SECTION Klystron N°2 PULSE COMPRESSOR ATT 3 dB splitter THE C-BAND @ LNF: SPARC ENERGY UPGRADE C-band Station C-band ENERGY COMPRESSOR C-band acc. structures > 35 MV/m 5712 MHz – 50 MW 1.4 m ≈ 50 MW ≈ 100 MW/0.20 μs 2.5 μs E > 240 MeV The new C-band system consists mainly of:  2 accelerating sections (1.4 m long)  1 C-band klystron (50 MW), by Toshiba Ltd (JP)  1 Pulsed HV modulator supplied by ScandiNova (S)  WR187 waveguide system  400 W solid state driver supplied by MitecTelecom (CDN)  SLED The SPARC energy will be upgraded from  170 to >240 MeV by replacing a low gradient S-band traveling wave section with two C-band units. We decided to implement this system at SPARC to explore the C Band acceleration (RF components, construction at LNF TW sections, SLED, syncronization) in hybrid scheme with S Band: -Higher gradients -Very promising from the beam dynamics point of view

5. Structure design (CI) The structure has been designed in order to: -simplify the fabrication (Constant Impedance) -reduce the peak surface field on the irises when the structure is feed by the SLED pulse (large irises- Constant Impedance) -obtain an average accelerating field >35 MV/m with the available power from the klystron; -reduce the unbalance between the accelerating field at the entrance and at the end of the structure, due to the combination of power dissipation along the structure and SLED pulse profile (Constant Impedance). -reduce the filling time of the structure to input pulse length and, consequently, to reduce to the BDR (large irises) -increase the pumping speed (large irises) Coupler design Based on the “new generation” of couplers for high gradient operation proposed at SLAC for high gradient X Band structures (waveguide couplers) DESIGN OF C BAND TW STRUCTURES FOR SPARC (D.

6. HIGH POWER TEST @ KEK The high-power test started on November 5 and was completed on December 13, 2010. For almost one month of processing, from November 5 until December 2, more than 10 8 RF pulses of 200 ns width were sent into the structure with a repetition rate of 50 Hz. For a couple of days the RF pulse length was changed to 300 ns and for one day (November 12) the repetition rate was decreased to 25 Hz. On November 15, SKIP was switched on.

Critical e.m. design: notch filter can reflect also other modes. 2. Not possible to tune the structure 4. Cooling at 100 Hz, long pulse length (?)
