Abstract

Abstract:

Background: Due to the existence of transient beam loading effect in cavity, the energy of the bunch head is higher than the other part in 15-MeV linear accelerator (LINAC) designed for thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR) photo-neutron source. This uneven distribution of energy leads to high energy spread, thus depresses transmission efficiency of beam. Purpose: This study aims to develop a digital feedforward compensation to reduce the influence of beam loading effect and decrease energy spread of the beam. Methods: The Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) programming language VHDL (Very-High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) was used to design the feedforward module. This module was added to the original FPGA modules of low level radio frequency (LLRF) control system to cut down the intensity of head of radio frequency (RF) field. Results: The experimental test shows that the feedforward function of LLRF control system suppressed the energy spread to an ideal level and the transmission efficiency of the beam current had also been significantly improved. Conclusion: The digital feedforward method overcomes the deflection of traditional beam compensation method which malfunctions in the situation of big bunch and high beam current.
