TUYGBE2 | CBETA, the 4-Turn ERL with SRF and Single Return Loop | 635 |
|
||
Funding: Supported by NSF award DMR-0807731, DOE grant DE-AC02-76SF00515, and NYSERDA. A collaboration between Cornell University and Brookhaven National Laboratory has designed and is constructing CBETA, the Cornell-BNL ERL Test Accelerator on the Cornell campus. The ERL technology that has been prototyped at Cornell for many years is being used for this new accelerator, including a DC electron source and an SRF injector Linac with world-record current and normalized brightness in a bunch train, a high-current linac cryomodule optimized for ERLs, a high-power beam stop, and several diagnostics tools for high-current and high-brightness beams. BNL has designed multi-turn ERLs for several purpose, dominantly for the electron beam of eRHIC, its Electron Ion Collider (EIC) project and for the associated fast electron cooling system. Also in JLEIC, the EIC designed at JLAB, an ERL is envisioned to be used for electron cooling. The number of transport lines in an ERL is minimized by using return arcs that are comprised of a Fixed Field Alternating-gradient (FFA) design. This technique will be tested in CBETA, which has a single return for the 4-beam energies with strongly-focusing permanent magnets of Halbach type. The high-brightness beam with 150~MeV and up to 40~mA will have applications beyond accelerator research, in industry, in nuclear physics, and in X-ray science. Low current electron beam has already been sent through the most relevant parts of CBETA, from the DC gun through both cryomodules, through one of the 8 similar separator lines, and through one of the 27 similar FFA structures. Further construction is envisioned to lead to a commissioning start for the full system early in 2019. |

WEPMF036 | RF Test Result of a BNL N-Doped 500 MHz B-Cell Cavity at Cornell | 2440 |
|
||
Cornell's SRF group has collaborated with Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) on one 500 MHz CESR type SRF "B-cell" cavity (BNL B-cell) for the National Synchrotron Light Source II. Cornell has been responsible for RF surface preparation, vertical testing, and short cavity string assembly. As a state-of-the-art surface preparation protocol, Cornell selected Nitrogen doping for the BNL B-cell. N-doping has been well demonstrated and established to push the cavity quality factor (Q0) higher in 1.3GHz SRF cavities at many laboratories. Cornell calculated that N-doping could also be beneficial on a 500MHz SRF cavity, with a potential to increase its Q0 by a factor of two compared with the traditional chemical polishing based surface preparation protocol. Here we report on the detailed surface preparation and vertical test result of the BNL B-cell. | ||

WEPMF037 | HF Free Bipolar Electro-Polishing Studies on Niobium SRF Cavities at Cornell With Faraday Technology | 2443 |
|
||
Cornell's SRF group and Faraday Technology have been collaborating on two phase-II SBIR projects. One of them is the development and commissioning of a 9-cell scale HF free Bipolar Electro-Polishing (BEP) system. Faraday Technology has upgraded their 1.3 GHz single-cell BEP system for hosting 9-cell cavities. Initial commissioning of the new system was done with a three single-cell cavity string, and high a gradient of 40MV/m was demonstrated during the RF tests at Cornell. After this success with the test string, the 9-cell cavity was processed with the new system at Faraday and RF test was performed at Cornell. Here we report detailed results from these 9-cell scale HF free BEP studies. | ||

WEPMF038 | Microphonics Suppression in the CBETA Linac Cryomodules | 2447 |
SUSPL068 | use link to see paper's listing under its alternate paper code | |
|
||
Funding: This work was performed through the support of New York State Energy Research and Development Agency. The linac cryomodules were constructed with funding from the National Science Foundation. The Cornell-BNL ERL Test Accelerator (CBETA) is a new multi-turn energy recovery linac currently under construction at Cornell University. It uses two superconducting linacs, both of which are susceptible to microphonics detuning. The high-current injector accelerates electrons to 6 MeV and the main linac accelerates and decelerates electrons by 36 MeV. In this paper, we discuss various measures taken to reduce vibrations caused by instabilities and flow transients in the cryogenic system of the main linac cryomodule. We further describe the use of a Least Mean Square algorithm in establishing a stable Active Microphonics Compensation system for operation of the main linac cavities. |

WEPMF043 | Frequency Tuner Development at Cornell for the RAON Half Wave Resonators | 2461 |
|
||
The superconducting half-wave-resonators for the RAON project require a slow frequency tuner that can provide at least 80 kHz tuning range. Cornell University has designed, prototyped, and tested a tuner for these half-wave-resonators. In this paper, we present the tuner design, prototype fabrication, test insert preparation, long-term testing and tuner performance test results at cryogenic temperature. The performance of the tuner is analyzed in detail. | ||

WEPMF045 | Performance of the Prototype SRF Half-Wave-Resonators Tested at Cornell for the RAON Project | 2468 |
|
||
Two prototype superconducting half-wave-resonator (162.5 MHz and β=0.12) for the RAON project have been successfully tested at Cornell University. Detailed vertical performance testing included (1) test of the bare cavity without the helium tank, and (2) test of the dressed cavity with a helium tank. In this paper, we report on the development of the test infrastructure, test results, and performance data analysis, showing that the specifications for RAON were met. | ||
