Abstract

The high power RF system for the PEFP 20MeV proton accelerator composed of the 3MeV RFQ and the 20MeV DTL has been installed. The klystron for the RFQ was tested up to 600kW and operated routinely to drive the RFQ in a pulse mode operation. The klystron for the DTL which consists of 4 tanks was tested up to 800kW in pulse mode operation. The pulse width and repetition rate was 50${\mu}s$ and 1Hz respectively. The high power RF system has been operated to drive each accelerating structure and will be used to accelerate 20MeV proton beam.
