Design of RF Power System for CPHS

The Compact Pulsed Hadron Source (CPHS) system has been proposed and designed by the Department of Engineering Physics of Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. It consists of an accelerator front-end—a highintensity ion source, a 3 MeV radiofrequency quadrupole linac (RFQ), and a 13 MeV drift-tube linac (DTL), a neutron target station, and some experimental stations. In design of our RF power supply, both RFQ and DTL share a single klystron which is capable of 2.5 MW peak RF power and a 3.33% duty factor. The 325 MHz klystron contains a modulating anode and has a 100 kW average output power. Portions of the RF power system, such as pulsed high voltage power supply, modulator, crowbar protection and RF power transmission are all presented in details in this paper.
