Simulation Studies of the Final Power Amplifier and Coupler in the Recirculating Coaxial Resonator Cavity Electron Accelerator

  • 摘要: 同轴腔电子加速器是工业辐照加工用重入式电子加速器,其RF功率传输系统中,末级功率放大器采用TH781四极管,阳极输出腔通过同轴耦合器与加速腔直接相连。本文基于CST微波工作室,对该加速器功率源系统的末级功率放大器进行仿真优化,明确了输出腔短路面最优高度;针对10 MeV(单耦合器布局)和40 MeV(三耦合器布局)两种能量机型,优化得到使RF功率高效馈入的耦合器最优位置及临界/过耦合状态下的耦合环旋转角度。同时开展耦合器二次电子效应仿真,发现陶瓷窗在0 ~ 9.2 kW功率范围内二次电子产额(SEY)小于1,满负荷200 kW工况下SEY仅为0.997,无损坏风险,且明确了二次电子倍增易发生的位置与RF功率范围。研究结果为该类加速器的设计、安装调试及实际运行提供了关键技术参考。

     

    Abstract: The Recirculating Coaxial Resonator Cavity Electron Accelerator is a reentrant electron accelerator mainly used for industrial irradiation processing. In its radio frequency (RF) power transmission system, the final-stage power amplifier utilizes a TH781 tetrode, and the amplifier’s anode output cavity is directly connected to the acceleration cavity via a coaxial coupler. Based on CST Microwave Studio, this paper systematically conducts simulation optimization on the final-stage power amplifier of the accelerator’s power source system, determining the optimal height of the adjustable short-circuit surface of the output cavity. For two accelerators with different energy levels (10 MeV with a single-coupler layout and 40 MeV with a three-coupler layout), the optimal coupler parameters enabling efficient RF power feeding into the cavity are obtained, including the optimal coupler position and the optimal rotation angle of the coupling loop under critical and over-coupling conditions. Additionally, simulations of the secondary electron effect in the coaxial coupler are carried out, identifying the locations prone to secondary electron multiplication and the corresponding RF power range. The results show that the secondary electron yield (SEY) of the ceramic window is less than 1 within the power range of 0 ~ 9.2 kW, and only 0.997 under the full-load condition of 200 kW, presenting no risk of damage. This research provides key technical references for the design, installation, commissioning, and practical operation of this type of accelerator.
