CIG: 9458024051 – CUP: I19C18000060001
Presso i Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati esiste una consolidata esperienza nell'utilizzo di sistemi a radiofrequenza in banda S (f ~ 3 GHz) impiegati già nel LINAC di ADONE e successivamente in quelli di DAFNE e SPARC, ed una più recente ma ugualmente solida esperienza di sistemi operanti in banda C (f ~ 6 GHz) utilizzati per l'upgrade di energia di SPARC e per l'accelerazione degli elettroni in strutture acceleranti come nella gamma-factory ELI-NP. La tecnologia RF ad oggi più avanzata è costituita dalla banda X (f ~ 12 GHz) con la quale sono stati raggiunti sperimentalmente gradienti acceleranti fino a 100 MV/m ed oltre.
All’interno del progetto LATINO, si è dotato la facility TEX di un modulatore K400 è tra i modelli di nuova concezione prodotti da ScandiNova, l’unico in grado di garantire il funzionamento con il klystron in banda X (CPI Modello VKX8311A) alla massima potenza (a tensione nominale di 370 kV) ed una stabilità di impulso sul flat- top del segnale RF prodotto in uscita inferiore ai 50ppm.
Nell'ambito delle attività collegate all'iniziativa EuPRAXIA è prevista l’acquisizione di due sorgenti RF per il consolidamento della facility TEX.
A tal fine, si è scelto di procedere all’acquisizione di un klystron in banda X – con potenza di picco di 25 MW ed alta frequenza di ripetizione di 400 Hz prodotto dalla Canon (Modello E37119) e di un klystron in banda C – con potenza di picco di 20 MW ed alta frequenza di ripetizione di 400 Hz prodotto dalla Canon (Modello E37217).

A seguito della ricognizione dell’offerta di mercato, la scelta della ditta Canon è dettata dall’unicità delle prestazioni dei klystron oggetto dell’acquisto come evidenziato dalle specifiche tecniche sottostanti.

La scelta di affidare alla società ScandiNova la fornitura delle sorgenti RF nel loro complesso è motivata dalle seguenti esigenze e condizioni di mercato:
1. Per facilitare il consolidamento della infrastruttura e ridurre tempi di posa in opera, si ritiene opportuno impiegare nella massima misura possibile gli stessi componenti e sotto-sistemi (come per esempio sistema di controllo) utilizzati all’interno dei progetti dei Laboratori Nazionale di Frascati per i quali il personale tecnico/scientifico è già formato. Modulatori RF ScandiNova sono ad oggi impiegati ed integrati nei sistemi delle facility SPARC e TEX del laboratorio.
2. Date le caratteristiche competitive dei klystron sopra descritti, la scelta di affidare alla ditta ScandiNova la fornitura di sorgenti complete “chiavi in mano” consente la verifica delle prestazioni dei klystron a potenza nominale durante i test di accettazione in fabbrica (FAT) sotto responsabilità della ditta stessa senza gravare sulla garanzia del klystron per l’INFN.
3. Le caratteristiche dimensionali richieste (minori di 2 m x 1,5 m) per allocare le due sorgenti RF presso la facility TEX, come mostrato nella seguente planimetria, sono state valutate in modo tale da: minimizzare il percorso del sistema di guide d’onda fino al bunker schermato; ottimizzare la distribuzione di potenza RF; consentire le operazioni di manutenzione e le vie di fuga dell’area.
Alla luce di queste valutazioni e considerate le offerte disponibili sul mercato, la ditta ScandiNova risulta essere l’unica possibile fornitrice di Modulatori compatti per gli ingombri richiesti.
4. La duplicazione di un sistema già esistente e ben funzionante è ritenuta la migliore garanzia in tal senso, perché consente di beneficiare al meglio delle conoscenze tecniche già acquisite del personale dei lavoratori che potrà trasferire in maniera diretta la propria esperienza e competenza non dovendo affrontare eventuali problematiche inedite.
A tal fine viene richiesto alla ditta ScandiNova (Opzione 1 del Capitolato Tecnico) la quotazione di una fornitura di componenti sostitutivi per eventuali riparazioni sui Modulatori, prodotti dalla stessa ditta, di cui i Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati sono già in possesso. In tal senso l’acquisto di due nuovi Modulatori prodotti dalla stessa ditta permette di ottimizzare le strategie di approvvigionamento delle scorte di componenti sostitutivi e la formazione del personale.
Considerate le argomentazioni illustrate nella presente relazione si dichiara che:
La scelta di affidare la fornitura alla ScandiNova è tecnicamente obbligata e che il fornitore proposto si configura come unico.

