CEBAF Superconducting Cavity RF Drive System
The CEBAR RF system consists of 418 individual RF amplifier chains. Each superconducting cavity is phase locked to the master drive reference line to within 1 degree, and the cavity field gradient is regulated to within 1 part in 10 by a state-of-the-art RF control module. Precision, continuously adjustable, modulo 360 phase shifters are used to generate the individual phase references, and a compensated RF detector is used for level feedback. The close coupled digital system enhances system accuracy, provides self-calibration, and continuously checks the system for malfunction. Calibration curves, the operating program, and system history are stored in an on board EEPROM. The RF power is generated by a 5Kw, water cooled, permanent magnet focused klystorn. The klystons are clustered in groups of 8 and powered from a common supply. RF power is transmitted to the accelerator sections by semiflexible waveguide.
