TWO YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH THE UPGRADED ELBE RF-SYSTEM DRIVEN BY 20 kW SOLID STATE AMPLIFIER BLOCKS (SSPA)

摘要

Since January 2012 the Superconducting 1.3 GHz CW Linac ELBE is equipped and in permanent operation with four 20 kW Solid State Amplifier Blocks (SSPA). The project and the design of the new RF system have been described in the papers [1] and. The experience gained within the first two years of operation is encouraging.
