Tuning experience with the FMIT scale-model drift-tube linac
Abstract
A scale model of the fusion materials irradiation test facility (FMIT) 80 MHz drift tube linac (DTL) was constructed to investigate the tuning procedure. The model DTL has 16 cells and was constructed to have the accelerating mode at 367 MHz. The mode spectrum was measured for various post-penetrations, and field profiles of the modes were recorded. The field profiles were measured by using a beadpull apparatus, together with an automatic data acquisition system. Tilt sensitivity measurements were performed to find the optimum post-penetrations for stabilizing the accelerating mode.
