Description
This paper describes the existing procedure for LANSCE 805 MHz klystrons testing and evaluation and realized avenues for improvement. Each of the 1.25 MW klystrons used for powering LANSCE CCL (side Coupled Cavity Linac) are tested during first installation or fol-lowing a fault in operations. Executed testing process includes high potting, pulsing, and full power RF testing. Generated testing data is used for evaluation and certifi-cation of spare units for the linac. In this paper, we hope to breakdown this expert-dependent, lengthy 1–2 month process and examine improvements which can accelerate time to evaluation. The goal of this paper is to fully cap-ture the current procedures and investigate improvements to modernize our legacy systems and processes.
