Description
In March 2024 work began at Daresbury Laboratory on conditioning CLARA’s (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications) radio-frequency (RF) structures using the proprietary automated RF conditioning software, NO-ARC (No Operator Automated RF Conditioner) to attain operational powers and pulse lengths. The five types of structure conditioned were; an S-Band standing wave photo-injector (PI), four S-band travelling wave linacs; and S-Band standing wave transverse deflecting cavity (TDC); an X-band travelling wave lineariser and vacuum waveguides at both S- and X-band. Here we present the conditioning progress for each structure in terms of power, RF pulse length, cumulative breakdown count and number of pulses. Key features are highlighted and discussed, along with RF conditioning strategies.
