Fermilab 5 Simplified Layout of the RF Fan-out for 8 GeV HINS Linac This is simplified Layout of the high power RF distribution system The 325 MHz high power line is as shown except it will have 3 power splitter for Powering 3 directional coupler Arms and the RFQ. The 1300 MHz high power line because the base line klystron has two 5 MW power o utput Lines will have two 5 MW branches with several power splitters in each powering directional coupler arms.

Fermilab 7 Status of Required Components Vendor quotes have been received for the required hybrid power splitters. Vendor quotes have been received for the string of directional couplers required to provide RF power to the cavities. In-house studies of directional coupler strings using HFSS is underway.
Fermilab 8 Directional Coupling Factors along the 325 MHz section of the HINS Linac The chart shows that the Superconducting cavity coupling factors remain constant with changes in beam loading (Blue and Yellow curves). The red and black curves show the coupling factor change with beam loading with beam loading changes.

Fermilab 14 Bouncer Modulator Waveforms Switch connects main capacitor bank to transformer during pulse. Transformer steps up voltage to 120kV/130A (12:1) Main capacitor bank discharges by 20% during pulse “Bouncer” circuit compensates for cap bank droop.

Fermilab 18 Conclusions All of the components for the 325 MHz klystron output RF power testing are on-hand. First RF power testing of 325 MHz klystron is scheduled for July of this year. Major Components of the modulator are on hand and testing of major assemblies is underway. Design of the of the equipment and safety interlocks has been completed. Construction and assembly and testing of the boards are underway. Conceptual design of the low level RF system has started in collaboration with LBL. Adaptations of In-house, Desy and SNS prototype control boards are under study.
