Abstract

RF Test Facility (RFTF) has been constructed to support present and future needs in testing, processing and conditioning of various high power RF components of normal conducting and superconducting systems at the SNS. The facility is expected to have additional subsystems that are needed for complete superconducting RF (SRF) testing and processing. A full capacity high voltage converter modulator (HVCM) with 11 MW peak power at 8% duty cycle has been installed for driving one or two klystron RF amplifiers. The waveguides are completed in WR-2100 and WR-1150 for the 402.5 MHz and 805 MHz klystrons being used in the SNS. The 805 MHz system has been used for RF processing the coaxial fundamental power couplers (FPCs) for the SNS superconducting linac (SCL) [1]. The high power RF system can be reconfigured or modified for various tests and conditioning processes along with the neighboring cryo-plant.
