REAL ESTATE PRICE vs. the SIZE OF LINEAR ACCELERATORS

If the driving frequency is 3 GHz Final energy - 1 TeV Accelerating Gradient – 35 MeV/m Facility Length – 30 km Number of RF drivers - 4000 Who is going to give us that much land where people would like

to work and live?! If we would like to reach: Final energy - 50 TeV Accelerating Gradient – 50 MeV/m(probably possible @11GHz) Facility Length – 1000 km Number of RF Drivers – Who knows!?

HIGHER FREQUENCYWOULD BE A SOLUTION

The choice of the driver’s frequency depends on:

1. The type of operation – pulsed hot structure

2. The accelerating gradient – up to 300 MeV/m if possible

3. The existing RF sources – how reliable and efficient they are – the efficiency at least 50 %

DIFICULTIES and CHALANGES

1. Realization of High-Power RF Sources with stable amplitude and phase

2. Complicate design and fabrication

3. Limited experimental track record

High-Frequency, Low & Mid Power, Long-Pulse Sources

1.Gyroklystron – 94 GHz, 10KW average power

2.Gyro-TWT – from 60 to 90 GHz, several kW RF Power (both operate as amplifiers)

3.Klystron – 100-500 kW, ms range, at 6-8 GHz

4.Low-Power, Long-Pulse, High-Efficiency Gyrotron –

1 MW, 1s pulse, cylindrical, Quasioptical and coaxial oscillator

5.Low-Power, High-Efficiency Cyclotron

6.Autoresonance Maser – from 100-400GHz, 1MW, @several ms. Operates as an amplifier and an oscillator, as well.

Low-Frequency, Short-Pulse, High-Power Sources

1.Klystron (amplifier)– up to 3, 5 and 11 GHz, 50 MW

2.Gyroklystron (amplifier)– 17GHz, 10 MW, 34 GHz, several MW, projects

3.Magnicon (amplifier)– 11 GHz , 50 MW

4.Free electron laser- 17 GHz, 20 MW, Oscillator version

1. Design and fabrication of 1 MW, 250 GHz, Long Pulse, RF Amplifier

2. Design and fabrication of efficient pulse compressor3. Design and fabrication of Short RF Structure 4. Design, fabrication and test of RF

ACCELERATING STRUCTURE, propagating TM modes

5.Design, fabrication and test of the RF UNDULATOR, propagating TE modes

POTENTIAL ADVANTAJES

1. High efficiency due to “auto-resonant” compensation

2. Comparable efficiency with klystrons and more stable against the excitation of parasitic modes

3. Operation far from cutoff should reduce fields at cavity walls

4. Operation at lower values of magnetic field.

POSSIBLE OBSTACLESI) Difficulty in making mode-selective high-kz

cavities (quasioptical or Bragg reflector cavities required)

ii) Requirement for a very low axial velocity spread (e.g., Δpz/pz < 1%)

iii) Stability of gyrotron and gyro-BWO modes (if waveguide cavity is used)

iiii) limited experimental track record, consisting mostly of short-pulse, high-voltage, and high-current oscillators
