Abstract:The Next Generation Linear Collider (NLC) represents a significant challenge for high voltage modulator technology. The 3200 X-band klystrons that provide RF for the accelerator require 500kV, 265A, and pulses of 1-5µs. Given the large number of klystron modulators required, small improvements in modulator efficiency, reliability, and maintainability have significant life-cycle cost impacts.In 1999, Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) was awarded three Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants from the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
