Challenges for the low level RF design for ESS
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a planned neutron source to be built in Lund, Sweden, which is planned to produce the first neutrons in 2019. It will have an average beam power at the target of 5 MW, an average current along the linac of 50 mA, and a pulse repetition rate and length of 20 Hz and 2.86 ms, respectively. The linac will have around 200 LLRF stations employed to control a varie
