Session 4a
- Daniel Valuch (CERN)
The transition from klystrons to solid state rf power sources at the Advanced Photon Source is well underway, with the first four 352MHz/160kW solid state rf systems scheduled for installation in the fall of 2025. R&D efforts leading up to the transition to solid state will be discussed, including the design and testing of 352MHz prototype solid state rf amplifiers at the 12kW, 32kW, and...
Sixteen years after the circulation of the first beam in the LHC, Cern is preparing to upgrade the RF systems for the high luminosity LHC phase. This contribution will give an overview of the experience gained during operation of the LINAC4 and LHC klystron-based systems, and then describe the current status of the preparation for the upgrade which will be implemented during Long Shutdown 3...
The commissioning of klystron systems for the first phase of the European Spallation Source with an average power capability of a 2MW beam on target is complete. More than 70 site acceptance tests of high power pulsed klystrons have been carried out over the last years. This talk will describe some of the difficulties experienced during on-site testing and the technical solutions developed and...
Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies (ICRF) have been demonstrated in reactor-grade plasmas to be effective at plasma heating and central current drive, which are necessary to initiate and maintain controlled fusion reactions. For high magnetic field fusion devices 60-240 MHz systems are envisioned, which are ideal for solid state devices.
Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) is building a...
