Abstract:
1. A system for controlling a particle accelerating device comprising a: a plurality of klystrons for generating RF power to be used by the particle accelerating device; and a plurality of delivery systems for delivering the RF power from the plurality of klystrons to a plurality of superconducting cavities, each delivery system further comprising: a circulator which receives the RF power, wherein the circulator is operatively coupled to one of the plurality of klystrons; a ferroelectric phase shift controller which receives the RF power from the circulator, and modifies at least one of a plurality of characteristics of the RF power, the ferroelectric phase shift controller having a plurality of superconducting cavities operatively coupled to the waveguide transformer, wherein the plurality of superconducting cavities accelerate particles in the particle accelerating device.
