  • Abstract
    The new concept of accelerator technology developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory, AT-Division, is presented. The modulator is driven on/off by RF switching power supply to achieve 1-MW RF accelerator energy from the klystron and klystrode at 850 MHz. The advantages are: (1) system cost savings up to 70%, (2) operating cost savings up to 60%, (3) weight reduction from 24000 lbs to 700 lbs, (4) size reduction from 512 to 12 ft3 and (5) efficiency improved from 75% to 97%
