Abstract

AmPS (Amsterdam pulse stretcher) is a 900-MeV electron stretcher and storage ring. To compensate for the synchrotron radiation losses and to control the injection and extraction process in the ring a continuous-wave (CW) RF source will be installed. The source will operate at 2856 MHz. This frequency has been chosen to ensure optimal beam capture of the injected beam from the linac, which has a 2856-MHz bunch structure. The RF cavity in the ring is a 40-cm-long slow wave structure. The filling time of the structure is 22 ns. During the three-turn injection and the directly consecutive extraction cycle, fast amplitude and phase modulation will be applied to obtain maximum injection and extraction efficiency. The required RF cavity input power is 30 kW for a circulating beam of 900 MeV and 200 mA. This power will be delivered by a commercially available 50-kW CW klystron. The source will either operate in linear or saturated mode.<>
