Future electron-hadron collider eRHIC will consist of a six-pass 30-GeV electron ERL and one of RHIC storage rings operating with energy up to 250 GeV. The collider design extensively utilizes superconducting RF (SRF) technology in both electron and hadron parts. This paper describes various SRF systems, their requirements and parameters. |

WEPPC111 | Multipacting Simulation ADN Test Results of BNL 704 MHz SRF Gun | 2480 |

Funding: This work was supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. DOE. The BNL 704 MHz SRF gun has a grooved choke joint to support the photo-cathode. Due to the distortion of grooves at the choke joint during the BCP for the choke joint, several multipacting barriers showed up when it was tested with Nb cathode stalk at JLab. We built a setup to use the spare large grain SRF cavity to test and condition the multipacting at BNL with various power sources. The test is carried out with three steps: cavity, cavity with Nb cathode stalk, and cavity with copper cathode stalk. This paper summarizes the results of multipacting simulation, and presents large grain cavity test setup and the test results. |

WEPPC113 | Progress on the High-Current 704 MHz Superconducting RF Cavity at BNL | 2486 |
|

Funding: This work was supported by Sotny Brook under contract No. DE-SC0002496 and Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. DOE. The 704 MHz high current superconducting cavity has been designed with consideration of both performance of fundamental mode and damping of higher order modes. A copper prototype cavity was fabricated by AES and delivered to BNL. RF measurements were carried out on this prototype cavity, including fundamental pass-band and HOM spectrum measurements, HOM studies using bead-pull setup, prototyping of antenna-type HOM couplers. The measurements show that the cavity has very good damping for the higher-order modes, which was one of the main goals for the high current cavity design. 3D cavity models were simulated with Omega3P code developed by SLAC to compare with the measurements. The paper describes the cavity design, RF measurement setups for the copper prototype, and presents comparison of the experimental results with computer simulations. The progress with the niobium cavity fabrication will also be described. |

THPPD083 | Analysis of Kicker Noise Induced Beam Emittance Growth | 3710 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Over the last few years, physicists have suspected the presence of noise acting on the RHIC beams observable as occasional emittance growth at high beam energies. While the noise was sporadic in the past, it became more persistent during the run-11 setup period. An investigation diagnosed the source as originating from the RHIC abort kicker system. Once identified the issue was quickly resolved. We report in this paper the investigation result, circuit analysis, measured and simulated waveforms, solutions, and future plans. |

THPPD084 | Analysis of Beam Loss Induced Abort Kicker Instability | 3713 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Through more than a decade of operation, we have noticed the phenomena of beam loss induced kicker instability in the RHIC beam abort systems. In this study, we analyze the short term beam loss before abort kicker pre-fire events and operation conditions before capacitor failures. Beam loss has caused capacitor failures and elevated radiation level concentrated at failed end of capacitor has been observed. We are interested in beam loss induced radiation and heat dissipation in large oil filled capacitors and beam triggered thyratron conduction. We hope the analysis result would lead to better protection of the abort systems and improved stability of the RHIC operation. |

THPPD085 | Research and Development of RHIC Injection Kicker Upgrade with Nano Second FID Pulse Generator | 3716 |
|

Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Our recent effort to test a 50 kV, 1 kA, 50 ns pulse width, 10 ns pulse rise time FID pulse generator with 250 ft transmission cable, resistive load, and existing RHIC injection kicker magnet has produced unparalleled result. This is the very first attempt to drive a high strength fast kicker magnet with a nanosecond high pulsed power (50 MVA) generator for large accelerator and colliders. The technology is impressive. We report here the result and future plan of RHIC Injection kicker upgrade. |
