Analyzing tetrode tube operation is crucial for the design and optimization of RF systems in proton/heavy ion synchrotrons, especially for high beam circulating current operations. This task presents significant challenges due to the complexity of the system. In this article, we introduce a novel approach to analyze tube operation using a circuit simulator. By modeling the entire RF system within the circuit simulator, we enable real-time simulation of the system’s behavior, which allows for accurate determination of tube operation. This method proves to be effective in multiharmonic scenarios where multiple variables need to be resolved. We detail the methods used to model the RF system of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) in the circuit simulator, which includes the wideband cavity, vacuum tube amplifier, and low-level RF (LLRF) control system. The simulation results are presented and discussed, showing reasonable agreement with experimental measurements.

The applicability of the 48V isotope as a source of positrons for positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) measurements is discussed. It has been demonstrated that using such a positron source, the classical PALS setup with two detectors does not accurately determine the positron annihilation parameters of the samples being studied. This issue arises when one of the two nuclear gamma rays (of energies of 983 and 1312 keV) that are emitted almost simultaneously with the creation of a positron triggers a start signal, while the other nuclear gamma triggers a stop signal instead of the 511-keV annihilation quanta. These events manifest as prompt coincidences in the start-stop histogram, rendering the analysis of PALS spectra unreliable. To address this problem, a modification to the classical PALS spectrometer was proposed and tested. This modification involved incorporating a logic branch that significantly reduced the undesired prompt coincidences between the 983- and 1312-keV gamma rays. By conducting measurements on a series of samples utilizing 2- and 25- $mu $
