| TUPPR015 | Choke-Mode Damped Structure Design for the CLIC Main Linac | 1840 |
|
||
| Choke-mode damped accelerating structures are being studied as an alternative to the CLIC waveguide damped baseline structure. Choke-mode structures hold the potential for much lower pulsed surface heating and reduced cost since no milling is required. We propose a new choke geometry which has significant suppression of higher order dipoles. By impedance matching and detuning of the first dipole pass-band, the wakefield suppression is comparable to the baseline design with waveguide damping. A fully featured choke mode structure with the same accelerating gradient profile and filling time as the nominal CLIC design has been designed. It has the potential to replace the waveguide damped design without changing any of the machine layout or the beam parameters. | ||
| TUPPD069 | Schottky-Enabled Photoemission and Dark Current Measurements - Toward an Alternate Approach to Fowler-Nordheim Plot Analysis | 1563 |
|
||
| Field-emitted dark current, a major gradient-limiting factor in RF cavities, is usually analyzed via Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plots. Traditionally, field emission is attributed to geometrical perturbations on the bulk surface whose field enhancement factor (beta) and the emitting area (A) can be extracted from the FN plot. Field enhancement factors extracted in this way are typically much too high (1 to 2 orders of magnitude) to be explainable by either the geometric projection model applied to the measured surface roughness or by field enhancement factors extracted from Schottky-enabled photoemission measurements. We compare traditional analysis of FN plots to an alternate approach employing local work function variation. This is illustrated by comparative analysis of recent dark current and Schottky-enabled photoemission data taken at Tsinghua S-band RF gun. We conclude by describing a possible experimental plan for discrimination of variation of local work function vs. local field enhancement. | ||
| THPPC011 | Design of an Accelerating Structure for a 500 GeV CLIC using Ace3P | 3296 |
|
||
|
Funding: Research Council of Norway An optimized design of the main linac accelerating structure for a 500 GeV first stage of CLIC is presented. A similar long-range wakefield suppression scheme as for 3 TeV CLIC based on heavy waveguide damping is adopted. The accelerating gradient for the lower energy machine is 80 MV/m. The 500 GeV design has larger aperture radius in order to increase the maximum bunch charge and length which is limited by the short-range wakefields. The cell geometries have been optimized using a new parametric optimizer for Ace3P and details of the RF cell design are described. Parameters of the full structure are calculated and optimized using a power flow equation. |

| THPPC022 | Enhanced Coupling Design of a Detuned Damped Structure for CLIC | 3323 |
|
||
| The key feature of the improved coupling design in the Damped Detuned Structure (DDS) is focused on the four manifolds. Rectangular geometry slots and rectangular manifolds are used. This results in a significantly stronger coupling to the manifolds compared to the previous design. We describe the new design together with its wakefield damping properties. | ||
| THPPC027 | Measurement of the Dynamic Response of the CERN DC Spark System and Preliminary Estimates of the Breakdown Turn-on Time | 3338 |
|
||
| The new High Rep Rate (HRR) CERN DC Spark System has been used to investigate the current and voltage time structure of a breakdown. Simulations indicate that vacuum breakdowns develop on ns timescales or even less. An experimental benchmark for this timescale is critical for comparison to simulations. The fast rise time of breakdown may provide some explanation of the particularly high gradients achieved by low group velocity, and narrow bandwidth, accelerating structures such as the T18 and T24. Voltage and current measurements made with the previous system indicated that the transient responses measured were dominated by the inherent capacitances and inductances of the DC spark system itself. The bandwidth limitations of the HRR system are far less severe allowing rise times of around 12ns to be measured. | ||
| THPPC061 | A 12 kV, 1 kHz, Pulse Generator for Breakdown Studies of Samples for CLIC RF Accelerating Structures | 3431 |
|
||
| Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) RF structures must be capable of sustaining high surface electric fields, in excess of 200 MV/m, with a breakdown (BD) rate below 3×10-7 breakdowns/pulse/m. Achieving such a low rate requires a detailed understanding of all the steps involved in the mechanism of breakdown. One of the fundamental studies is to investigate the statistical characteristics of the BD rate phenomenon at very low values to understand the origin of an observed dependency of the surface electric field raised to the power of 30. To acquire sufficient BD data, in a reasonable period of time, a high repetition rate pulse generator is required for an existing d.c. spark system at CERN. Following BD of the material sample the pulse generator must deliver a current pulse of several 10’s of Amperes for ~2 μs. A high repetition rate pulse generator has been designed, built and tested; this utilizes pulse forming line technology and employs MOSFET switches. This paper describes the design of the pulse generator and presents measurement results. | ||
