Description

The interpulse control laws for the European XFEL's normal-conducting 1.3 GHz gun (rev. 5.2) require detuning measurements to modulate pulse width and phase. However, due to thermal inertia and the inability to place temperature sensors directly on the gun's inner wall, such measurements cannot be obtained directly. This paper compares the tracking performance of two RF-based detuning estimation methods to address this challenge: the established linear, stationary approach versus an Unscented Kalman filter using a nonlinear, parameter-identified model.
