  1. TS01 Klystron Modulator • Beam Voltage Stability Improvements Minh Nguyen May 20, 2014

  2. TS01 current modulator status • TS01 modulator has been running without PFN voltage regulation. Klystron beam voltage stability measures ~ 1000 ppm (rms) at 300kV, 120Hz • Restore existing de-Q’ing regulation chassis #1 and #2 and measure PFN voltage and beam voltage stability at various voltage levels and pulse repetition rates • 30, 33, 35, 38, and 41kV (PFN from Ross HV divider) • 240, 260, 280, 300, and 320kV (Beam voltage) • 10, 30, 60, and 120Hz

  3. Stability measuring device 7 ppm resolution

  4. TS01 stability at 120Hz PRR Stability (ppm) Beam Voltage (kV)

  5. TS01 short-term PFN/BV stability 41/320kV 38/300kV 35/280kV 33/260kV 30/240kV PRR (Hz) Stability (ppm)

  6. Motivation for TS01 improvements • Klystron beam voltage stability is mainly dependent on modulator PFN voltage stability and thyratron operating conditions • PFN voltage with original de-Q’ing regulation circuitry is stable within 120 – 150 ppm (rms) • Fine PFN voltage regulation can be achieved by the use of a low power, high frequency capacitor charger (HVPS) in conjunction with existing high power resonant charger. The HVPS charges and regulates PFN capacitor voltage - on top of the resonant voltage – up to 0.5% target voltage • Two previously upgraded modulators in the Linac 21-1 and 24-8 have shown to improve beam voltage stability to < 100 ppm

  7. Scope of TS01 modulator upgrade • Install a new 50kV TDK-Lambda HVPS to charge the PFN capacitors in parallel to existing resonant charger • Install new PFN voltage regulator chassis and Ross HV divider to provide voltage regulation for both the resonant charger and the TDK-Lambda HVPS • Install and modify other components to improve the beam voltage stability • Tail clipper to reduce klystron backswing voltage • SCR thyratron driver to provide negative bias on thyratron grid 2 • Thyratron grid drive circuit to minimize trigger rise and delay time • Replace the thyratron if necessary after assessing the performance of the upgrade

  11. Mod21-1 PFN voltage stability measurements Before Upgrade After Upgrade PFN voltage stability=739uV/8.8V= 84 ppm (rms) PFN voltage stability=106uV/8V= 13 ppm (rms) Zoom –in PFN Voltage Regulated by HVPS (50V/div) Zoom –in PFN Voltage Regulated by de-Q only (50V/div)

  12. Mod 21-1 Beam voltage stability measurements Before Upgrade AfterUpgrade BV stability: 10mV/69.9V= 143 ppm (rms) BV stability: 2.63mV/64V= 41 ppm (rms)

  13. Mod 21-1 performance after HVPS upgrade Typical PFN voltage stability in a 10-minute period

  14. Tail clipper performance Klystron backswing voltage before and after tail clipper installation Effects of thyratron random recovery on beam and PFN voltages BV scale: 50kV/div PFN volt scale: 5kV/div

  15. Thyratron grid 2 voltage after upgrade Beam voltage Trig rise time after Trig rise time before -- 75Vdc bias on grid 2 ~ 1nS time jitter

  16. TS01 upgrade schedule • TDK-Lambda 50kV HVPS purchase requires 14wks of lead time. To meet the UED@ASTA project schedule, we have to borrow/move this HVPS and other upgraded components as needed from Linac modulator 24-8
