Abstract

In recent accelerators, radio frequency (RF) is the important technology and the klystron is the most favored RF device. Since a klystron is expensive, and procurement can take a year, proper maintenance work is a recurring theme. In particular, life estimation by measuring the cathode activity of the klystron is important for accelerator operation because after long usage of the klystron, the cathode deteriorates. The standard method used is to measure the cathode emission current as a function of heater voltage (Miram plot), but it takes a few hours to obtain a full curve of emission characteristics for a tube and is hard work for large-scale accelerators. In this paper, a dip test method is described in detail as the rapid cathode activation evaluation in the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPC II) ring klystron and BEPC injector linear accelerator at the Institute of High Energy Physics, China. This method measures the emission dip from the short interval of a filament power cycle with high voltage remaining on under the high voltage application to the cathode, and evaluates the cathode activity, which relates to the cathode deterioration. In a continuous-wave klystron a 10 s interval for the off-on time, and in pulsed klystron, a 40 s interval is sufficient to perform a dip test. Therefore, there are lots of advantages in using this method due to its rapidity and simplicity.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
