Control system by the technological electron linac KUT-20

Abstract

The high-power technological electron linac KUT-20 was developed at the Science Research Complex “Accelerator” of NSC KIPT. The linac consists of two 1.2 m length accelerating structures with a variable geometry and an injector. The latter comprises a diode electron gun, a klystron type buncher and an accelerating cavity. With a RF supply power at accelerating structure entries of 11 MW and with a current at the accelerator exit of 1 A, the beam energy will be up to 20 MeV. An average beam power is planned to be 20 kW [1]. All systems of the accelerator are controlled by a computerised control system. The program & technical complex consist of PC equipped with fast ADC, control console, synchronization unit, microprocessor-operated complexes.
