Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

The Fermilab Linac has been operating at 200 MeV since 1971 and was upgraded to 400 MeV in 1993 with a peak current of /spl sim/35 mA. The injector consists of a Haefely Cockcroft-Walton, H/sup -/ source, an high gradient accelerating column (750 kV), 4 and 10 meter long transfer lines and a single gap 201.24 MHz cavity. The performance of the injector has been very gratifying although some tuning must be done approximately daily. The purpose of this report is to present representative experimental data and numerical simulations that are used as a guide for improvements to the Fermilab Linac. Today, the Fermilab Linac delivers a 400 MeV H/sup -/ beam with a peak current over 45 mA.
