Status and specifications of a Project X front-end accelerator test facility at Fermilab
This paper describes the construction and operational status of an
accelerator test facility for Project X. The purpose of this facility is for
Project X component development activities that benefit from beam tests and any
development activities that require 325 MHz or 650 MHz RF power. It presently
includes an H- beam line, a 325 MHz superconducting cavity test facility, a 325
MHz (pulsed) RF power source, and a 650 MHz (CW) RF power source. The paper
also discusses some specific Project X components that will be tested in the
facility.Comment: 3 pp. Particle Accelerator, 24th Conference (PAC'11) 2011. 28 Mar - 1

DESIGN AND HIGH POWER TESTING OF 52.809 MHZ RF CAVITIES FOR SLIP STACKING IN THE FERMILAB RECYCLER*
Abstract For NOvA and future experiments requiring high intensity proton beams, Fermilab is in the process of upgrading the existing accelerator complex for increased proton production. One such improvement is to reduce the Main Injector cycle time, by performing slip stacking, previously done in the Main Injector, in the now repurposed Recycler Ring. Recycler slip stacking requires two new RF cavities operating at slightly different frequencies (df = 1260Hz). These are copper, coaxial, quarter wave cavities with R/Q =13 ohms. They operate at a peak gap voltage of 150 kV with 150 kW peak drive power (60% duty factor), and are resonant at 52.809 MHz with a 10 kHz tuning range. Two have been completed and installed. The design, high power test results, and status of the cavities are presented

A fast chopper for the Fermilab High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS)
A fast chopper capable of kicking single 2.5 MeV H-bunches spaced at 325 MHz, at rates greater than 50 MHz is needed for the Fermilab High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS) [1]. Four 1.2 kV fast pulsers, designed and manufactured by Kentech Instruments Ltd., will drive a 0.5 m long meander made from a copper plated ceramic composite. Test results showing pulses from the first 1.2 kV pulser and meander results will be presented
