The SSC RFQ-DTL matching section buncher cavities

The RFQ-DTL matching section of the SSCL Linear Accelerator matches the 2.5 MeV H/sup -/ beam from the RFQ into the acceptance of the 70 Mev Drift Tube Linac (DTL). To provide longitudinal phase space tuning, two RF buncher cavities with a resonant frequency of 427.617 MHz and with a maximum E/sub 0/TL of 160 kV are required. To meet the limited space requirements, it was decided to use double gap buncher cavities.<
