S-Band RF System (2.856 GHz) – L0, L1, L2 and L3
L0  3 x klystrons for individual amplitude and phase control of
each accelerating section to optimize control from the RF Gun.
L1  1 x klystron feeding 3 accelerator sections.
L0 and L1 klystrons operated at ~5% below saturation to allow
sufficient feedback stability overhead.
LX  1 x XL-4 klystron feeding 1 NLC-type accelerating structure.
L2  26 x klystrons (plus 2 standby) with all but 2 operated in
saturation with no amplitude control:
2 klystrons near the end of L2 will operate unsaturated to provide
amplitude feedback at high energy.
Global phase control made with -feedback on final sector in L2 
provides precise control of the average L2 phase.
L3  45 klystrons (plus 3 standby) operated in the same mode as
L2 for amplitude and phase control. See C Rago’s Talk: RF Waveguide and Structures

Need for a X-Band RF System
The 60cm long X-band structure is used to linearize the
energy-time correlation (or gradient) across each
bunch from L0 and L1.
Operates on the negative RF crest to decelerate the
beam, reducing the non-linear components of the
correlation  more efficient compression in BC1 and
BC2!
Non-linear correlation components  CSR instabilities
in the chicanes.
Beam energy is reduced by 18 MeV, from 268 to 250
MeV.
X-band structure accelerating gradient is ~32 MeV/m.

X-Band RF Station Challenges
NLCTA have used X-Band Klystrons for many years to
power X-Band Structures.
Stability/reliability issues need to be addressed for
LCLS:
No reason to believe the XL4 phase and amplitude sensitivity to
modulator stability will be much greater than that of a 5045
klystron.
Tests must be performed to determine if the X-Band system will meet LCLS
stability requirements.
NLCTA has not run at 120 Hz:
The reliability of the tubes at 120 Hz needs to be evaluated.
NLCTA runs at 60 Hz with 1.6-s flat top pulses @ 50 MW.
LCLS requires 120 Hz with 0.1-s flat top pulses @ 21 MW.
Reliability no concern if tube run below 30 MW or if modulator
rise/fall times are reduced,  reducing the average power.

S-Band Stability
There are 9 klystrons (incl. RF Gun klystron) in the LCLS
design that will require RF feedback.
The phase and amplitude of each of the 3 klystrons in
L0 and the 5 x S-band klystrons of L1, L2 and L3 must
all be held to the stability specifications shown.
Tests show this stability can be maintained over
several seconds by the existing systems.
Beyond 2 seconds, feedback will be required to adjust
the phase and amplitude of the S-band LINAC systems.

X-Band Stability
NLCTA modulator voltage stability ~ 0.01%.
Nominal operating voltage of 350 kV  35 V variation
XL-4 phase stability vs beam voltage = 0.0033o/V
XL-4 phase stability then becomes ~ 0.12o without feedback!
L2 modulators are currently regulating to better than 0.01%!
NLCTA structure temperature tuning stability ~200
kHz/oC
Need to regulate structure temperature to 0.025oC
detuning  10 kHz
Phase variation  =  xs = 0.36o (for filling time s = 100 ns)
without feedback!
Estimate for X-band system phase stability h = 0.48o
LCLS requirement is h = 0.50o

S-Band Stability Feedback
Changes in phase or amplitude of the LINAC systems,
result in a change in energy and bunch length.
All klystrons will use the existing phase and amplitude
control systems to limit each klystron phase and
amplitude to within 10o and 2% respectively for long
term drift compensation.
Additional feedback controls will require:
Energy of the beam is measured via existing BPMs located in
high dispersion regions.
A Bunch Length Monitor (BLM): synchrotron radiation monitor,
RF cavity, or some other device to measure bunch length – risk
associated with using z as feedback parameter:

S-Band Stability Feedback (cont’d)
Not possible to get accurate measurement of the
phase in an accelerating structure as seen by the beam
from the input or output RF alone – due to the structure
temp. vs  variations.
May be possible if the input phase, output phase, and
temperature of the structures are known in L0 and L1.
These first 5 accelerating klystrons will have phase and
amplitude measurements at the input and output of the
structures:
Structures will also include thermocouples to measure
temperature fluctuations.
Without Beam-Based feedback, the above controls will
not achieve LCLS requirements for long term stability!

Conclusions
S-Band RF System:
Short term LCLS phase and amplitude stability requirements
look achievable now, but for long term stability requires
feedback.
New feedback reacts to structure input/output amplitude and
phase, global temperature variations and beam-based
parameters to control to 0.08% and 0.07o LCLS margins.
X-Band RF System:
Required for improved bunch compression.
Phase and amplitude stability requirements not as tight as the
S-band system  phase stability of 0.5o looks achievable.
120Hz operation of XL-4 klystron not proven, but providing
power is limited to <30 MW then don’t anticipate any reliability
problems.
