High Power RF systems Status and Operating Experience #2
- Markus Schneider
The NSLS-II light source has been operating since 2015 with two 500 MHz Superconducting cavities fed by Klystron based amplifiers providing in up to 1.8 MV of accelerating gradient and up to 310kW of RF power per system. A third 500 MHz system project was completed and installed in 2021 consisting of a superconducting cavity assembled in-house and a 320 kW cavity combined Solid State amplifier...
A solid state amplifier family has been developed to provide 30kW pulsed at 352 MHz for each of the three buncher cavities of the ESS proton linac. The presentation will give an overview of the amplifiers, with a focus on the installation and tests carried out. The amplifiers are now in operation having been used initially for cavity conditioning and recently for early operation with beam....
14 years of LHC operation 300kW/400MHz klystrons
5 years of Linac4 operation a mix od recuperated LEP klystrons and new klystrons 1MW/352MHz

The European Spallation Source (ESS) will be the world’s most powerful pulsed neutron source by the end of the decade, which will accelerate a beam of protons with a beam current 62.5 mA to 2 GeV. The beam pulse width is 2.86 ms long and pulse repetition frequency is 14 Hz. The acceleration will be provided by 155 cavities, out of which 97 % of the cavities are superconducting.
