Design and studies on the traveling wave transverse RF deflecting structure

With the development of free electron laser (FEL) and the international linear collider (ILC), the electron bunch length is getting smaller and smaller. The traveling-wave transverse RF deflecting structure is an important part of the RF deflecting method for bunch length measurement and phase space diagnostics. The operation mode in RF deflector is the ``TM₁₁-like' mode. Since the TM₁₁-like mode in this structure has a pair of degenerate dipole modes, two additional holes are provided on either side of each iris to stabilize the mode. The simulation and optimization have been done. A prototype has been fabricated and tested. The cold test results have been compared with the simulations of the first three modes.     

Bunch length measurement using a traveling wave RF deflector

RF deflectors can be used for bunch length measurement with high resolution. This paper describes a completed S-band traveling wave RF deflector and the bunch length measurement of the electron beam produced by the photocathode RF gun of the Shanghai DUV-FEL facility. This is the first time that such a transverse RF deflector has been developed and used to measure the bunch length of picosecond order in China. The deflector＇s VSWR is 1.06, the whole attenuation 0.5 dB, and the bandwidth 4.77 MHz for VSWR less than 1.1. With a laser pulse width of 8.5 ps, beam energy of 4.2 MeV, and bunch charge of 0.64 nC, the bunch lengths for different RF input power into the deflector were measured, and an averaged rms bunch length of 5.25 ps was obtained. A YAG crystal is used as a screen downstream of the deflector, with the calibrated value of 1 pix = 136 μm.

RF-thermal-structural-RF coupled analysis on atravelling wave disk-loaded a ccelerating structure

The travelling wave (TW) disk-loaded accelerating structure is one of the key components in normal conducting (NC) linear accelerators, and has been studied for many years. In the design process, usually after the dimensions of each cell and the two couplers are finalized, the structure is fabricated and tuned, and then the whole structure RF characteristics are measured by using a vector network analyzer. Before fabrication, the whole structure characteristics (including RF, thermal and structural ones) are less simulated due to the limited capability of currently available computers. In this paper, we described a method for performing RF-thermal-structural-RF coupled analysis on a TW disk-loaded structure using only one PC. In order to validate our method, we first analyzed and compared our RF simulation results on the 3 m long BEPCⅡ structure with the corresponding experimental results, which shows very good consistency. Finally, the RF-thermal-structure-RF coupled analysis results on the 1.35 m long NSC KIPT linac accelerating structure are presented.     

BEPCⅡ直线加速器速调管的反射保护

为了使速调管陶瓷窗免受大功率微波反射信号的损伤,延长速调管使用寿命,要求当前反射信号功率超过阈值后,系统能够在下一个脉冲到达之前发出报警信号,进而切断触发信号,实现对速调管的保护。提出了3种较高性价比、易实施的方案,即PicoScope虚拟示波器的遮罩报警方案、基于自带检波和报警输出功能的芯片制作反射保护插件以及原功率计的升级改进。创新性地提出“3+1”反射保护响应时间测试法,并对上述3种方案进行详细测试。最终后两种方案取得较好的结果,综合考虑后,将改进型功率计作为最终实施方案。目前该改进型功率计已稳定可靠地上线运行超过1年。
