Development of the 50-Mev DTL for the Jaeri/Kek Joint Project

An Alvaretz-type DTL, to accelerate the H- ion beam from 3 to 50 MeV, is being constructed as the injector for the JAERI/KEK Joint Project. The following components of the DTL have been developed: (1) a cylindrical tank, made by copper electroforming; (2) rf contactors; (3) a pulse-excited quadrupole magnet with a hollow coil made by copper electroforming; (4) a switching-regulator-type pulsed-power supply for the quadrupole magnet. High-power tests of the components have been conducted using a short-model tank. Moreover a breakdown experiment of the copper electrodes has been carried out in order to study the properties of several kinds of copper materials.

The RF source of the 60-MeV Linac for the KEK/JAERI Joint Project

The construction of the 60-MeV proton linac has started as a low-energy front of the KEK/JAERI Joint Project for a high-intensity proton accelerator facility at KEK. The accelerating frequency is 324 MHz. Five UHF klystrons are used as an rf source; their ratings have a maximum power of 3 MW, a beam pulse width of a 700 micro-sec (an rf pulse width is 650 micro-sec) and a repetition rate of 50 pps. We have manufactured a proto-type rf source (a power-supply system with a modulating-anode pulse modulator and prototype klystrons). In this paper, the specifications and developments of the rf source, including the WR-2300 waveguide system, are summarized. During the manufacturing process, strong oscillations due to back-going electrons from the collector were observed. This phenomenon was analyzed both experimentally and theoretically. We have tested up to an output power of nearly 3 MW, and succeeded to test the DTL hot-model structure.
