2. PIP Report F.G. Garcia AEM - PIP Report 11/04/2013

3.  Modulator Upgrade  35kV, Marx-topology modulator to drive  AD/EE complete testing with 3 cells  Full capability (900V - 100 A)  AD/EE Working on building 9 cells Marx Modulator  Cells will be mounted on their back with a stripline making the electrical path between cells  SLAC  Design based on ILC Modulator  Develop a learning control system Linac 200 MHz RF Power System F.G. Garcia AEM - PIP Report 11/04/2013 output current output voltage (3 cells) output voltage (1 cell) triode (or SBK) Two cells on the final configuration as an example

4. Linac 200 MHz RF Power System  MBK201 FERMI  Complication during contract negotiations  Re-evaluation of the technical design F.G. Garcia AEM - PIP Report 11/04/2013  SBK201FERMI  5MW pulsed klystron to operate at 200 MHz for use as a power source for the DTL Linac  Bid closed 11/1/2013  Single bidder -> CPI  Activities  Initiate gallery floor plan layout in collaboration with AD/MSD Drafter Dept.

5. Booster RF system  New cavities  Efforts continue on developing a model of the existing Booster cavity  Full 3D model with most of the details incorporated F.G. Garcia AEM - PIP Report 11/04/2013  3D EM simulations  Identified weak points of max electric field in air and vacuum  A modified/improved design has been under development  PIP plan is to build 3 more cavities  New ferrite cores  Procurement of new ferrite cores underway  High-mu ferrite proved to be a complicate process  Working with vendor to get the recipe at acceptable performance

6. Booster RF system  Cavities Refurbishment  9 of 19 cavities have been refurbished F.G. Garcia AEM - PIP Report 11/04/2013 Booster Cavity Work Refurbished (15Hz) Cavity Removed Stats: Last refurbishment : 7. 4 * wks last 3 cav. : 9.0 wks * Cones and tuners were available Courtesy: K.
