Abstract
A compact metamaterial-inspired 648-MHz klystron for China Spallation Neutron Source second phase (CSNS-II) linac is investigated. By loading all-metal complementary electric split-ring resonators (CeSRRs) on the drift tube of a reentrant cavity, the cavity diameter is reduced to 198 mm, corresponding to $0.43\lambda $ . To account for the transverse nonuniformity of the cavity fields, area-averaged values of the characteristic impedance and coupling coefficient over the cross section of the electron beam are used in AJDisk. A six-cavity metamaterial-inspired high-frequency structure (MIHFS) with a second harmonic cavity is then optimized. Its cylindrical envelope volume is 40.24% smaller than that of the conventional 648-MHz klystron design. For a beam voltage of 97 kV and a beam current of 19.64 A, 3-D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations predict an output power of 1.32 MW, an electron efficiency of 69.38%, and a gain of 49.17 dB at an RF drive power of 16 W. Vacuum breakdown risk analysis and multiphysics study predict a peak electric field of 8.58 MV/m and a maximum output cavity temperature of $43.29~^{\circ }$ C with water cooling. These results indicate that the CeSRR-loaded structure is a feasible route to a compact MW-level 648-MHz klystron.
