Rf System for the NLCTA
Abstract
This paper describes an X-Band rf system for the Next Linear Accelerator Test Accelerator. The rf system consists of a 90 MeV injector and a 540 MeV linac. The main components of the injector are two low-Q single-cavity prebunchers and two 0.9-m-long detuned accelerator sections. The linac system consists of six 1.8-m-long detuned, or damped and detuned, accelerator sections powered in pairs. The rf power generation, compression, delivery, distribution and measurement systems consist of klystrons, SLED-II energy compression systems, rectangular waveguides, magic-T's, and directional couplers. The phase and amplitude for each prebuncher is adjusted via a magic-T type phase shifter/attenuator. The correct phasing between two 0.9 m accelerator sections is obtained by properly setting the sections and adjusting two squeeze type phase shifters. Also, bunch phase and bunch length can be monitored by special microwave cavities and measurement systems. The design, fabrication, microwave measurement, calibration, and operation for above sub-systems and their components will be presented.
