Abstract
An intense L-band electron linear accelerator is under construction at CESC (Cheorwon Electron-beam Service Center) for industrial applications. It is capable of producing 10-MeV electron beams with 30-kW average beam power. For high-power capability, we adopted 1.3 GHz, and the RF source is a 25-MW pulsed klystron with 60-kW average RF output power. The PFN-type modulator and the matched transformer provide 264-kV beam voltage with 230-A beam current to the klystron. The RF pulse length is 7 mus, and the repetition rate is 350 Hz. The thermionic E-gun generates 80-kV electron beams with pulsed 1.6 A. The pre-buncher, a single standing-wave cavity, is used before the bunching section, which is built-in with the regular accelerating section. The accelerating structure is a disk-loaded waveguide with a constant-impedance operated in the 2pi/3-mode. It is to be operated under the fully beam-loaded condition, where the beam power is maximum. The electron beams are accelerated within 6 mus since the traveling-wave filling time of the accelerating structure is almost 0.8 mus. In this paper, we present details of the accelerator system and commissioning results.
