Collinear load is a substitute for waveguide load to miniaturize irradiation accelerators and make the system compact. The key technology is to design coaxial cavities coated inside with attenuating materials which will terminate the remnant power, meanwhile the operation frequency of 2856 MHz retains. For lossy materials such as Kanthal (25%Cr-5%Al-Fe) alloy, CST is used to simulate the effect of the coating on the load cavity properties like the operation frequency and attenuation. The frequency shifts caused by the coatings would be compensated by the strategy of cavity dimensions adjustment. Simulations revealed the compensation rules of the cavity inner radius b. Meanwhile the relationship between the attenuation and the coating area was also resolved. Based on a specified power allocation, a 15 kW collinear load consisting of six cavities at 2π/3 mode was designed with one-way attenuation of -18.8 dB. Two sets of prototype cavities have been manufactured and the experiment results are presented, compared with the CST simulations.

Microwave-absorbing material is an essential part of LINAC collinear load. It is coated on the inner walls of several trailing accelerating cavities to transform the remnant microwave power into heat. Fe-85%Si-9.6%Al-5.4% alloy, which reveals low outgassing rate and high attenuation, is selected for collinear load R&D. To measure the permittivity and permeability of FeSiAl at 2856 MHz, the coaxial transmission-reflection method is adopted. The system is firstly examined by testing the hollow coaxial fixture and comparing the results with the electromagnetic parameters of the air. Measurements of two PTFE rings show that the air gaps between the fixture and samples influence the test results seriously. CST is utilized to simulate the effects on the FeSiAl measure-ments. Eventually a scheme of molding the samples of FeSiAl powder mixed with paraffin to form a wax mold is proposed and the permittivity and permeability of FeSiAl are derived from the electromagnetic parameters equivalent formulas of mixed medium.

Collinear load, consisted of several coaxial cavities, is a substitute for traditional waveguide-type load to absorb the remnant power of the LINAC and makes the accelerating structure compact and small-size. The power loss on the cavities of collinear load brings thermal deformation which affects their resonant frequency deeply. In this paper, a new approach of 3D reconstruction of the thermal deformed cavities is utilized to evaluate the accurate influence on frequency change caused by non-uniform deformation and water cooling strategies of collinear absorbing load are studied. Then the thermal behavior of a six-cavity collinear load, which is coated with Kanthal alloy and FeSiAl alloy and used on a 2856MHz, 2π/3 mode respectively, is researched. The results show that the collinear load with Kanthal alloy can only absorb up to 10kW, while with FeSiAl alloy it can dissipate 15kW when the water flow controlled within 3.0kg/s for energy saving.
