WEPAC01 | Time-Resolved Temperature Mapping System for the APS Deflecting Cavity | 784 |
|
||
Time-resolved temperature mapping of a superconducting cavity can give valuable information on the limiting process of the cavity performance. A fast temperature mapping system has been developed at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) for a superconducting deflecting cavity test. The time resolution of the temperature mapping could be up to 50 us. Not only the spatial distribution of surface heating but also the thermodynamics can be recorded, which helps to understand the limitation mechanism. This new temperature mapping system has helped us to understand the rf performance limitations during the cavity vertical tests. Based on the findings from the temperature mapping, proper cavity treatment has been applied and the cavity performances have been improved. | ||
WEPAC02 | Mode Damping Measurement for the APS Deflecting Cavity | 787 |
|
||
The Advanced Photon Source has considered using a deflecting-cavity-based scheme to produce short pulse xrays. A deflecting cavity design has been completed. To verify the simulation result on this cavity, a copper prototype of the design has been fabricated for bench measurement. In this paper, we report our measurement results on this cavity. All the cavity modes below 5 GHz were identified by comparing the field distributions with calculations along different beam paths. After adding the damper, the measured Qexts of those modes were consistent with calculated values, which demonstrated that the cavity damping scheme was sufficient to reduce the wake impedances well below the safety thresholds. | ||
WEPAC03 | Electro-Magnetic Optimization and Analysis of a Quarter Wave Resonator | 790 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 A β=0.085 quarter wave resonator (QWR) with resonant frequency=80.5 MHz is used in the Facility of Rare Isotope Beam (FRIB). Its baseline structure is designed to achieve the FRIB specifications with optimum cost to performance ratio. Electro-magnetic optimization is introduced in this paper to modify its internal geometry to reach instead maximum accelerating gradient, while preserving the original flange to flange length. Reduced peak magnetic field and increased shunt impedance are well achieved in the optimization while keeping the same stored energy. The maximum accelerating voltage is raised accordingly. Multipacting and steering are also analyzed for the optimized cavity. This resonator could be used in the ReA linac at MSU and in all applications where the maximum accelerating voltage should be achieved in a limited space, or where the accelerator cost is mainly driven by the resonator gradient. |

WEPAC04 | Hydrogen Degassing Study During the Heat Treatment of 1.3-GHz SRF Cavities | 793 |
|
||
Funding: IBS (Institute for Basic Science) Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities undergo a number of processes as part of its manufacturing procedure in order to optimize their performance. Among these processes is a high temperature hydrogen degas heat treatment used to prevent 'Q' disease. The heat treatment occurs in the processing sequence after either chemically or mechanically polishing the cavity. This paper summarizes the hydrogen measurements during the heat treatment of a sample of chemically and mechanically polished single-cell and nine-cell 1.3-GHz cavities. The hydrogen measurements are analyzed according the polishing method, the polishing history, the amount of time that the cavity was baked at 800°C, and the temperature ramp rate. |

WEPAC05 | Measurement of a Superconducting Solenoid with Applications to Low-beta SRF Cryomodules | 796 |
|
||
Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics, under Contract DE-AC02-76CH03000 and DE-AC02-06CH11357. Proton and heavy-ion linacs with superconducting cavities require compact lattices to suppress emittance growth in the low-velocity region. For beam focusing superconducting solenoids are superior in this regard to normal conducting quadrupoles. A superconducting solenoid with integral x-y steering coils has been fabricated for the Project-X Injector Experiment (PXIE) half-wave resonator cryomodule. It is capable of generating 6 T solenoidal fields and dipole steering fields of 30 T•mm field integrals in both of transverse directions. We experimentally investigated issues for practical use of this solenoid in cryomodules including: 1) the superposition of dipole steering fields on solenoidal fields, 2) the magnetic axis of the solenoid with respect to the mechanical references in cryogenic temperatures, and 3) the residual magnetic field generated by the solenoid on the superconducting RF cavity surfaces even after degaussing; a 72 MHz quarter wave resonator was used for this experiment. In this paper, we present details of experimental setup and results. |

A Quarter-Wave Resonator (QWR) type SRF gun operating at 112 MHz will be used for Coherent Electron Cooling Proof of Principle (CeC PoP) system under development for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

