The construction of the 60-MeV proton linac has started as a low-energy front of the KEK/JAERI Joint Project for a high-intensity proton accelerator facility at KEK. The accelerating frequency is 324 MHz. Five UHF klystrons are used as an rf source; their ratings have a maximum power of 3 MW, a beam pulse width of a 700 micro-sec (an rf pulse width is 650 micro-sec) and a repetition rate of 50 pps. We have manufactured a proto-type rf source (a power-supply system with a modulating-anode pulse modulator and prototype klystrons). In this paper, the specifications and developments of the rf source, including the WR-2300 waveguide system, are summarized. During the manufacturing process, strong oscillations due to back-going electrons from the collector were observed. This phenomenon was analyzed both experimentally and theoretically. We have tested up to an output power of nearly 3 MW, and succeeded to test the DTL hot-model structure.

The JAERI/KEK Joint Project for the high-intensity proton accelerator facility has been proposed with a superconducting (SC) linac option from 400 MeV to 600MeV. System design of the SC linac has been carried out based on the equipartitioning concept. The SC linac is planned to use as an injector to a 3GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) for spallation neutron source after it meets requirement to momentum spread less than +-0.1%. In the R&D work for SC cavities, vertical tests of single-cell and 5 cell cavities were performed. Experiments on multi-cell (5 cell) cavities of b=0.50 and b=0.89 at 2K were carried out with values of maximum electric surface peak fields of 23MV/m and 31MV/m, respectively. A model describing dynamic Lorentz detuning for SC cavities has been developed for pulse mode operation. Validity of the model was confirmed experimentally to simulate the performance.
An Alvaretz-type DTL, to accelerate the H- ion beam from 3 to 50 MeV, is being constructed as the injector for the JAERI/KEK Joint Project. The following components of the DTL have been developed: (1) a cylindrical tank, made by copper electroforming; (2) rf contactors; (3) a pulse-excited quadrupole magnet with a hollow coil made by copper electroforming; (4) a switching-regulator-type pulsed-power supply for the quadrupole magnet. High-power tests of the components have been conducted using a short-model tank. Moreover a breakdown experiment of the copper electrodes has been carried out in order to study the properties of several kinds of copper materials.
Quadrupole electromagnets have been developed with a hollow coil produced using an improved periodic reverse electroforming. These will be installed in each of the drift tubes of the DTL (324 MHz) as part of the JAERI/KEK Joint Project at the high-intensity proton accelerator facility. Measurements of the magnets properties were found to be consistent with computer-calculated estimated. The details of the design, the fabrication process, and the measurement results for the quadrupole magnet are described.
In the framework of the upgrade of the SPARC_LAB facility at INFN-LNF, named EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB, a high gradient linac is foreseen. One of the most suitable options is to realize it in X-band. A preliminary design study of both accelerating structures and power distribution system has been performed. It is based on 0.5 m long travelling wave (TW) accelerating structures operating in the 2{pi}/3 mode and fed by klystrons and pulse compressor systems. The main parameters of the structures and linac are presented with the basic RF linac layout.
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) project at SLAC uses a dense 15 GeV electron beam passing through a long undulator to generate extremely bright x-rays at 1.5 angstroms. The project requires electron bunches with a nominal peak current of 3.5kA and bunch lengths of 0.020mm (70fs). The bunch compression techniques used to achieve the high brightness impose challenging tolerances on the accelerator RF phase and amplitude. The results of measurements on the existing SLAC linac RF phase and amplitude stability are summarised and improvements needed to meet the LCLS tolerances are discussed.
