DLSITT1021 - Three 150kW, 500 MHz Circulators for the Diamond-II Project

Description

Located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond Light Source (DLS) is a leading-edge facility for science, engineering and innovation. Diamond allows researchers from academia and industry to investigate the structure and behaviour of the world around us at the atomic and molecular level. To continue delivering the world changing science that Diamond enables, the facility is being upgraded to Diamond-II, a coordinated programme of development that combines a major machine upgrade with new instruments and complementary improvements to optics,detectors, sample environment and delivery capabilities, and computing, as well as integrated and correlative methods. This will be transformative in speed and spatial resolution and will offer users streamlined access to enhanced instruments for life and physical sciences. The scope of the contract is to design, manufacture, deliver three identical 150 kW CW, 500 MHz circulators subject to the performance specification detailed in the tender specification document. Each circulator shall be capable of handling any power up to 150 kW in continuous wave or peak power operation for extended periods.
