XL5 performance at SLAC (Feb 2010)
Voltage, Current and rf waveforms at 57MW 1.25usDespite admin delays (1 year to agree to WFO text) SLAC had klystron ready ahead of schedule
Unfortunately during preparation for shipment the klystron was damaged
Best efforts agreement meant CERN had to pay for repair Klystron eventually delivered to CERN end of October 2010

Klystron Delivered to CERN October 2010
Although there was some cosmetic damage the tube vacuum was ok and there didn't seem to be anything visually wrong with the tube
![Page 5: Status of our X-band klystrons](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568165a0550346895dd87dfa/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Klystron installation in modulator with help from our SLAC collaborators
Many teething problems with modulator calibration, interlocking etc. But we got first pulse on klystron before end of the year, stopped to do some modifications to modulator
![Page 6: Status of our X-band klystrons](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568165a0550346895dd87dfa/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
First signs of trouble
• When klystron was reinstalled we turned Ion Pump supplies on and they indicated that the klystron was up to near air pressure ... Disaster as klystron is sealed unit with pinch off
• Contacted SLAC and we decided a leak test may be possible, SLAC sent engineer to participate
• While waiting for SLAC engineer, we removed the tube and contacted our vacuum group to see what was the best way to proceed
![Page 7: Status of our X-band klystrons](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568165a0550346895dd87dfa/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

New ion pump and valve installedtube pumped down vacuum ok

Tube was baked out at 200 degrees for 4 daysActivated cathode during the bake out periodSuccess tube ready for reinstallation
![Page 9: Status of our X-band klystrons](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568165a0550346895dd87dfa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Reinstallation of klystron in modulator
• Several issues with believing current and voltage calibration of the modulator
• But tube was pulsing !!!
• If we believe the figures from the voltage and current waveforms the perveance (I/V3/2) on the tube is lower than what was seen at SLAC
• Varying heater filament current while pulsing eliminated the idea of cathode pollution (poor electron emission). One other option left, was the cathode misaligned in the gun?
• Unfortunately the calorimetric measurement confirmed the low perveance and allowed us to believe that the voltage and current measurements were correct
• Temperature probes were installed at input and output of collector water cooling and also a precision flow meter in order to do a calorimetric check.

Conclusive that there is a misalignmentalthough we don't really know how it happened
what do we do ?
• First option• We send the tube back to SLAC for repair• As its a best effort collaboration will cost us 200k$
and at least 6 months delay• Second option
• Long shot, try and realign gun at CERN• Risky but if it doesn't work the tube will have to be
sent back anyway• Extra 4 week delay but worth the risk?

After consultation with SLAC we prepared a clamping system to squeeze the gun on the “low side”
The process seemed to have worked and the misalignment was removed and tube vacuum still ok
Tube reinstalled in modulator

First RF from klystron on 6th September 2011Snippet from logbook
No vacuum activity in klystron only loads

For almost 2 years, ~13000 operational hours no problemsGun arcs started occurring in November last year
Decided to remove klystron to see if ion pump reading was klystron or modulator problem
With klystron removed the modulator circuit for ion pump supply was ok

Shell Diala B oil reacted with rubber insulationcausing it to “dissolve”
We are now reasonably confident that the tube may still be ok to operate

CPI VKX-8311A
• Call for tender for industrialized XL5 equivalent September 2010• Contract signed with CPI 25th June 2011 for two tubes with
option of a spare– Under DOE rules SLAC collaborated with CPI for the industrial design
• Delivery of first tube expected March 2013• After bake out of tube there was a vacuum problem due to
some contamination in the gun area – tube refurbishment• Tube shipped to SLAC for testing July 2013, took 5 months to
condition to nominal 50 MW (not just klystron problem but RF network conditioning and no 24/7 running at SLAC)
• Tube final factory acceptance tests January 2014

CPI VKX-8311A
• 2nd tube has been assembled and baked out– After consultation with SLAC the bake out temperature was
increased by 90 degrees compared to first tube• Unfortunately there are 2 leaks on the output gaskets on
the waveguide components– New gaskets being manufactured– New bake out in 2 to 3 weeks– Testing at SLAC probably beginning of April
• Acceptance tests estimated for June/July 2014 (if testing goes well)
• Option for 3rd tube, not ordered yet

Toshiba E37113• 6 MW, 400 Hz, 5µs• Turnkey solution for 4 klystron modulators• Tender March 2013• Contract August 2013• Delivery of fist pre series klystron modulator
planned for October 2014– Klystron design and manufacture ahead of schedule– Modulator on schedule
• 3 series production units no later than July 2015

Summary• XL5 removed from XBOX 1, will be installed in XBOX 2 next week
– Commission modulator with this tube – Test if tube is ok– Condition crab cavity
• CPI tube S.No. 1– Arrives next week– Install in XBOX 1 (happy with modulator, easier to commission new tube)– Test into load tree to full power (50 MW, 1.5µs)– Put load tree in CTF2 and condition RF network with compressed pulse– Connect to cavity in dogleg and condition
• CPI tube S.No. 2– Upon arrival install in XBOX2 to do acceptance tests on tube
• Keep XL5 as hot spare if still considered operational until CPI tube number 3 arrives, otherwise send back to SLAC for repair