WEPAC09 | A Temperature-Mapping System for Multi-Cell SRF Accelerator Cavities | 805 |
|
||
A Temperature mapping (T-map) system for Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities consists of a thermometer array positioned precisely on an exterior cavity wall, capable of detecting small increases in temperature; therefore it is a powerful tool for research on the quality factor (Q0) of SRF cavities. A new multi-cell T-mapping system is has been developed at Cornell University. The system has nearly two thousand thermometers to cover 7-cell SRF cavities for Cornell’s ERL project. A new multiplexing scheme was adopted to reduce number of wires. A 1mK resolution of the temperature increase ΔT is achieved. A 9-cell cavity of TESLA geometry was tested with the T-map system. By converting ΔT to power loss and quality factor, it has been found that for this cavity, most surface losses were generated by the first cell when the accelerating gradient is increased above 15MV/m. Effective and intuitive ways of displaying surface properties of the cavity interior, e.g. the residual resistivity, will be shown. | ||
WEPAC10 | Investigation of the Surface Resistivity of SRF Cavities via theHEAT and SRIMP Program as well as the Multi-cell T-Map System | 808 |
|
||
A high-sensitive temperature mapping system for multi-cell SRF cavities has been constructed at Cornell University. The resolution of the system is 1mK. Hence it’s able to detect small temperature increases when cavities reach at low accelerating gradients e.g. 3MV/m. The surface resistivity of superconductor under radio-frequency electromagnetic field can be calculated from the temperature increases. In this contribution, the surface resistance map of multi-cell SRF cavities is shown. The temperature mapping result is possible to establish a relationship between the surface resistivity and the magnetic field as well. Unlike the RF method which is average value of the surface resistance, the T-map results give local surface resistivity versus magnetic field. BCS theory assumes the surface resistivity is independent to the magnetic field. The T-map results, however, suggest that the surface resistance at high-loss region is field dependent and caused Q-slope. | ||
WEPAC11 | Cornell's Main Linac Cryo-module Prototype | 811 |
|

Funding: Supported by NSF award DMR-0807731 In preparation to built an energy-recovery linac (ERL) based synchrotron-light facility at Cornell University which can provide greatly improved X-ray beams due to the high electron-beam quality that is available from a linac, a phase 1 R&D program was launched, adressing critical challenges in the design. One of them being a full linac cryo-module, housing 6 superconducting cavities (operated at 1.8 K in cw mode), 7 HOM absorbers and 1 magnet/ BPM section.

WEPAC12 | Theoretical Description of SIS Multilayer Films for SRF Cavities | 814 |
|
||
As surface magnetic fields in niobium superconducting RF (SRF) cavities prepared with modern techniques approach the fundamental limit of niobium’s superheating field, SRF researchers are looking to alternative superconductors to sustain even higher fields. However, the short coherence length of these superconductors may represent a critical vulnerability to vortex penetration at very small defects in the surface. A. Gurevich has proposed* a method of defeating this vulnerability: coating a bulk superconducting cavity with a series of very thin insulating and superconducting films. In this work, we present a thorough mathematical description of the SIS thin films proposed by Gurevich in the language of the accelerator community, to help researchers to optimize cavities made from alternative superconductors.

Funding: Supported by NSF award DMR-0807731 The phase 1 R&D program launched in preparation to building a 5 GeV Enery Recovery Linac (ERL) at Cornell, a full main linac cryomodule is currently built, housing six 7-cell cavities. In order to control the beam break-up limit, the shape of the cavity was highly optimized and stringent tolerances on the cavity production were targeted. We will report on the details of the cavity production, the accuracy of the cups forming the individual cells, the trimming procedure for the dumbbells, the cavity tuning and final accuracy of the cavity concerning field flatness, resonant frequency and overall length within this small series production. |

