WEPPC043 | Transverse Kick Analysis of SSR1 Due to Possible Geometrical Variations in Fabrication | 2306 |
|
||
Funding: Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. DOE Due to fabrication tolerance, it is expected that some geometrical variations could happen to the SSR1 cavities of Project X, like small shifts in the transverse direction of the beam pipe or the spoke. It is necessary to evaluate the resultant transverse kick due to these geometrical variations, in order to make sure that they are within the limits of the correctors in the solenoids. In this paper, we report the transverse kick values for various fabrications errors and the sensitivity of the beam to these errors. |

WEPPC046 | Overview of Project X Superconducting RF Cavities and Cryomodules | 2315 |
|
||
The Project X Linac is based primarily on superconducting RF technology starting from a low beam energy of approximately 2.5 MeV up to the exit energy of 8 GeV. The Linac consists of 162.5 MHz half-wave cavities, 325 MHz single-spoke cavities, and two families of 650 MHz elliptical cavities - all operating in continuous-wave mode - up to a beam energy of 3 GeV. The beam is further accelerated up to 8 GeV in a pulsed mode ILC-like Linac utilizing 1.3 GHz cavities. In this paper we will give an overview of the design and status of the Project X superconducting RF cavities and cryomodules. | ||
WEPPC050 | Main Couplers for Project X | 2324 |
|
||
Design of 325MHz and 650MHz multi-kilowatt CW main couplers for superconducting linac of Project X is described. Results of electrodynamics, thermal and mechanical simulations is presented. | ||
WEPPC052 | High Gradient Tests of the Fermilab SSR1 Cavity | 2330 |
|
||
In Fermilab we are build and tested several superconducting Single Spoke Resonators (SSR1, β=0.22) which can be used for acceleration of low beta ions. Fist two cavities performed very well during cold test in Vertical Test Station at FNAL. One dressed cavity was also tested successfully in Horizontal Test Station. Currently we are building 8 cavity cryomodule for PIXIE project. Additional 10 cavities were manufactured in the industry and ongoing cold test results will be presented in this poster. | ||
WEPPC053 | SSR1 HOM Analysis and Measurements | 2333 |
|
||
Funding: Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. DOE Single spoke resonators (SSR1, β=0.22) are currently under development for Project X at Fermilab. In this paper, extensive Higher Order Mode (HOM) analysis carried out on SSR1 is reported including the simulated R/Q for monopoles, dipoles, and quadrupoles. HOM measurements carried out on several spoke cavities are also reported including the harmonic response and the bead pull measurements. Comparison between the measured R/Q values and the simulated ones are presented. |

WEPPC054 | Resonance Excitation of Longitudinal High Order Modes in Project X Linac | 2336 |
|
||
Results of simulation of power loss due to excitation of longitudinal high order modes (HOMs) in the accelerating superconducting RF system of CW linac of Project X are presented. Beam structures corresponding to the various modes of Project X operation are considered: CW regime for 3 GeV physics program; pulsed mode for neutrino experiments; and pulsed regime, when Project X linac operates as a driver for Neutrino Factory/Muon Collider. Power loss and associated heat load due to resonance excitation of longitudinal HOMs are shown to be small in all modes of operation. Conclusion is made that HOM couplers can be removed from the design of superconducting RF cavities of Project X linac. | ||
THPPC030 | Multi-physics Analysis of the Fermilab Booster RF Cavity | 3347 |
|
||
Funding: Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. DOE After about 40 years of operation the RF accelerating cavities in Fermilab Booster need an upgrade to improve their reliability and to increase the repetition rate in order to support a future experimental program. An increase in the repetition rate from 7 to 15 Hz entails increasing the power dissipation in the RF cavities, their ferrite loaded tuners, and HOM dampers. The increased duty factor requires careful modelling for the RF heating effects in the cavity. A multi-physic analysis investigating both the RF and thermal properties of Booster cavity under various operating conditions is presented in this paper. |

THPPC043 | Cold Test of an L-band, 2-Cell PWT Photoelectron | 3380 |
|
||
Funding: DOE SBIR Grant No. DE-FG02-06ER84460 An L-band, 1+2/2-cell PWT gun with a coax coupler has been designed for high vacuum polarized electron source applications by DULY Research Inc. A cold test model was fabricated and is currently undergoing test at Fermilab, where the gun will eventually be hot tested. The aluminum cold test model includes an rf/ vacuum sieve, 2 disks, endplates, 6 supporting rods and a 6” CF flange, clamped together during testing. Fermilab made measurements for the cavity resonant frequency and axial field distribution using bead pull. To measure the resonant frequency of the cavity small diameter probes are placed through the vacuum sieve slot. A larger diameter probe can be used as an active tuner. This paper presents the results of the cold test and compares measurements with simulation results from 3D SLAC code Omega3p. The axial field distributions are in good agreement with each other. Frequency deviation is less than 0.5%, well within the experimental accuracy. |
