Description

This paper discusses the types of faults seen by the 805MHz CCL (side Coupled Cavity Linac) high power Los Alamos Neutron Science Center RF klystron-modulator system. Failures leading to beam down time are tracked across various years and underlying failure causes leading to these high-power RF issues are discussed. The biggest culprits causing significant downtime from the klystron and the modulator side are identified and solutions to address these issues are discussed.
