Abstract
To implement the linear injector for the proposed Jinhua light source (JHLS) project, a 1-m C-band constant gradient (CG) traveling-wave (TW) accelerating structure is developed with the aim of generating a gradient of $\geq 40$ MV/m. This C-band structure works at a mode of $3\pi $ /4 with a relatively low group velocity varying from $0.016c$ to $0.009c$ to increase the accelerating gradient at a given input power. It employs a cell shape with elliptical irises and circular arc tops to reduce the surface electric and magnetic fields and to achieve an average shunt impedance of 94 M$\Omega $ /m through optimizations. This results in an accelerating gradient of 40 MV/m with an input power of 29.6 MW, which means this structure can convert the input power into the accelerating gradient with a high efficiency. Moreover, a new technique is utilized for the design of couplers, significantly simplifying the whole optimization process and achieving high accuracy. After fabrication, the structure was precisely tuned, and results from low-power radio frequency (RF) measurements and the comparison with simulated values are also presented in this article.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is a publication of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. It is viewed as the primary source of technical information in many of the areas it covers. As judged by JCR impact factor, TNS consistently ranks in the top five journals in the category of Nuclear Science & Technology. It has one of the higher immediacy indices, indicating that the information it publishes is viewed as timely, and has a relatively long citation half-life, indicating that the published information also is viewed as valuable for a number of years.
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is published bimonthly. Its scope includes all aspects of the theory and application of nuclear science and engineering. It focuses on instrumentation for the detection and measurement of ionizing radiation; particle accelerators and their controls; nuclear medicine and its application; effects of radiation on materials, components, and systems; reactor instrumentation and controls; and measurement of radiation in space.
