Daresbury Test system
4616 Amplifier Testing• Retesting of medium power amplifier system before connection to high power system
•New PLC control system looks after all power supplies interlocks and local safety – equipment doors etc
•Old Berkeley 4616 tube still installed and produced – 100kW power quite easily – more possible with time, will test again next week
•CERN test load will then be disconnected and system connected to power large amplifier

Electrical controls
• Base of amplifier includes air blowers, cathode switcher, filament PSU and control electronics
• Electrical systems being tested now
• RF input ready to be connected up to 4616 amp

Base of amplifier
RF test load
• 1 megawatt test load installed on stand and piped up to glycol cooling
• 200kw load being used for 4616 test, needs to be removed before connection can be made
• Can be moved to RAL for tests in hall

116 amplifier output•Problem found with using original HT connection, quick solution was to use part of one of the CERN amplifiers
•CERN/Berkeley amps are directly compatible in this area
•Water supplies connect through 40kV HT connection to amplifier valve for cooling -complex arrangement, we can copy it from CERN drawings
•Water input and return
•Output match tuning stub
•Coax 9 inch to 6 inch transition and output

RF Testing• Retest of 4616 has been done this week• Electrical checks of 116 auxiliary electrical systems
underway• CERN HT connection used• Next week connect up drive coax between 4616 and
116 (with loaned flexible section from RAL linac group)
• Should have results of testing with RF in December for entire system into load

Hall design
Collaboration meeting, RAL, 7th – 10th October 2007
Andrew Moss
• 6 inch distribution coax will be used from amplifiers• Large phase shifters will be needed 3-4 meter devices• hybrid power splitter with a 1MW reject load for each
cavity • Phase shifters needed to used to correct for phase error
at cavity coupler, possible to use limited range probe style phase shifters
• Rotary joints before cavity inputs to allow disconnection of cavity/testing into load
• Nitrogen pressure in coax to help prevent breakdown and provide interlock for coax guide complete

Coax components• 4 1MW loads
needed for each RFCC installation
• 1 RF trombone for Berkeley amp ~ Big!
• 2 RF trombones for CERN amp
3 meters long
Hall implementation• RF coax has to be this big to stand off the
voltages inside• Design of layout of coax and components will
be started very soon• Need to develop CAD models to see how it
will all fit under the floor• Search to find smaller devices, need to liaise
with manufactures and perhaps test at DL to check operation

Plan
• Test 116 amplifier
• Design hall coax in detail and work out how to fit it all in space for steps 5 and 6
• Assemble CERN amplifier and test with current power supplies
• Autumn 2010 move first amplifier system to MICE hall and install
CERN amplifier awaiting assembly

Conclusion
• Large amplifier ready and will re-commission to 1MW using old tubes
• Will run for as long as possible to develop understanding and look for weak points
• CERN amplifiers on site awaiting build• Hall layout needs careful work • search for smaller key coax component’s if possible• Two new TH116 tubes have been delivered to DL,
two more due soon
