Introduction
RF Source Importance
Modern Accelerator is so called RF accelerator, and RF Is
the key technology.

Accelerator frequency is ruled by the existence of the rf
source of matched frequency.

RF system is expensive and large fraction of total cost is
shared in RF source. Therefore choice of RF is very important.

RF source is the source of failure (arcing etc.) and careful
availability consideration and constant effort of maintenance
are required.

Variant of Linac - Electron Linac
Since the electron mass is light, it is easy to be accelerated up
to the light velocity (velocity is constant).
overall structures are the same

Longest Linac is SLAC 2-mile Linac (3.2km and 20GeV)
Second longest linac is KEK linac (500m and 8 GeV)
Small linac was developed for medical use (2-3m and 30 MeV)
Short pulse linac of which pulse duration of a few to 20 microsec.
-----wavelength of 10cm (S-band), 5cm (C-band) and X-band (2.5cm)
Long pulse linac of which pulse duration of a millisecond

Variant of Linac - Proton Linac
Since the proton mass is 2000 times heavier than electron, it is
hard to be accelerated up to the light velocity and depending on
the |(=v/c), several structures are used in proton linac and each
structure has a suitable frequency.
RFQ structures-----VHF band such as 201MHz-432MHz
Alvarez structures/DTL(Drift Tube Linac)-----same as RFQ

RF Sources suitable for accelerator
Factors required to accelerator rf source
1. Frequency range - higher than 0.3 GHz, klystron is best rf source. Less
than 0.3 GHz, Solid state amplifier, IOT and Tetrode are used.
2. Peak power capability-related with energy gain, short linac, and cost
benefit. How to minimize the discharge rate in tube and structures.
3. Average power capability related with duty cycle or repetition rate. Cw
accelerator.
4. Gain relate with driver amplifier. High gain is preferable; Generally
klystron is high gain such as 50 dB. IOT is around 20 dB. Power tetrode is
poor gain.
5. Phase stability klystron is voltage driven device and if applied voltage is
stable, phase property is excellent.
6. Simplicity, Availability and Long life klystron is much matured device
and satisfy these requirements.

Beam Bunching Theory
Basic Mechanism of Klystron(Linear theory)
Electron is velocity-modulated in an input cavity.
Then, electrons form bunch; density modulation
For this bunching mechanism, a simple linear theory is educative. There are two
approaches:
- Ballistic theory: electron which has a modulated velocity propagate without any
interaction with other electrons.
- Space-charge wave theory: entire electrons behave like a wave which is
ruled by space charge force, and automatically it contains the space charge force
effect.

More Realistic Analysis (large Signal Analysis)
For the interaction region near to output cavity, linear theory is not applicable and non
linear large signal analysis are required.

More realistic approach: Space charge of electrons in the metallic tube is
reduced due to the mirror effect. Therefore plasma frequency reduced factor is
Introduced, and reduced plasma frequency (wavelength) determines optimum
length of klystron.

Klystron Efficiency Issues
Klystron efficiency is important for high duty machine
and cw accelerator use
There are two approches to raise the klystron
efficiency
- Low pervence beam klystron
High voltage, low current way and arcing in
the gun area is concerned for high power
application
Multi-beam Approch to decrease voltage
- Using Higher order harmonics cavity
From the basic fact that saw-tooth like voltage
modulation gives the high efficiency
Most popular way is using 2
nd
harmonics
cavity in the bunching cavity region
More complicated structure to introduce
multiple harmonics cavities
- By using computer simulation,a wide band tuning
klystron and a very high efficiency klystron such as
80% are realized.

Idea
Klystron with low perveance: => High efficiency but high voltage
Klystron with low perveance and low high voltage : =>low high voltage but low power
Solution

=> low perveance per beam thus high efficiency
low voltage compared to klystron with single low perveance beam

Phase Variation of RF from Klystron
For linac, phase stability of RF is extreamly important
because variation dirctly reduces to energy variaion DE
Since klystron is voltage driven device and votage determine the electron
velocity, rf phase strongly depends on the voltage variation.

and


Usual S-band tube operating at 300kV range, this
phase variation Is roughly 6-8 deg./(dV/V%).
If you want to get AE /E=0.1%, then 0.025% of
voltage flatness is required.

