Commissioning and first operational experience of the 400 MeV Linac at Fermilab
Commissioning of the Fermilab High Energy Linac during September and October of 1993 has increased the energy of the H- linac from 200 to 400 MeV. The Linac Upgrade is one portion of the Fermilab Upgrad and is intended to reduce the incoherent space-charge tuneshift at injection into the 8 GeV Booster. To accomplish this increase in energy within the existing enclosure, four 201.25 MHz drift-tube linac tankshave been replaced by seven 805 MHz side-coupled cavity modules to accelerate the beam from 116 MeV to 400 MeV. Each module is driven with a klystron amplifier delivering 10 MW of peak power for 60 {mu}sec with a maximum pulse repetition rate of 15 Hz. Nominal beam current is 35 mA with a pulselength of 40 {mu}sec. Results from commissioning and operational experience during Fermilab Collider Run 1B are presented.
