerators at X-band frequencies have been shown to reach gradients of greater than 100 MV/m [1,2]. Such technology permits more compact accelerators. One of our aims at the Colorado State University (CSU) Accelerator Laboratory is to adapt this technology to our L-band (1.3 GHz) accelerator system to increase our overall beam energy; however, we would like to do this in a passive ma...
متن کاملApplications of X-band Technology in Medical Accelerators
Most radiation therapy machines are based on microwave linear accelerators. The majority of medical accelerators use frequencies in the S-band range. Having a compact accelerator allows for a wide range of treatments. The size and weight of the accelerator is substantially reduced if a higher frequency is used. X-band frequencies are suitable for such applications. The X-band accelerator techno...
