RF power saving in large storage rings
Abstract
The application of CARTOP, constant amplitude rf to pulse converter is considered in order to obtain average and peak power gains in large e (+ or -) rings. CARTOP is a scheme where energy storage and modulation converts a continuous radio frequency (rf) wave into periodic rf pulses. A system with CARTOP is shown. The modulated rf goes through an energy storing network that contains at least one energy storing cavity which acts as a flywheel. Between pulses, it takes energy from the klystron and during the pulse it delivers energy to an accelerating cavity.