WEPAC14 | Studies of the Superconducting Traveling Wave Cavity for High Gradient Linac | 820 |
|
||
Use of a traveling wave (TW) accelerating structure with a small phase advance per cell rather than a standing wave structure may provide a significant increase of the accelerating gradient in superconducting linacs. For the same surface electric and magnetic fields the TW achieves an accelerating gradient 1.2/1.4 larger than TESLA-like standing wave cavities [1]. Recent tests of L-band model of a single-cell cavity with waveguide feedback [2] demonstrated an accelerating gradient comparable to the gradient in a single-cell ILC-type cavity from the same manufacturer. This article presents the next stage of development of the TW resonance ring with 3-cell accelerating cavity which supposed to test in traveling wave regime. The main simulation results of the microphonics and Lorentz force detuning are also considered. | ||
WEPAC17 | Study on Particulate Retention on Polished Niobium Surfaces after BCP Etching | 823 |
|
||
Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE SC0000661, the State of Michigan and Michigan State University. Niobium surface defects and inclusions can be introduced during the manufacturing processes used in the production of SRF cavities. Bulk removal methods (sanding, polishing, etc…) are frequently utilized to remove or smooth away these defects on the surface of the niobium metal. It is hypothesized that these mechanical removal methods are capable of trapping performance-degrading particulates, which are then exposed during subsequent chemical processing, potentially contaminating the cavity prior to RF testing. This paper summarizes results of a series of surface roughness and etching experiments performed to determine the relationship between the extent of polishing and trapped particulate, and to determine a method for mitigating this particulate contamination through BCP etching. The relationship between these experiments and RF cavity performance will be explored as well. |

Updates to the FRIB β=0.53 half wave resonator (HWR) design have provided an opportunity to test new buffered chemical polish (BCP) flow control techniques. New processing fixtures have been fabricated and used to process the FRIB β=0.53 HWR. This paper will present details of the fixture mechanical design iterations, the resulting BCP flow simulations, a qualitative evaluation of the agreement between simulations and measured results, and developments in process validation techniques. |

WEPAC20 | Magnetic Shield Optimization for the FRIB Superconducting Quarter-Wave Resonator Cryomodule | 829 |
|
||
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) requires 49 cryomodules containing 330 superconducting low-beta cavities, which have to be shielded from the earth magnetic field. Comprehensive magnetic shielding simulations have been conducted for 80.5 MHz β=0.085 cryomodules exposed to earth fields of 0.5 Gauss in different coordinate directions. The magnetic shield has to attenuate the earth magnetic field by a minimum factor of 33 (to less than 15 milli Gauss) in order to limit flux trapping in the cavities during cool-down. In the reported optimization studies, the permeability of the magnetic shielding material, shield thickness, and number of magnetic shield layers have been varied. Different design concepts including global and local magnetic shielding have been evaluated. In addition, the design concepts are compared based on the cost of material, fabrication and assembly, the design complexity and compatibility with the overall cryomodule design to obtain an optimum solution. | ||
WEPAC21 | Tuning Process of SSR1 Cavity for Project X at FNAL | 832 |
|
||
SSR1 is a family of single spoke resonators to be used in Project X at Fermi National Laboratory. These cavities operate in CW regime having nominal frequency of 325 MHz and optimal beta of 0.22. SSR1 cavities will accelerate H− ions after the Half Wave Resonator (HWR) section from 9 MeV to 32 MeV. In the near future this cavity will be used in Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE), which contains the ion source, the LEBT, the MEBT, the RFQ of Project X, and a cryogenic temperature section, having one HWR and one SSR1 cryomodule. SSR1 cavities have been built and tested at FNAL, the preparation of these resonators includes RF tuning which is the main focus of this paper. The frequency of the cavity is carefully chosen prior to the vertical test, and it is adjusted before welding the helium vessel to obtain 325 MHz nominal frequency for the dressed cavity in operating conditions. Several SSR1 cavities have been tuned at FNAL, the procedure, the hardware and the data are presented. | ||
WEPAC22 | Single Spoke Resonator Inner Electrode Optimization Driven by Reduction of Multipoles | 835 |
|
||
Accelerating cavities based on coaxial resonators, half wave and spoke resonators for example, do not have azimuthal symmetry. This lack of symmetry introduces a transverse field perturbation which affects the beam dynamic, since the particles traveling through the structure are crossing two accelerating gaps separated by the inner electrode. The field asymmetry induces an asymmetric transverse momentum gain which, once expanded in multipoles, appears to be due to a quadrupole perturbation. Depending on the cavity geometry and particle velocity, the influence of electric and magnetic fields may vary quite significantly. A way of having symmetric transverse fields in spoke resonators consists in modifying the inner electrode from a pole to an X or Y shape. The application of these changes symmetrizes both electric and magnetic fields and reduces the multipoles amplitudes to negligible values. This paper presents the study aimed to reduce the multi-poles amplitudes of SSR2 cavity for Project X; the presented procedure, in general, is valid for any spoke cavity. | ||
WEPAC23 | Multipacting Simulations of SSR2 Cavity at FNAL | 838 |
|
||
SSR2 is the second family of single spoke resonator under development at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL). These cavities will be placed in Project X front-end after SSR1 spoke resonators, which have already been built and tested and FNAL. Spoke cavities are affected by multipacting and the nature of their 3D geometry does not allow simulating the multipactor process using 2D tools. 3D tracking simulations, of electrons inside the cavity volume, have been carried out using CST Particle Studio. Different Secondary Emission Coefficients have been applied to the cavity walls in order to understand how strongly the multipacting depends on material properties. The power levels used in simulations cover the whole operating gradient range of SSR2 cavity. Results of these simulations are compared to the one given by SSR1 model, which demonstrated good agreement with experimental data. The purposes of this paper are to present the results gotten from the tracking solver, to give a prediction of what will be the multipacting scenario for SSR2 cavity and if there will be any dangerous zone for operation. | ||
WEPAC25 | New Helium Vessel and Lever Tuner Designs for the 650 MHz Cavities for Project X | 841 |
|
||
The design of 5-cell elliptical 650 MHz β=0.9 cavities to accelerate H− beam of 1 mA average current in the range 467-3000 MeV for the Project X Linac is currently under development at Fermilab. A new design of the Helium Vessel (HV) was developed for these cavities with the main goal of optimizing the frequency sensitivity df/dP by keeping the cavity stiffness reasonably small. We also present a design of the new lever tuner system. The HV in the new design is equipped with the tuner located at the end of the cavity instead of the initially proposed blade tuner located in the middle. We will present mechanical design results and ANSYS analyses for both the slow and fast tuners. | ||

