CTF3 highlights since last Project Meeting

The latest project meeting highlighted significant advancements in CTF3 operations. Initial setbacks due to hardware issues, primarily with modulator-klystrons, have been resolved. The established Factor 4 combination has improved transport to TBTS, which is now operating at nominal power and gradient. PETS loads installation in TBL is complete, and beam transmission is set to begin next week. A new TBTS tank with upgraded structures is anticipated for installation in August. Operational improvements continue, including successful beam tests and stability enhancements.

Presentation Transcript

  1. CTF3 highlights since last Project Meeting • Bumpy start due to several hardware problems (mainly modulator-klystrons) – now apparently solved. • Established and consolidated factor 4 combination, optimized transport to TBTS, started TBTS operation at nominal power level and gradient . Break-down kicks and BD statistic studies ongoing. • Completed installation of PETS loads in TBL, start next week to send beam in TBL. • New TBTS tank with two accelerating structures equipped with wake-field monitors ready for beginning of July. Planning to install it in CLEX from 8th August, in order to complete ongoing TBTS studies. • Got back one TWT from repair with a consolidated power supply. Now we have 2 fully operational and a 3rd with a slowly dying tube. Will decide next week to send it back to repair or use it still for some time. R. Ruber, W. Farabolini, A. Palaia

  2. Worked on DL optics and orbit, 3 GHz beam test of split/recombination –about 20% emittance growth from DL new flattening feed-back old flattening feed-back on MKS 12 CRM Line, ring MKS 11 Uncombined (2A) 75 um Combined (4A) 90 um MKS 12 P. Skowronski, B. Constance Still improving stability T. Persson, A. Dubrowski

  3. Started yesterday 1.5 GHz operation, good progress Factor 4 DL test P. Skowronski Factor 4 with 1.5 GHz beam and switches First factor 8 in 2012 !
