RF pulse compression in the NLC test accelerator at SLAC
- Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94309 (United States)
At the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), we are designing a Next Linear Collider (NLC) with linacs powered by X-band klystrons with rf pulse compression. The design of the linac rf system is based on X-band prototypes which have been tested at high power, and on a systems-integration test---the Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator (NLCTA)---which is currently under construction at SLAC. This paper discusses some of the systems implications of rf pulse compression, and the use of pulse compression in the NLCTA, both for peak power multiplication and for controlling, by rf phase modulation, intra-pulse variations in the linac beam energy. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
