Abstract

This paper describes DTI´s progress in the design of the power electronics supporting the sheet beam klystron development at SLAC. The power electronics include a 500 kV multiplier power supply, a 10 kV grid modulator, a multiconcentric high voltage cable and an advanced, reentrant interface between the cable and the klystron. The design allows the klystron to be located adjacent to the beamline, and separated from the power electronics. The system is potentially very low cost, very high efficiency, and highly reliable and maintainable
