High Power X-Band RF Test Stand Development and High Power Testing of the CLIC Crab Cavity High Power X-band RF Test Stand Development and High Power Testing of the CLIC Crab Cavity Benjamin J. Woolley This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2015 Abstract This thesis describes the development and operation of multiple high power X-band RF test facilities for high gradient acceleration and deflecting structures at CERN, as re- quired for the e+ e- collider research programme CLIC (Compact Linear Collider). Signif- icant improvements to the control system and operation of the first test stand, Xbox-1 are implemented. The development of the second X-band test stand at CERN, Xbox-2 is followed from inception to completion. The LLRF (Low Level Radio Frequency) system, interlock system and control algorithms are designed and validated. The third test stand at CERN, Xbox-3 is introduced and designs for the LLRF and control systems are pre- sented. The first of the modulator/klystron units from Toshiba and Scandinova is tested. CLIC will require crab cavities to align the bunches in order to provide effective head- on collisions. An X-band travelling wave cavity using a quasi-TM11 mode for deflection has been designed, manufactured and tested at the Xbox-2 high power test stand. The cavity reached an input power level in excess of 50 MW, at pulse widths of 150 ns with a measured breakdown rate (BDR) of better than 10 -5 breakdowns per pulse (BDs/pulse). At the nominal pulse width of 200 ns, the cavity reached an input power level of 43 MW with a BDR of 10-6 BDs/pulse. These parameters are well above the nominal design pa- rameters of an input power of 13.35 MW with a 200 ns pulse length. This work also de- scribes surface field quantities which are important in assessing the expected BDR when designing high gradient structures. i Acknowledgements I would like to thank Amos Dexter for his supervision and for giving me the oppo r- tunity to partake in this PhD. I would also like to thank those others at Lancaster Uni- versity who have provided guidance including Graeme Burt, Praveen Ambattu and Shokrollah Karimian. In particular to Graeme and Praveen, who designed such an inter- esting cavity forming the basis of much of the work presented in this thesis. My special thanks go to Igor Syratchev for his supervision during my time at CERN. His guidance and ideas always left me with many new avenues of research to pursue and much to ponder about! Thanks also to Walter Wuensch and Alexej Grudiev, whose stimulating conversations led to the development of many of the ideas presented here. Thanks to Jan Kovermann for his teaching on the operation of Xbox-1 and his ‘handing of the baton’ to me to be- come the new Xbox control system designer and operator at CERN. Also thanks to everyone who helped to make operating and designing the test stands possible including Gerard McMonagle, Alberto Degiovanni, Nuria Catalan Lasheras, Stef- fen Doebert, Andrey Olyunin, Luis Navarro, Jorge Giner Navarro and Esa Paju. Further thanks go to Joseph Tagg from National Instruments for his significant con- tribution in the programming of the PXI hardware using his vast LabVIEW expertise. I would also like to thank the LLRF experts at CERN: Stephane Rey, Luca Timeo, Heiko Damerau and Alexandra Andersson for their discussions and help with LLRF system de- signs. Thanks also to Rolf Wegner for his expertise in tuning high gradient structures and in particular his management in tuning the crab cavity. Thanks also to Wilfrid Farabolini and Robin Rajamaki for their work on the breakdown cell location algorithms and results. Thanks to Germana Riddone and Anastasia Solodko for overseeing structure production and manufacturing and providing the test stands with devices to test. Thanks to Marek Jacewicz and Roger Ruber for adding such an interesting experiment to the test stands; the dark current spectrometer.

Reinhard Lerch Gutachter: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr.-Ing. habil. Robert Weigel Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin März 2 Dedicated to my family 3 Abstract The demand for electronic control is increasing and is replacing most of the hydraulics in the automotive. Automobiles produced today have a longer life expectancy than at any time in the past. One of the strongest contributors for this is the increase in electronic equipment and systems that have replaced mechanical devices. Without proper electrical protection, however, these electronic systems in automobiles can fail without warning there by creating risk for the driver and passengers including injuries and life threat. Power semiconductor devices that are used in these electronic systems handle high currents in the order of 2A at 40V. Due to this high voltage and high current several design measures have to be considered in the design to make these circuits fault tolerant. The unintentional or inadvertent activation of the powerFETs should be avoided else it would trigger very high currents. In the light of this, the purpose of the present doctoral dissertation is set to contribute to the design of Smart Power Drivers for airbag squib driver applications.

  • Printing Photovoltaics by Electrospray Xinyan Zhao1,2 and Weiwei Deng2*
    Opto-Electronic Review Advances 2020, Vol. 3, No. 6 DOI: 10.29026/oea.2020.190038 Printing photovoltaics by electrospray Xinyan Zhao1,2 and Weiwei Deng2* Solution processible photovoltaics (PV) are poised to play an important role in scalable manufacturing of low-cost solar cells. Electrospray is uniquely suited for fabricating PVs due to its several desirable characteristics of an ideal manufac- turing process such as compatibility with roll-to-roll production processes, tunability and uniformity of droplet size, capa- bility of operating at atmospheric pressure, and negligible material waste and nano structures. This review begins with an introduction of the fundamentals and unique properties of electrospray. We put emphasis on the evaporation time and residence time that jointly affect the deposition outcome. Then we review the efforts of electrospray printing polymer solar cells, perovskite solar cells, and dye sensitized solar cells. Collectively, these results demonstrate the advantages of electrospray for solution processed PV. Electrospray has also exhibited the capability of producing uniform films as well as nanostructured and even multiscale films. So far, the electrospray has been found to improve active layer morphology, and create devices with efficiencies comparable with that of spin-coating. Finally, we discuss challenges and research opportunities that enable electrospray to become a mainstream technique for industrial scale production.

Therefore, it is mandatory to analyze the potential risk of automotive systems failure because it could have a significant impact on humans’ safety. This paper proposes a novel, functional safety concept at the power management level of a system basis chip (SBC), from the development phase to system design. In the presented case, the safety-critical application is represented by a powertrain transmission electronic control unit. A step-by-step design guideline procedure is presented, having as a focus the cost, safety, and performance to obtain a robust, cost-efficient, safe, and reliable design. To prove compliance with the ISO 26262 standard, quantitative worst-case evaluations of the hardware have been done. The assessment results qualify the proposed design with automotive safety integrity levels (ASIL, up to ASIL-D).
