Lifetime Testing 700 MHz RF Windows for the Accelerator Production of   Tritium Program
  Radio frequency (RF) windows are historically a point where failure occurs in input-power couplers for accelerators. To understand more about the reliability of high power RF windows, lifetime testing was done on 700 MHz coaxial RF windows for the Low Energy Demonstration Accelerator (LEDA) project of the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) program. The RF windows, made by Marconi Applied Technologies (formerly EEV), were tested at 800 kW for an extended period of time. Changes in the reflected power, vacuum, air outlet temperature, and surface temperature were monitored over time. The results of the life testing are summarized.