Water cooling variation of tube body also causes
rf phase variation.
This happens since water temeperature changes
the gain cavitiys detuning frequency and bunch
center changes from original position.
this phase variation Is roughly
0.5-1 deg.phase/1 deg water temp.

RF Source other than Klystron
Klystron comprises of several cavities and their sizes are proportional to
wavelength. Therefore, lower is the frequency, larger is the klystron size and
actual lower limit of klystron is around 300MHz.
Tetrode
Proton linac low beta section such as 200 MHz, Tetrode (or Triode) is used.
RF system is complicated because each grid requires rf circuit.
Final stage ( a few MW) has a poor gain such as 6dB, and multi-stage
amplifier system is employed.
IOT(Klystrode)
For 100-1300 MHz Range and up to 100kW (peak or cw), IOT is used, High
efficiency such as 60% is achievable. No saturation nature and even under
LLRF control, high efficiency is achievable. Low gain nature requires
relatively large driver amplifier.
Solid state amplifier

RF Source other than Klystron (2)
Magnetron
Magnetron is an oscillator and its oscillation frequency varies. Feedback to
stabilize or tracking the frequency variation is inevitable. Crossfield amplifier
is not so popular. On the other hand since magnetron is cheap, this rf source
is used for small accelerator application
Gyroklystron
Since gyrotron is oscillator, gyroklystron was intensively studied for NLC (X-
band or more higher frequency ILC). Higher the frequency more suitable this
device is, while now intense study is not reported. Around 30-50MW output
level was reported. Expensive and difficult handling then klystron.

PFN Issues (Pulse flat top)
Since charging-discharging cycle is repeated in each PFN stage, flat top is folding
shape of n charging waveforms. Ringing of flat top of the pulse is strongly depend
on the stage number n of the PFN. For large n, smoother flat top, but cost is
expensive.
Usually, capacitors varies a few to ten % from nominal, and such variation should
be checked by analysis. C -> C+ affects the variation of Z and current i, and
then causes to V+ ,


On the other hand, effect of the inductance variation is,


Therefore, for the flat top adjustment, variation of capacitor is more serious (4
times larger effect). In order to compensate the droop come from pulse
transformer, larger capacitor should be set at the first stage, and positioning with
the capacitance value is recommended.
Since capacitance is hard to change, introduction of variable inductance is often
employed. Variable mechanism example: mechanical shorted structure, cylinder to
using eddy current effect.

Switching Device
Important feature of thyratron
Thyratron is switching the high voltage pulse and current of
10kA peak is switched off. If it is not properly controlled, pulse
time jitter is seriously generated.
A keep-alive circuit or pre-trigger circuit is very important to
reduce the pulse jitter. Many thyratron has a hydrogen reservoir
in side and inner pressure of hydrogen is kept proper level.
Frequent watch and adjustment of reservoir voltage are very
important.
Ranging techniques to determine the proper operation voltage of
reservoir of the thyratron:
Change the reservoir voltage during the operation and observe
the upper limit in which continuous discharging start and the
lower limit in which thyratron quits operation, and then
operation voltage of reservoir is set in the middle.

Protection Circuit for load discharge etc.


If discharge occurred in klystron or pulse transformer circuit, pulse
reflection occurs due to the mismatching effects. Serious case,
undesirable inverse voltage causes the failure of various devices.
Therefore, protection circuit is employed in the system and it force to
stop operation with a pulse or a few pulses later.
Fast protection: End of line clipper (within a pulse response)










Rather slow protection: reversed shunt
circuit
Average of inversed current due to the load
discharge is sensed and stop operation by
meter relay etc.
Charging Circuit is replaced by Inverter P/S
Charging Circuit can be replaced by
rather small inverter P/S.
It is possible to eliminate charging
reactor, and therefore modulator
becomes smaller.
Stability depends on the inverters
stability. De-Qing circuit is
eliminated.
Inverters failure rate is carefully
evaluated.
Charging is conducted linearly.

Discharging and Noise Problem (II)
Since pulse modulator produces a few microsecond high power pulse, it is a serious noise
generator. Especially the cabinet which contains thyratron, high voltage switching device,
generate large noises. Control signal (relay signal etc.) and analogue monitor cable from this
cabinet should be completely filtered from high
frequency noise.

For control signal for relay, signal is
come from discharge cabinet thru low
pass filter

Analogue signal is come from discharge
cabinet thru co-axial choke, which
reject common noise.
