The LCLS-II linac utilizes superconducting technology operating at continuous wave to accelerate the 1-MHz electron beams to 4 GeV to produce tunable FELs. The TESLA 9-cell superconducting cavity is adopted as the baseline design for the linac. The design gradient is approximately 16 MV/m. The highest operating current is 300 μA. Assuming that the RF power is matched at the highest current, the optimal loaded QL of the cavity is found to be around 4·107. Because of the high QL, the cavity bandwidth approaches the background microphonic detuning, and the performance of the cavity is tightly coupled to the mechanical perturbations of the cavity/cryomodule system. The resulting large phase and amplitude variations in the cavity require active feedback to achieve the 0.01% amplitude and phase stability requirements. To understand the cavity RF response and feedback requirements to the microphonics and Lorentz Force detuning, we have developed a simulation model of the RF-mechanical coupled system using parameters obtained with the multi-physics solver ACE3P. We will present the simulation results of the LCLS-II linac under different power feed scenarios and feedback schemes.

The Matter-Radiation Interactions in Extremes (MaRIE) facility proposed at LANL utilizes a 20-GeV electron linac to drive a 50-keV XFEL. Experimental requirements drive a need for multiple photon bunches over time durations of about 10 microsecond produced by a bunch train of interleaving 0.1 nC very low-emittance bunches with 2-nC electron bunches. The linac is required not only to provide high gradient and high efficient acceleration, but also a controlled wakefield profile to maintain the beam quality. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of using the S-Band technology to meet such acceleration requirements. We will present the design optimization and comparison of S-Band structures based on different design considerations.

THPRI078 Experimental Study of Surface RF Magnetic Field Enhancement Caused by Closely Spaced Protrusions 3949

  The RF magnetic field enhancement between two closely spaced protrusions on a metallic surface has been studied theoretically. It is found that a large enhancement occurs when the field is perpendicular to the gap between the protrusions. This mechanism could help explain the melting that has been observed on cavity surfaces subjected to pulsed heating that would nominally be well below the melting temperature of the surface material. To test this possibility, an experiment was carried out in which a pair of copper “pins” was attached to the base plate of an X-band cavity normally used to study pulsed heating. Melting was observed between the pins when the predicted peak temperature was near or exceeded the copper melting temperature.

THPRI079 RF BREAKDOWN IN A GAS-FILLED TE01 CAVITY 3952

  An L-band (1.3 GHz) TE01 mode pillbox cavity has been designed to study rf breakdown in gas. Since there are no surface electric fields, effects from the electron interaction with the surface should not be present as in the DC breakdown case. A CCD camera was used to measure the integrated light pattern through holes in the cavity, and an ultrafast diode was used to observed the evolution of the plasma during breakdown. Some preliminary results of the tests are presented in this paper.
