Description
The NSLS-II particle accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory currently incorporates three transmitters, with two 310 kW klystron transmitters and one 310 kW solid state amplifier (SSA) each powering a single superconducting RF cavity. A second solid-state amplifier is being fabricated in industry to replace one of the klystron transmitters, within the next year. Based on lessons learned from the first SSA, a new architecture for the transmitter is being developed, which will incorporate a waveguide combiner and other improvements. The new design will interface with the previous transmitter’s infrastructure such as AC power, utilities/waveguide systems, etc. The new design will interface with the previous transmitters infrastructure such as AC power, utilities/waveguide systems, etc.
