An analog crystal filter based cavity emulator is modified with reverse biased varactor diodes to provide a tuning range of around 160 Hz. The piezo drive voltage of the resonance controller is used to detune the cavity through the bias…
PIP-II is an 800 MEV superconducting linac that is in the initial acceleration chain for the Fermilab accelerator complex. The RF system consists of a warm front-end with an ion source, RFQ and buncher cavities along with 25 superconducting…
The Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) project is an essential upgrade to Fermilab's particle accelerator complex to enable the world's most intense neutrino beam for LBNF/DUNE and a broad particle physics program for many decades to come.…
Industrial particle accelerators inherently operate in much dirtier environments than typical research accelerators. This leads to an increase in noise both in the RF system and in other electronic systems. Combined with the fact that…
The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) accelerator at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has been in service for over 50 years. Efforts to update and modernize crucial systems, many of which are origi-nal, are ongoing. This paper…
X-ray vortices carrying tunable Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) are an emerging tool for X-ray characterization technology. However, in contrast to the generation of vortex beams in the visible wavelength region, the generation of X-ray…
