■Summary

3. Collider SRF Parameters:
CEPC-Collider
Cavity Type
650MHz 2-cell
Cavity number
336
Coupler input power
300 (kW) (Higgs mode)
The CEPC collider SRF system consists of cell cavities. A minimum transmitter power of 300 kW to cavity coupler is required to meet the sum of the radiated, HOM and reflected power demands .

4. Collider RF Source Parameters:
CEPC-Collider
Klystron Type
650MHz CW
Klystron number
168
Klystron output power
800 kW
Considering the klystron operation lifetime, power redundancy, transmission losses and linear operation region, a single 800 kW klystron amplifier will drive two of collider cavities through a magic tee and related circulators, phase shift and loads.

5. Collider
RF Unit:
(Collider RF Unit 1 of 168)
Schematic of the RF Power source system
A Magic Tee is needed to split the power to the two 2-cell cavities. One of the cavity feed line consists of a phase shifter. A CW 800 kW circulator and load is installed to protect klystron.

6. Collider
Klystron:
The acquisition of high efficiency of RF power source for CEPC project is a key issue.
As of now, a CW/long pulsed tubes which are relatively low perveance has a range up to 60-65%.
Considering the recent high efficiency approach, our goal is set to be the efficiency of around 80% and tried to manufacture a klystron prototype in China.

7. Collider
Klystron:
Because of klystron efficiency is more than 80%, in order to fulfill this program, there may have following problems:
1) No experience and no related infrastructure on this kind of klystron;
2) Design and simulation are not enough and matured;
3) Let’s start from classical design to higher efficiency design.

The CEPC Booster RF system consists of 1300 MHz superconducting RF cavities. There are 12 cryo-modules, each containing eight 9-cell superconducting cavities. These cavities need 96 sets of 1300 MHz power sources on Higgs mode.

12. Booster RF Power source choice:
Different possible alternatives, klystron, solid state amplifier(SSA) and IOT et al.
Compared with vacuum tube, SSA is much high reliability for redundancy design, high flexibility for module design, low maintenance requirements, absence of warm-up time and low voltage operation.
Compared with IOT, SSA is much stable and less costly.
The efficiency of SSA is also reasonable. So the SSA is priority selection for CEPC booster RF power system.

13. Booster SSA Parameters:

The mean time between failures (MTBF) should be larger than 30,000 hours, and less than 5% of the power modules fail per year.
