Accelerating System for the Cornell 10 GeV Electron Synchrotron

A system consisting of four lengths of iris loaded waveguide, each driven by an adjacent klystron amplifier, is described. These waveguides which serve as the accelerating elements for a 10 GeV electron synchrotron are operated in the 2π/3 traveling wave mode at 714 MHz. The amplifiers have a common power supply and are driven from a common source which can be synchronized with the injector, a 150 MeV linac.
