Description
In this paper, the design of a compact C-band SLED RF
Pulse Compressor for a Very High Electron Energy (VHEE)
FLASH machine is presented. A spherical cavity RF
pulse compressor - selected because of its compactness and
relative ease of fabrication - is adopted to compress the 5 𝜇s
RF pulse, down to 1 𝜇s obtaining a peak power gain greater
than 5. Both the RF and thermo-mechanical design have
been carried out, including a sensitivity study to evaluate
the mechanical tolerances, possible tuning methods, and the
cooling system. The main parameters of the full RF design
(spherical storage cavity + mode converter/polarizer) and
the final mechanical design of the structure are presented.
