Abstract :
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is undergoing an effort to upgrade the 201 MHz Proton Source system. One subset of this upgrade is addressing the triode modulator reliability and performance issues. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory proposes a Marx-topology modulator to replace the existing system. This paper presents the system design of this modulator, the SLAC F1 Marx.
