Analysis and modelling of improved accelerating cavities for the recirculating linear accelerator (RLA)
Concerns about energy spreads due to degradation of 1.1-MV, 34-ns duration accelerating cavity repeating pulse shapes have resulted in improving the 24-switch trigger system for the ET-2 cavity, and identifying critical factors in the cavity design that affect the pulse shape. The authors summarize the improvements (completed and proposed) for the existing ET-2 cavity and the status of the design analysis and modeling of accelerating cavities. A relativistic electron beam (REB) injector for the RLA is being installed which will provide a higher amplitude
