Two units of 500 MHz 60 kW CW AR RF High Power Amplifiers (HPA) has been designed and manufactured as per LBNL's Engg Specifications & Requirements Document through a joint effort between engineers at LBNL and engineers at vendor R&K Company Ltd, Japan. The HPA design documents were reviewed by LBNL and also desk reviewed by NRTL company UL to USA standards prior to conducting the Final Design...
The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is a validation and test facility for the injector and the initial low-energy part of the IFMIF accelerator, designed to study a 125 mA-CW deuteron beam driver of the neutron source for the fusion materials examination. The RF section of the accelerator comprises three elements: a 9.8 m-long RFQ designed to extract a 5 MeV bunched beam accelerated...
FRIB is commissioning a 120 kW, 80.5 MHz solid-state RF amplifier for the RFQ cavity to increase overall system availability. Although reliability of the tetrode amplifier was greatly improved during commissioning and early operations, some potential failures may have long repair times. In contrast, solid-state amplifiers have shorter repair time due to the modular design and no high...
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...
