Racetrack microtron rf system
Abstract
The RF system for the National Bureau of Standards (NBS)/Los Alamos CW racetrack microtron is described. The low-power portion consists of five 75-W amplifiers that drive two input ports in each of two chopper deflection cavities and one port in the prebuncher cavity. A single 500-kW klystron drives four separate 2380-MHz cavity sections: the two main accelerator sections, a capture section, and a preaccelerator section. The phases and amplitudes in all cavities are controlled by electronic or electromechanical controls. The 1-MW klystron power supply and crowbar system were purchased as a unit; several modifications are described that improve power-supply performance. The entire RF system has been tested and shipped to the NBS, and the chopper-buncher system has been operated with beam at the NBS.
