42. The Multi-Beam IOT developments for ESS

Morten Jensen (European Spallation Source)

23/06/2016, 11:00

Oral presentation

The high beta section of the ESS linac requires 84 RF sources which each have to deliver 1.1 MW to the beam plus a power overhead capability for losses and regulation requirements. This talk will summarise the main reasons for funding the IOT developments for this part of the linac, present the outline IOT design and simulation results. Additionally, a selection of key results from the first...

47. Initial Factory Test of the L6200 Multi-Beam IOT for ESS

Mark Kirshner (L-3 Communications)

23/06/2016, 11:30

Oral presentation

L-3 Communications Electron Devices is developing a 1.2 MW Multi-Beam Inductive Output Tube (MBIOT) for the European Spallation Source. Construction of the MBIOT has been completed, an in-house test facility is operational, and factory testing is in process. In this talk, the MBIOT design and supporting simulation work will be summarized, as will important aspects of the fabrication process...

24. Improvements to Diamond Light Source RF Amplifiers

Peter Marten (Diamond Light Source)

23/06/2016, 12:00

Oral presentation

Reliability of Diamond Light Source has improved enormously since operation for users began in 2007, with overall machine MTBF for the 12 months to May 2016 over 120 hours. Details are presented of reliability-related management and improvements to both storage ring and booster amplifiers. Beam quality is also an issue for users and so work has been carried out to minimise and remove high...
