Description
Eighty RF positions are being added to the existing 340 as part of an energy doubling upgrade at Jefferson Lab. Built around a newly designed and higher efficiency 13 kW klystron developed for JLab by L-3 Communications, each new RF chain is completely revamped because of increased power capabilities, yet needed to fit into an existing footprint. This paper will discuss the main components of the new systems including the 13 kW klystron, waveguide isolator, and switch-mode HV power supply, plus installation and operational results so far
