ESS RF Systems Development
The RF systems work package (WP) addresses the design and development of the
RF power generation, control and distribution for the ESS proton linac.
Specific for the ESS proton linac, in relation to other proton linacs, is the
high power level required. The RF system, that has to generate this power and
distribute it to the accelerating cavities, is a main resource driver for linear
accelerators in form of investment, operation and maintenance resources such as
material, electricity and manpower. Therefore the focus is on R&D that will
decrease investment, operation and maintenance resources required for the RF
system without compromising its reliability. R&D to improve the overall energy
efficiency has the main priority.
