The Spallation Neutron Source Linac utilizes normal conducting RF cavities in the low energy section from 2.5 MeV to 186 MeV. Six Drift Tube Linac (DTL) structures accelerate the beam to 87 MeV, and four Coupled Cavity Linac (CCL) structures provide further acceleration to 186 MeV. The remainder of the Linac is comprised of 81 superconducting cavities packaged in 23 cryomodules to provide a final beam energy of approximately 1 GeV. The superconducting Linac has proven to be substantially more reliable than the normal conducting Linac despite the greater number of stations and the complexity associated with the cryogenic plant and distribution. A conceptual design has been initiated on a replacement of the DTL and CCL with superconducting RF cavities. The motivation, constraints, and conceptual design are presented.

  Supratech is a facility at CEA/Saclay that enables tests on superconducting and high power RF components for particle accelerators. The facility comprises a home-made hard tube HV modulator powering up to 95kV-20A at 2.1ms/50Hz and a 700MHz pulsed klystron developed by CPI able to produce RF up to 1MW-2ms/50Hz. A new compact HV and RF interlock system including klystron HV diagnostics has been implemented on Supratech test facility. This paper describes in more detail the klystron interlock system and the results of the first tests.
