The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) beam-based acceleration baseline uses high-gradient travelling wave accelerating structures at a frequency of 12 GHz. In order to prove the performance of these structures at high peak power and short pulse width RF, two klystron-based test facilities will been put in operation this year. The first Southern Hemisphere X-band Laboratory for Accelerators and...
Intelligent robotic systems are becoming essential for inspection, maintenance, and repair tasks, both for the validation of systems before installation as well as during operation. Aiming to increase personnel safety and machine availability, robots can perform repetitive or dangerous tasks that humans either prefer to avoid or are unable to complete due to hazards, size or access...
Sparks in TRIUMF's main cyclotron have to dissipate a lot of energy due to the large volume of the RF cavity, causing a trip of the system, resulting in down time of the machine and provide a risk of damaging the system if not reacted to immediately. A spark detection system evaluating the rate of change of the reversed power signal within the cyclotron when a spark occurs is employed but can...
