Abstract :
Through the use of existing RF coaxial waveguides, and additional installation of phase reference cables and monitoring equipment, a stable RF distribution for the SLC (Stanford Linear Collider) has been achieved. With the use of interferometry as part of an active feedback, and using phase and amplitude detectors to keep all RF devices correctly phased, the long-term stability of the Stanford Linear Accelerator seems to just meet the needs and requirements of the SLC. Higher frequencies, longer distances, and lower emittance specifications require that the next generation of engineers produce an accelerator with an intrinsically more stable RF distribution system
