Abstract :
The last 64 m of the Fermilab Linear Accelerator will be replaced with seven new, higher-frequency, higher-field accelerator sections. Each section will be powered by a single 12-MW, 805-MHz klystron. A feedback system which controls the amplitude and phase of the RF fields within the individual accelerator sections is described. To understand the control loops and to optimize their design, ACSL (Advanced Computer Simulation Language) has been utilized
