Applying Superconducting Magnet Technology for High-Efficiency Klystrons in Particle Accelerator RF Systems

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

An MgB2 superconducting solenoid magnet has been developed for electron beam focusing in X-band (12 GHz) klystrons for particle accelerator RF systems, to provide a central field of 0.8 T at 57 A and at ≥20 K. It has successfully realized significant AC-plug power saving in one order of magnitude compared with that for a conventional Cu solenoid magnet. The large-scale application may be expected for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) project proposed as a future accelerator candidate at CERN. It requires ~5,000 klystrons, and the MgB2 magnet application will realize significant AC-plug power saving. This paper describes progress in a prototype MgB2 superconducting solenoid magnet development and discusses the future prospect.
