Description

This paper describes the testing procedure for LANSCE 805 MHz klystrons and describes the current klystron test facility. The 1.25 MW klystrons used for powering LANSCE CCL (side Coupled Cavity Linac) are tested during first installation or after a fault in the modulator system. This klystron testing process is expert dependent and typically takes longer than 1 month to execute. The klystron test facility is used to execute this klystron testing and has various systems in place to diagnose and troubleshoot any issues that arise. LANSCE klystron testing is undergoing various improvements, and the goal of this paper is to point out some of the intricacies in the previously established system.