Funding: US Department of Energy CM2 is the second 1.3GHz Cryomodule assembled at the Cryomodule Assembly Facility (CAF) in Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The string has a doublet magnet, beam position monitor and eight cavities. All the cavities are qualified at 35 MV / m gradient at the Horizontal Test Facility before assembly. The dressed cavities were outfitted with magnetic shielding, blade tuner, and the cold mass was assembled based on the Tesla TTF Type III+ cryomodule design. CM2 is currently being installed into the test stand in NML where it will be cooled down and high power tested. CM2 will also be the first cryomodule that an electron beam will be put through at the NML facility. This will be a proof of principle for the planned Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) facility at NML. This paper describes the assembly steps, the quality assurance methods and the challenges that we experienced during assembly and qualification steps at CAF. De |

WEPAC32 | Wakefield Loss Analysis of the Elliptical 3.9 GHz Third Harmonic Cavity | 847 |
|
||
Third harmonic 3.9 GHz elliptical cavities are planned to be used in many particle accelerator projects such as XFEL, NGLS, and ASTA. In this paper, the wakefield losses due to single bunch passage are analysed considering bunches of RMS length 8 mm down to ultra short ones of 10 μm length. Both the loss and kick factors are numerically calculated for bunches of relatively long length (>1 mm) using CST wakefield solver. The data is then used to extrapolate asymptotically the values for ultra-short bunches by finding the wake functions. These calculations are essential to estimate the cryogenic losses in cryomodules and for beam dynamic analysis. | ||
WEPAC33 | Results of the New High Power Tests of Superconducting Photonic Band Gap Structure Cells | 850 |
|
||
Funding: This work is supported by the Department of Defense High Energy Laser Joint Technology Office through the Office of Naval Research. We present an update on the 2.1 GHz superconducting rf (SRF) photonic band gap (PBG) resonator experiment in Los Alamos. The new SRF PBG cell was designed with the particular emphasis on changing the shape of PBG rods to reduce the peak magnetic fields and at the same time to preserve its effectiveness for suppression of the higher order modes (HOMs). The new PBG cells have great potential for outcoupling long-range wakefields in SRF accelerator structures without affecting the fundamental accelerating mode. Using PBG structures in superconducting particle accelerators will allow operation at higher frequencies and moving forward to significantly higher beam luminosities thus leading towards a completely new generation of colliders for high energy physics. Here we report the results of our efforts to fabricate 2.1 GHz PBG cells with elliptical rods and to test them with high power in a liquid helium bath at the temperature of 2 Kelvin. The high gradient performance of the cells will be evaluated and the results will be compared to electromagnetic and thermal simulations. |

