Increasing the current, beam lifetime and, the quality of dynamic properties of the stored electron beam in the storage ring are the important purposes of synchrotrons. One of the phenomena affecting the beam quality is the longitudinal and transverse instabilities that increase as the beam current increases. Longitudinal instability in radiofrequency cavities has the greatest impact due to the high-quality factor of their higher order modes. As a result of these modes, one electron bunch affects the next one and it has a long-range nature. Longitudinal instabilities increase the energy spread and lead to loss of the beam current and reduce the intensity of the output synchrotron radiation. Considering the current and emittance of the Iranian light source which is 400 mA and 270 picometer-radian in the final phase of project, it is important to evaluate the higher order modes and identify the most effective ones. Simulation studies using CST Studio Suit software show that there are 13 monopole modes up to 1500 MHz in the project's 100 MHz radio frequency cavity. Seven modes are dangerous, and two modes at frequencies of 624.67 and 1432.55 MHz, with shunt impedances of 70.8 and 115 kHz, are very effective and must be dealt with in all phases of commissioning.

The main purpose for designing and constructing electroradio frequency linear accelerators is to reach better beam quality with higher power and energy by lower RF power consumption. The main step for this purpose is doing research and development in the area of designing, constructing, measuring and tuning of accelerator RF cavities. Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM) linear accelerator projecta is the first Iranian project for construction of electrolinear accelerator. In this paper, a brief introduction to construction procedure has been given. Then, the measurement and tuning of a disk-loaded periodic structure before and after tuning was reported. In addition, the detailed design and measurement setup for electric field measurement by perturbation method was investigated

Increasing klystron tubes' efficiency is essential in developing new-generation colliders and free-electron lasers. Different factors can affect the efficiency of a multi-beam klystron. One of the significant factors is the electric field symmetry inside cavities, especially in the output section. In this research, two different types of couplers are investigated in the extraction cavity of a 40-beam klystron. The first approach is a single slot coupler, which is frequently utilized and easier to fabricate but disturbs the electric field symmetry inside the extraction cavity. The second method has a more complex structure with symmetric electric fields. In this design, the coupler consists of 28 mini slots on the inner wall of the coaxial extraction cavity. Both designs are evaluated via particle in cell simulations, and the results exhibit around 30% more power extracted from the structure with a symmetric field distribution. The symmetric structures can also decrease the number of back-streamed particles by up to 70%., (© 2023 Author(s). Published under an exclusive license by AIP Publishing.)
