To achieve the required temperature, a coiled wire heater is commonly used. These heaters are typically manufactured from Tungsten-Rhenium wire which is wound into a non-inductive coil. As the heater geometry is constrained by the material properties and electrical isolation needs of the wire, the coiled wire heater is often an inefficient use of available space and results in increased cost for the cathode assembly. The technology for a printed heater exists, but, so far, has been unable to meet the production resistivity requirements. This paper presents initial research using ink- jetted tungsten particles on a ceramic substrate as an alternate approach to the heater design.","PeriodicalId":88890,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference.

The ESS linac will accelerate 50mA of protons to 2 GeV in 2.86 ms long pulses at a repetition rate of 14 Hz on a tungsten target for neutron spallation. The linac contains 26 superconducting spoke cavities, which are being developed by IPN Orsay, France, and which accelerate the protons from 90 to 220 MeV. The FREIA laboratory at Uppsala University (Sweden) has developed the required RF power sources, procured the RF distribution and will test the cavities at nominal power. As no suitable amplifier was available at the ESS specifications (352MHz, 400kWp / 20kWavg, pulse width = 3.5 ms, pulse repetition frequency = 14 Hz), various technologies were compared and tetrode technology was selected for the first technology demonstrator RF power station at FREIA. We discuss the design of the technology demonstrator and present the first test results.","PeriodicalId":88890,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference.
