B921 cross-section showing available elevation with respect to cable trays and ceiling

Commercially available Modulator installation housing the SLAC XL4 klystron.

• Much better pulse stability than SLAC modulator: 30 ppm versus 100 ppm• Complete system houses klystron, magnet, oil tank and output transformer• EPICS controls interface• “turn-key” system purchase price ~$650k• LCLS motivated to evaluate this modulator for other applications e.g. L1S

• Also purchased by LLNL, Trieste, CLS, CERN …

Output from the klystron goes through a mode converter to circular waveguide for lower power loss

Fabrication and installation of waveguide components: including converters splitters, couplers, loads and vacuum components,

all based on existing SLAC X-band designs

~$365k

LLRF Phase reference– Share the low-noise 476 MHz heliax from the linac

with the beam phase monitor– Beam based feedback corrects slow drifts

Cavity

XTCAV

EPICS Controls• LLRF - (next slide)• Vacuum - status of new pumps, gauges and valves• Profile Monitor OTRDMP - present camera is only 10 Hz (upgrade?)• Feedback

– orbit at BPMUE1, BPMUE2 and BPMUE3 after the XTCAV to stabilize the RF phase of cavity and keep the bunch at the zero phase crossing

• PPS– Modulator interlocked to Access state– Review to show existing BTMs give adequate coverage

• BCS– New spoiler at end of XTCAV– Review to show existing PICs give adequate coverage

• MPS– Set threshold of MPS BLMs lower than BCS PICs

Why PPS, BCS and MPS are important• Beam at the wrong phase can be kicked by up

to 10 mrad– Lowest energy beam, highest amplitude RF, phase at

crest• Beam leaves the beam pipe within the XTCAV

already• Existing safety systems

have large acceptance angle. e.g. BTMs

LLRF EPICS Controls• Use LCLS PADs and PACs with EPICS IOC and BSA• Use either MKSU II for klystron and modulator interlocks, or

Scandinova integrated controls• In the linac CAMAC PDU still provides timing to the modulator

via the PIOP module• Consider the LLRF control system as a whole:

– The XTCAV will be the first stand-alone RF station with EPICS-only controls– There are choices of platforms on which to implement EPICS

• Linac Phase I upgrade with EPICS driver for CAMAC• Replace CAMAC modules with VME modules and EPICS timing, similar to existing EPICS architecture.• Develop a new mTCA platform

– Need to be able to this in < 2 years– The choice we make here will set a precedent for the LCLS-2 injector project
