  New accelerator RF system was upgraded to the solid-state amplifier in ADS project due to its stable, sustainable and reliable. Until now, newest 80kW SSA was adopted in IMP, operating in 162.5MHz, and over 120 power modules were combined through several synthesizers for 80kW output. but since too many modules were optimized for amplitude and phase in the same time, one or some failure of circulator will lead to injure of whole RF system, when wavelength meets a specific condition, injure would turn out severe accident and heavy loss. In this paper, analyzing and simulating the multi-level synthetic matrix was the important method for ADS accident happened in June 20. 2017, the failure simulated results for RF amplify links under the specific circumstances also was presented simultaneously.

  Solid-state RF amplifiers, which have long lifetimes and small failures, are the recent trend of reliable and stable high-power rf sources for particle accelerators. Hence, we designed a 90kW solid-state amplifier with an extreme low-loss TE011 mode cavity (Q0=100, 000) power-combiner operated at 476 MHz and a 6 us pulse width. Developing this amplifier is for replacement of an IOT rf amplifier, at the X-ray free-electron laser, SACLA. In SACLA, highly RF phase and amplitude stabilities of less than 0.02 deg. and 10-4 in rms are necessary to stable lasing within a 10 % intensity fluctuation. The amplifier comprises a drive amplifier, a reentrant cavity rf power divider, 100 final amplifiers with a 1 kW output each and a TE011 mode cavity combiner. Water-cooling within 10 mK and a DC power supply with a noise of less than -100 dBV at 10 Hz for the amplifier is necessary to realize the previously mentioned stabilities. Based on the test results of the amplifier, the above-mentioned specifications with the extreme low-loss are promising. The amplifier also allows us to operate in pulsed and CW rfs for linacs and ring accelerators. We report the performance of the 90kW amplifier.

  The capacitor-charging power supplies (CCPSs) for the klystron modulators have been developed from 2002 in the SuperKEKB injector linac. The specifications are that the output voltage is 43kV, the charging power is 30kJ/s, and the output voltage stability is 0.2%p-p. Being used in the old facility, their sizes are restricted in 480mm x 680 mm x 760mm. After various modifications, the 13 CCPSs in the linac have been operated with no fault since last October. The present status of the CCPSs, including the outlines, specifications, and the modifications against the faults, are described.

  The injector linear accelerator (linac) for the SuperKEKB particle accelerator requires a higher efficiency klystron than the currently used 50 MW, S-band, pulsed unit (PV3050/E3730), which operates at the same voltage, to increase the power redundancy. The efficiency is expected to improve from the currently observed 45% to more than 60%. We propose a type of high efficiency klystron using novel bunching mechanisms. The 1-D disk model based code is used for preliminary optimization of the tube parameters; these parameters are further checked by 2-D codes known as field charge interaction (FCI) and MAGIC. In this paper, the design consideration of the high efficiency klystron is presented.

  KEK has conducted a survey to select an optimum ceramic after withdrawal by a domestic manufacturing company two years ago. For this selection, there are four important items on the properties of ceramic; that is, relative permittivity, dielectric loss tangent, surface and volume resistance, and secondary electron emission coefficient. For measurements of these parameters, five kinds of ceramic samples supplied from three companies were measured using three kinds of measurement systems. For measurement of secondary electron emission, scanning electron microscope (SEM) with beam blanking system was used. On the other hand, residual resistivity ratio (RRR) for copper plating, which is the most important item for quality control, has also been carried out while changing plating thickness and acid temperature. In this report, the recent results for these studies will be presented in detailed.

The cavity, output power antenna and coupling door-nob have been optimized by using CST Studio. Testing results have shown that the resonance frequency and output power have met the requirements, and the efficiency of the magnetron is higher that 78.45%.

  A high power and high efficiency klystron of the 650MHz, 800kW CW klystron for the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is designed and developed at IHEP. This paper presents the design and simulation for the high power coaxial window for it. Plan of the hot test (high power testing before installing to the klystron) are also described. Simulation software of CST, ANSYS and Multipac 2.1 are used for design of window microwave structure, thermal analysis and multipacting effects. We obtained the good simulation results successively; the coaxial window S-parameter analysis, has revealed a low reflection at the operating frequency of 650 MHz. The thermal simulation shows a good temperature distribution under the cw 800kW propagation; maximum temperature has been found to be 33 °C at ceramic with water cooling in the inner and outer conductor. The multipacting at the window is possible source of the failure and it is shown that multipacting has less chance to be happened on the surface of ceramic.

In order to increase the lifetime of MOSFET and meet the requirements of every parameters, Drain voltage and quiescent current is set at a better point with a well-designed heat dissipation structure, we make the solid state amplifier stable in performance. Taking the microwave leakage into account, the chassis structure is optimized and designed, and the microwave absorption device is adopted to make the structure compact, protect other parts not affected by the microwave leakage. After the assembly is completed, the working parameters meet the design requirements very well. The MOSFET flange temperature and output parameters meet the design requirements.

  The upcoming demands of the future research programs at GSI exceed the technical opportunities of the existing UNIversal Linear ACcelerator (UNILAC). Besides, the machine will be exclusively used as an injector for FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) providing high power heavy ion beams at a low repetition rate for injection into the synchrotron. A new dedicated superconducting (sc) continuous wave (cw) Linac is crucial to keep the research program competitive. The first part of the cw-linac, comprising a 217 MHz multi gap Crossbar-H-mode (CH) cavity surrounded by two sc solenoids inside a cryostat, already served as a prototype demonstrating reliable operability in a realistic accelerator environment. A sufficient high power RF-coupling concept is needed to feed this newly developed cw-RF cavity with up to 5 kW of RF-power. A high power coupler test stand was recently built to provide for a testing environment; further upgrade measures of this test area are foreseen. This contribution deals with the recent coupler R&D for the demonstrator set up. Besides simulations of thermal losses at the coupler (inside the RF-cavity) will be shown as well.
