Superconducting technology offers the possibility of building short-period undulators for synchrotron light sources. Such undulators will deliver higher fluxes at higher photon energies to the light source user community. The Advanced Photon Source (APS) team is building the first superconducting planar undulator to be installed in the APS storage ring. The current status of the project is presented in this paper.

A waveguide flange seal serving a high-field, superconducting, radio-frequency (SRF) cavity ideally possesses several characteristics. Seals must generally be ultrahigh-vacuum leak tight. Seals must also bridge the inner surfaces of connecting flanges for optimum transmission and minimal heating due to trapped modes. In addition, if seal contact areas are minimized, flange seals may serve as convenient thermal impedances. Finally, seals must be easily cleanable and not be prone to generate particulate matter during assembly and disassembly. A unique sealing technology known as VATSEAL may neatly address all of the above requirements. In this paper, we describe our evaluation of VATSEAL technology for use in SRF cavity assemblies.

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) is developing 2.8-GHz deflecting-mode superconducting rf cavities in collaboration with Jefferson Lab as part of a major facility upgrade. On-site testing of these cavities requires a new cryostat capable of operation at 2.0 K or less. The APS has leveraged facilities and expertise within ANL’s Physics Division to upgrade an existing test stand for continuous operation at temperatures as low as 1.7 K. A new cryogenic feedbox was fabricated and mated to an existing liquid helium “bucket” dewar with 0.6-m inside diameter and 1-m working depth. The configuration allows continuous sub-λ operation using warm vacuum pumping and helium make-up from the Physics Division’s existing cryoplant at heat loads up to 50 W dynamic, plus 15 W measured static load at 2.0 K. A 2.8-GHz TWT-based rf station has been installed and commissioned, providing up to 275 W of rf power. We describe the cryogenic and rf performance of the system and provide examples of cavity test results.

The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U) Project at Argonne will include generation of short-pulse x-rays based on Zholents’* deflecting cavity scheme. We have chosen superconducting (SC) cavities in order to have a continuous train of crabbed bunches and flexibility of operating modes. In collaboration with Jefferson Laboratory, we are prototyping and testing a number of single-cell deflecting cavities and associated auxiliary systems with promising initial results. In collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, we are working to develop state-of-the-art timing, synchronization, and differential rf phase stability systems that are required for SPX. Collaboration with Advanced Computations Department at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is looking into simulations of complex, multi-cavity geometries with lower- and higher-order modes waveguide dampers using ACE3P. This contribution provides the current R&D status of the SPX project.