WEPAC34 | Update on the Design of a Five-Cell Superconducting RF Module with a PBG Coupler Cell | 853 |
|
||
Funding: This work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science Early Career Research Program. We present a complete design of the 5-cell superconducting accelerating module incorporating a Photonic Band Gap (PBG) cell with couplers. The purpose of the PBG cell is to achieve better Higher Order Mode (HOM) damping which is vital for preserving the quality of high-current electron beams in novel linear accelerators. The PBG technology can therefore be used for X-band free electron lasers. We first discuss the engineering aspects of incorporating a PBG cell in a superconducting PBG module. The main concern is to ensure the equal probability of quench is in each of the five cells, which leads to significant geometry modifications. We then present the simulation data on the HOM damping. Particularly, we calculate the external quality factors for the 10 most dangerous HOMs for this particular structure. Performance of different couplers and different modifications of the PBG lattice are discussed. Thermal analysis of the structure is also discussed briefly. |

WEPAC35 | Initial Studies of Multipactor Suppression Via TE and TM Modes | 856 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) grant on the Basic Physics of Distributed Plasma Discharges. The formation of multipactor is strongly dependent upon the secondary electron yield (SEY) of a surface, and the emission velocities of the emitted electrons, in addition to the electric field. Since the secondary electron yield (SEY) of a material is dependent upon the kinetic energy and impact angle of the incident electron, we investigate use TE and TM coaxial cavity modes to modify the impacting electron velocities to reduce the average SEY and suppress multipactor, which builds upon our previous work examining TEM modes. |

WEPAC39 | Tests of an RF Dipole Crabbing Cavity for an Electron-Ion Collider | 859 |
|
||
On the scheme of developing a medium energy electron-ion collider (MEIC) at Jefferson Lab, we have designed a compact superconducting rf dipole cavity at 750 MHz to crab both electron and ion bunches and increase luminosities at the interaction points (IP) of the machine. Following the design optimization and characterization of the electromagnetic properties such as peak surface fields and shunt impedance, along with field nonuniformities, multipole components content, higher order modes (HOM) and multipacting, a prototype cavity was built by Niowave Inc. The 750 MHz prototype crab cavity has been tested at 4 K and is ready for re-testing at 4 K and 2 K at Jefferson Lab. In this paper we present the detailed results of the rf tests performed on the 750 MHz crab cavity prototype. | ||
WEPAC40 | Mechanical Analysis of the 400 MHz RF-Dipole Crabbing Cavity Prototype for LHC High Luminosity Upgrade | 862 |
|
||
The proposed LHC high luminosity upgrade requires two crabbing systems in increasing the peak luminosity, operating both vertically and horizontally at two interaction points of IP1 and IP5. The required system has tight dimensional constraints and needs to achieve higher operational gradients. A proof-of-principle 400 MHz crabbing cavity design has been successfully tested and has proven to be an ideal candidate for the crabbing system. The cylindrical proof-of-principle rf-dipole design has been adapted in to a square shaped design to further meet the dimensional requirements. The new rf-dipole design has been optimized in meeting the requirements in rf-properties, higher order mode damping, and multipole components. A crabbing system in a cryomodule is expected to be tested on the SPS beam line prior to the test at LHC. The new prototype is required to achieve the mechanical and thermal specifications of the SPS test followed by the test at LHC. This paper discusses the detailed mechanical and thermal analysis in minimizing Lorentz force detuning and sensitivity to liquid He pressure fluctuations. | ||
WEPAC41 | Comparison of Electromagnetic, Thermal and Mechanical Calculations with RF Test Results in RF-Dipole Deflecting/Crabbing Cavities | 865 |
|
||
The current requirements of higher gradients and strict dimensional constraints in the emerging applications have required the designing of compact deflecting and crabbing rf structures. The superconducting rf-dipole cavity is one of the first novel compact designs with attractive properties such as higher gradients, higher shunt impedance and widely separated higher order modes. The recent tests performed on proof-of-principle designs of the rf-dipole geometry at 4.2 K and 2.0 K in a vertical test assembly have proven the designs to achieve higher gradients with higher intrinsic quality factors and easily processed multipacting conditions. The design frequency sensitivity to pressure (df/dp) due to liquid He pressure fluctuations, Lorentz force detuning due to radiation pressure, and thermal and mechanical effects have also been measured during the tests. These effects lead to cavity frequency detuning while in operation and therefore needs to be reduced. This paper presents the detailed comparison of the measurement to the simulation results obtained from ANSYS. | ||
WEPAC42 | Geometry Effects on Multipole Components and Beam Optics in High-Velocity Multi-Spoke Cavities | 868 |
|
||
Velocity-of-light, multi-spoke cavities are being proposed to accelerate electrons in a compact light-source [1]. There are strict requirements on the beam quality which require that the linac have only small non-uniformities in the accelerating field. Beam dynamics simulations have uncovered varying levels of focusing and defocusing in the proposed cavities, which is dependent on the geometry of the spoke in the vicinity of the beam path. Here we present results for the influence different spoke geometries have on the multipole components of the accelerating field and how these components, in turn, impact the simulated beam properties.

