  1. Neutrino Factory Workshop, IOP, 28th October 2003 RF Systems David M Wilcox

  2. Summary • Purpose • Who needs whom? • The RF System • Components of the RF system • Benefits • Questions

  3. Purpose • To ensure that UK industry becomes fully engaged in the UKNF project • Increase the credibility of the UK as a site for the machine by creating a strong and expert manufacturing base • To ensure that the UK benefits fully from the construction of the Neutrino Factory • To encourage innovation by firing the enthusiasm and imagination of engineers • To encourage technical networking between world class scientists and world class UK companies.

  4. Who needs whom? The UKNF project needs your • input of industrial know-how right from the start • routine contribution to reality and feasibility checks The UK NF project represents to industry • a great technology driver in many subjects • an opportunity for large, medium and small companies • the chance to contribute manufacturing knowledge and skills to a remarkable engineering endeavour

  5. The RF system An RF system in this analysis includes:- • Everything from the isolator in the local 3-phase supply up to and including the accelerating cavities. • The interlocking and protection circuitry • The local control system and the provision of control data to the central control system

  6. RF System Cartoon

  7. Connection to 3-phase supply Standard high quality power distribution components ………..but must not be overlooked!!

  8. AC to DC conversion and fast protection • High efficiency • Small size • Low noise • Good power factor • Low stored energy • Fast switch-off

  9. Main RF Power Source • Klystron • Gyro-device • Magnetron • IOT • Tetrode Focus magnets Piece part manufacture External cavity resonators

  10. RF driver and ancilliary power supplies • RF driver – high stability, linear, narrow band 100W upwards • Heater psu – low voltage medium DC current isolated to high voltage • Ion pump psu – high impedance 5 kV 10 :A 3 kV 1.5 mA • Magnet psu – low voltage medium current

  11. RF output window and waveguide transition RF window and output transition designed as a matched unit • Specialised RF design • Specialised ceramic manufacture • Precision mechanical construction

  12. Circulator and power measurement • High power circulator • Directional couplers • Arc detectors • High power RF load

  13. Splitters and combiners Type • ‘Magic T’ • Wilkinson • Gysel • Resonant cavity Operating environment • Short pulse > 50 MW, 5:s, X-band • Long pulse > 10 MW, 2ms, L-band • CW > 1 MW, HF to L-band

  14. RF cavities, RF windows and couplers Room temperature RF cavities • OFHC cavity construction • RF input couplers • Couplers for harmonic loading • High power RF windows Superconducting RF cavities • Niobium or niobium coated OFHC • Semiconductor standards of cleanliness • High mechanical stability • Cryostat technology • RF input couplers with high thermal gradient • High power RF windows

  15. Control system • Fault monitoring and fast protection system • Safety interlock system • Power stabilisation via local feedback • Data monitoring and processing system • Data transmission to central control • Data receive system from central control • Power adjustment by central control system

  16. Installation • Services – water, HP air etc. • Cabling • Wiring • Testing • Commissioning
