High power RF tests of 433 MHz single-cell accelerator cavities and associated feed system

The authors describe an accelerator module consisting of four single-cell accelerator cavities powered through the WR 1800 waveguide by a single Thomson-CSF Model 2120 klystron at 433 MHz, for use in the Boeing Modular Components Technology Development electron linac (MCTD). They discuss planned peak and average accelerating field limitation tests and report on the status of the testing program.<