WEPAC44 | Higher Order Modes Damping and Multipacting Analysis for the SPX Deflecting Cavity in APS Upgrade | 874 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by US DOE under contract number DE-AC02-06CH11357. A single-cell superconducting deflecting cavity operating at 2.815 GHz has been proposed and designed for the Short Pulse X-ray (SPX) project for the Advanced Photon Source (APS) upgrade. Each deflecting cavity is equipped with one fundamental power coupler (FPC), one lower order mode (LOM) coupler, and two higher order mode (HOM) couplers to achieve the stringent damping requirements for the unwanted modes. Using the electromagnetic simulation suite ACE3P, HOM damping will be calculated for the cavity including the full engineering design waveguide configurations and rf windows. Trapped modes in the bellows located in the beampipes connecting the cavities in a cryomodule will be computed and their effects on heating evaluated. Furthermore, multipacting activities at the end groups of the cavity will be identified to assess possible problems during high power processing. |

WEPAC46 | Wakefield Computations for a Corrugated Pipe as a Beam Dechirper for FEL Applications | 877 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the US DOE under contract DE-AC02-76SF00515. A beam “dechirper” based on a corrugated, metallic vacuum chamber has been proposed recently to cancel residual energy chirp in a beam before it enters the undulator in a linac-based X-ray FEL*. Rather than the round geometry that was originally proposed, we consider a pipe composed of two parallel plates with corrugations. The advantage is that the strength of the wake effect can be tuned by adjusting the separation of the plates. The separation of the plates is a few millimeters, and the corrugations are fractions of a millimeter in size. The dechirpers need to be meters long in order to provide sufficient longitudinal wakefield to cancel the beam chirp. Considerable computation resources are required to determine accurately the wakefield for such a long structure with small corrugation gaps. Combining the moving window technique and parallel computing using multiple processors, the parallel finite-element electromagnetic suite ACE3P allows efficient determination of the wakefield through convergence studies. In this paper, we will calculate the longitudinal, dipole and quadrupole wakefields for the dechirper and compare the results with those of analytical approaches. * K.L.F. Bane, G. Stupakov, Nucl.

Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. As a part of Jefferson Lab’s 12 GeV upgrade, a new injector superconducting RF cryomodule is required. This unit consists of a 2-cell and 7-cell cavity, with the latter being refurbished from an existing cavity. The new 2-cell cavity requires electromagnetic design and optimization followed by mechanical design analyses. The electromagnetic design is reported elsewhere. This paper aims to present the procedures and conclusions of the analyses on cavity tuning sensitivity, pressure sensitivity, upset condition pressure induced stresses, and structural vibration frequencies. The purposes of such analyses include: 1) provide reference data for cavity tuner design; 2) examine the structural integrity of the cavity; and 3) evaluate the 2-cell cavity’s resistance to microphonics. Design issues such as the location of stiffening rings, effect of tuner stiffness on cavity stress, choice of cavity wall thickness, etc. are investigated by conducting extensive finite element analyses. Progress in fabrication of the 2-cell cavity is also reported.
