The applications of magnetrons to high power proton and cw electron linacs are discussed. An experiment is described where a 2.45 GHz magnetron has been used drive single cell superconducting cavity. With the injection locked, modest phase control accuracy 0.95\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} rms demonstrated. Factors limiting performance have identified.
Cooling of hadron beams is critically important in the next generation storage rings for delivery unprecedented performance. One such application electron-ion collider presently under development US. The desire to develop electron coolers operation at much higher energies than previously achieved necessitates use radio-frequency (RF) fields acceleration as opposed conventional, electrostatic approach. While cooling a mature technology low energy utilizing DC beam, RF requires beam be...
We describe the activities underway at JLab to develop new CW cryomodules capable of transporting up Ampere-levels beam currents for use in ERLs and FELs. Goals include an efficient cell shape, high packing factor real-estate gradient very strong HOM damping push BBU thresholds by two or more orders magnitude compared existing designs. Cavity ancillary components are optimized this application. Designs being developed low-frequency (750 MHz), Ampere-class compact FELs high-frequency (1.5...
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerating Facility, Lab, is producing 24 Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cryomodules for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) cold linac. This includes one medium-/spl beta/ (0.61) prototype, 11 production, and 12 high beta (0.81) production cryomodules. After testing, prototype cryomodule was shipped to Oak Ridge Laboratory (ORNL) acceptance check out has been completed. All orders cavities components are being received at this time run started. Each of...
In recirculating accelerators, and in particular energy recovery linacs (ERLs), the maximum current can been limited by multipass, multibunch beam breakup (BBU), which occurs when electron interacts with higher-order modes (HOMs) of an accelerating cavity on pass again recovered pass. This effect is concern design modern high average accelerators utilizing superconducting RF technology. Experimental observations instability at Jefferson Laboratory 10 kW Free-Electron Laser (FEL) are...
The Thomas Jefferson national accelerator facility has begun a cryomodule refurbishment project. goal of this project is robust 6 GeV, 5 pass operation the continuous electron beam (CEBAF). scope includes removing, refurbishing and replacing 10 CEBAF cryomodules at rate three per year. Refurbishment reprocessing SRF cavities to eliminate field emission increase nominal gradient from original MV/m 12.5 MV/m. New "dogleg" couplers between cavity helium vessel flanges will intercept secondary...
In a previous paper the cavity [1] design for an Ampere-class cryomodule was introduced. We have since fabricated 1500 MHz version of single cell with waveguide couplers HOM and fundamental power, attached to one end cavity, 5-cell made from large grain niobium without and. 750 endgroups get some information about obtainable Q-values, gradients multipacting behavior at lower frequency.

The load is designed to absorb Radio Frequency (RF) heat induced by HOMs in 748.5MHz Each targeted at 4 kW dissipation capability. Water cooling employed remove the generated ceramic tiles and surface losses on waveguide walls. A sequentially coupled RF-thermal-structural analysis was developed ANSYS optimize HOM design. Frequency-dependent dielectric material properties...
Abstract This paper proposes a high‐frequency multiple‐receiver wireless power transfer (WPT) system with load‐independent class‐E/F inverter. Each receiver has post‐regulator, which changes the equivalent resistance seen from inverter to obtain necessary for output voltage regulation. Because generates constant AC current ( ), transmitter supplies minimum required receivers by change of resistances. Besides, consistently achieves zero‐voltage switching (ZVS) without any control. As result,...

The U.S. electron ion collider will utilize high current and storage rings with many bunches large rf systems. Because of the dissimilarity two rings, transients created by gaps or variations in distributions be very different rings.
