We have developed an optimized electromagnetic and mechanical design of a 162.5 MHz half-wave resonator (HWR) suitable for acceleration of high-intensity proton or H-minus beams in the energy range from 2 MeV to 10 MeV. The cavity design is based on recent advances in SRF technology for TEM-class structures being developed at ANL. Highly optimized EM parameters were achieved by adjusting the shapes of both inner and outer conductors. This new design will be processed with a new HWR horizontal electropolishing system after all mechanical work on the cavity including the welding of the helium jacket is complete. The prototype HWR is being fabricated by domestic vendors under ANL’s supervision.

We present the current status of our Project-X half-wave resonator cryomodule development effort. The Project-X injector requires a single cryomodule with 9 superconducting, 162.5-MHz, β = 0.11, half-wave resonators interleaved with 6 integrated superconducting solenoids/steering coils. This cryomodule is being designed and build by ANL with the intent of delivering a device which has all external connections to the cryogenic, RF, and instrumentation systems located at removable junctions separated from the clean cavity vacuum system. Issues include the ease of assembly, cavity cleanliness, interfacing to subsystems (e.g., cryogenics, couplers, tuners, etc.), and satisfying the ANL/FNAL/DOE guidelines for vacuum vessels. We employ proven warm-to-cold low-particulate beamline transitions to minimize unused space along the linac, a top-loading box design that minimizes the size of the clean room assembly, and compact beamline devices to minimize the length of the focusing period.