2.1 Introduction to INFN-LNF
The National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) is the Italian research agency dedicated to the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the laws that govern them, under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MUR). It conducts theoretical and experimental research in the fields of subnuclear, nuclear and astroparticle physics. Fundamental research in these areas requires the use of cutting-edge technology and instruments, developed by the INFN at its own laboratories and in collaboration with industries. Further information is available on websites: xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xx, xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxxx.xx
2.2 Introduction to TEX Facility
The TEX facility (TEst Stand for X-band) is an asset of the INFN-LNF realized in the framework of the preparatory activities related to the EUPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB project. It aims to demonstrate the feasibility and reliability of the X-band (11.994 GHz) radiofrequency (RF) technology for the realization of a linear accelerator. Currently it implements a single RF Source capable of delivering 50 MW Peak RF Power at 50 Hz that will be used for testing of RF components and accelerating structure prototypes at the X-band frequency. This facility is part of the LATINO Infrastructure, funded by the “Regione Lazio” that offers open access to external users to promote and increase the technology transfer between research centres and the surrounding industrial framework.
To guarantee more test capability on high gradient structure testing at 12 GHz, the installation of a new high repetition rate RF source in the TEX laboratory is required. Moreover, the test of this source (modulator and klystron) with higher repetition rate with respect to the actual source is of great interest in the framework of the EUPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB project and for the entire X-band users community. The chosen frequency of 12 GHz is also compatible to other studies within the member states notably at CERN, Trieste, and PSI who have chosen this “European” X- band frequency. Moreover, to upgrade the TEX testing capabilities also to other frequencies of interest and expand the possible users of the LATINO project, the installation of a C-band (6GHz) high repetition rate RF source is requested. The C-band frequency is very interesting in
the context of accelerators for medical applications and the development of innovative and more compact injectors for Linac. INFN thus strongly supports the development and production of these Sources through collaboration with industries.
The contract concerns the design, manufacturing, test, delivery and installation of two complete radiofrequency sources based on Solid-State Pulsed Modulator technology. The first in the X- band frequency range adapted for the high repetition rate X-band Canon klystron model E37119. The second in the C-band frequency range adapted for the high repetition rate C- band Canon klystron model E37217. The klystron tubes and the Solid-state modulators specifications must be compliant with those listed in table 1, 2, 5 and 6. The procurement must include, for both the sources, the entire RF Source assembly: Solid State Pulsed Modulator with all his auxiliary systems (filament, solenoid and ion pump power supplies, pulse transformer, control system, cooling system, trigger and interlock system) and the RF Klystron Tube, including focusing electromagnet, lifting devices and any transporting tools that might be required. In this respect, the technical specifications of the tubes and the solenoid focusing magnets, provided by Canon, must be considered part of the present tender technical specifications. (Annex 1: generic data sheet Klystron E37119, Annex 2: generic data sheet Klystron E37217).
As it will be described in more detail in chapter 7, two acceptance tests must be conducted for both the sources, one in factory before shipment (Factory Acceptance Test) and one on site (Site Acceptance Test). Both tests will be attended by INFN-LNF staff, in addition copies of the signed and completed acceptance tests sheets shall be provided together with RF power test curves for the klystron and lists of equipment used and their calibration data.
