TITLE: Development of a Smart Modulator and its Application to XFEL project
CONTACT: Hiroshi Matsumoto
LANGUAGE: English
ABSTRACT: A smart modulator has been developed using a constant-current inverter power supply in order to meet the linear collider requirements such as high reliability, compact and simple configuration, and good power efficiency. The smart modulator provides 350-kV pulses of the pulse-to-pulse stability of 0.35%. A more compact closed-type smart modulator for the SCSS X-FEL has beam developed, of which all the parts are immersed in an oil-filled tank. In order to provide useful X-FEL output, the RF stability has to be improved at least 10 times more. The charging stability is the major factor determining the RF stability. Therefore, the inverter system should provide very stable charging performances. This talk presents the R&D for a stable smart modulator with an inverter power supply.
