We have launched a 5-year research program to develop superconducting spoke cavity for laser Compton scattered (LCS) photon sources. For realizing a wide use of LCS X-ray and gamma-ray sources in academic and industrial applications, we adopt 325-MHz superconducting spoke cavity to electron beam drivers for the LCS sources. The spoke cavity, originally invented for ion and proton acceleration, can be used for electron accelerators, in which we can make best use of features of spoke cavity: relative compactness in comparison with a TM cavity of the same frequency, robustness with respect to manufacturing inaccuracy due to its strong cell-to-cell coupling, couplers on outer conductor for the better packing in a linac, and so on. In this paper, we present our research plan and results of cavity shape optimization.

WEPME024 Power Coupler Manufacturing and Quality Control at CPI 2308
 
  • S.J. Einarson, T.A. Treado
    CPI, Beverley, Massachusetts, USA
 
  CPI has been designing and manufacturing fundamental power couplers for superconducting accelerators for over a dozen years. We have manufactured approximately 200 power couplers of 16 different designs. Power coupler frequencies have ranged from 175 MHz to 3.9 GHz and power levels have ranged from 5 kW to 500 kW average power. We have developed and qualified several key manufacturing processes including a high-RRR copper plating process and a titanium nitride coating process. In addition, we have established uniform quality control and inspection processes which ensure that the power couplers will meet the requirements for the intended use in superconducting accelerators. These processes have been developed, improved and/or qualified in collaboration with colleagues at superconducting accelerator facilities throughout the world. This paper will provide an overview of these critical manufacturing and quality control processes.

  Superconducting coatings for superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities is an intensively developing field that should ultimately lead to acceleration gradients better than those obtained by bulk Nb RF cavities. ASTeC has built and developed experimental systems for superconducting thin-film deposition, surface analysis and measurement of Residual Resistivity Ratio (RRR). Nb thin-films were deposited by magnetron sputtering in DC or pulsed DC mode (100 to 350 kHz with 50% duty cycle) with powers ranging from 100 to 600 W at various temperatures ranging from room temperature to 800 °C on Si (100) substrates. The first results gave RRR in the range from 2 to 22 with a critical temperature Tc=~9.5 K. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD) and DC SQUID magnetometry revealed significant correlations between the film structure, morphology and superconducting properties.

  The 101 cryomodules of the XFEL cold linac will be integrated at Saclay under the CEA responsability by the industrial operator ALSYOM, at the production rate of cryomodule per week. Each cryomodule includes a string of 8 Niobium superconducting cavities and a BPM-quadripole unit (downstream end). To avoid particle contamination of the RF cavities, the strings are assembled in an ISO4 cleanroom by following strict cleaning and high-vacuum procedures. The major technical challenge of the string integration thus lies in the capacity to realize 25 connections in two weeks while protecting the cavity and coupler RF surfaces and to check their leak-tightness up to 10-10 hPA.l/s. The partial demonstration was made by the CEA team with the first pre-series module XM-3 which achieves a total accelerating voltage of 232 MV preserving the individual performances of cavities. In this paper the status and challenges of the production line is presented, including the quality management, equipment and operator training aspects. The optimisation process toward a faster assembly while preserving or actually decreasing the cavity exposure to contamination sources is also described.

  Two prototypes of elliptical superconducting cavities have been designed and manufactured in the frame of the French-Swedish agreement for ESS. These 5-cell cavities have a beta value of 0.86 and their frequency is 704.42 MHz. The nominal accelerating gradient on the ESS accelerator is 19.9 MV/m at 2K. We present the manufacturing status of the cavities by two different vendors as well as the specific means which have been developed for the cavity treatments performed at CEA after delivery. We emphasis the activities performed on the first bare cavities recently received at CEA such as the RF measurement and tuning operations, the cleaning and chemical treatments and the clean room assembly including high pressure rinsing. Finally, first test results at 2K in vertical cryostat are reported.

  In the SOLEIL storage ring, two cryomodules provide to the electron beam an accelerating voltage of 3-4 MV and a power of 575 kW at 352 MHz. Each cryomodule contains a pair of superconducting cavities, cooled with liquid Helium at 4.5 K, which is supplied by a single 350 W cryogenic plant. The RF power is provided by four solid state amplifiers, each delivering up to 180 kW. The parasitic impedances of the high order modes (HOM) are strongly mitigated by means of four coaxial couplers, located on the central pipe connecting the two cavities. Eight years of operational experience with this system, as well as its upgrades, are reported.

The BERLinPro project is a compact, c.w. SRF energy recovery linac (ERL) that is being built to develop the accelerator physics and technology required to operate the next generation of high current ERLs. The machine is designed to produce a 50 MeV 100 mA beam, with better than 1 mm-mrad emittance. The electron source for the ERL will be a SRF photoinjector equipped with a multi-alkali photocathode. In order to produce a SRF photoinjector to operate reliably at this beam current HZB has undertaken a 3 stage photoinjector development program to study the operation of SRF photoinjectors in detail. The 1.4 cell cavity being reported on here is the second stage of this development, and represents the first cavity designed by HZB for use with a high quantum efficiency multi-alkali photocathode. This paper will describe the work done to prepare the cavity for RF testing in the vertical testing dewar at Jefferson Laboratory as well as the results of these RF tests.

The BERLinPro project, under construction at HZB, is a 100 mA, 50 MeV superconducting RF (SRF) energy recovery linac (ERL) being built to study the accelerator physics of operating a high current SRF ERL. For this high current operation, coaxial RF power couplers capable of handling 130 kW of power, c.w. at 1.3 GHz are required for both the SRF gun and booster cavities. In order to achieve this power level a coupler has been designed based on the high power coupler currently in use at the KEK-cERL. A key improvement that was made to the coupler was the modification of the coupler tip, termed a golf-tee. This modification is incorporated so as to achieve the desired coupling, Qext ~105, with minimal coupler penetration into the beampipe. Herein, we discuss the RF design and properties of the high-power coaxial coupler for the gun as well as booster cavity of BERLinPro, along with the design of the test stand for conditioning a pair of couplers.

WEPRI007 Booster Cavity and Fundamental Power Coupler Design Issues for BERLinPro 2490

HZB has started building the 50MeV, 100mA demonstrator energy-recovery-linac (ERL) facility BERLinPro. The high power injector system needs to deliver this beam at 6.5MeV by combining the energy gain of a 1.4 cell SRF photo-injector and three Cornell style 2-cell booster cavities. One booster cavity will be operated at zero-crossing for bunch energy chirping. Thus two booster cavities have to deliver 2MV each requiring a strong coupling with a loaded Q of 105. To house the two envisaged KEK fundamental power couplers (FPC) with the cavity, the geometry was slightly modified. Further, to increase coupling and reduce transverse kick effects to the beam, a ”golf-tee” antenna tip was designed. This paper summarizes the SRF challenges for the booster cavities, the operational conditions and the modification to the KEK couplers, including tracking calculations to estimate the coupler kick effect to higher order.

Recently HZB proposed an upgrade of the 3rd generation synchrotron light source BESSY II allowing simultanous long and short pulse operation*. For this scheme to work superconducting higher harmonic cavities of the fundamental 500 MHz at two frequencies need to be installed in the BESSY II storage ring. Given an appropiate choice of the higher harmonics the resulting gradient leads to a beating effect of the effective longitudinal focussing voltage at the stable fix points resulting in different bunch lengths in subsequent buckets. This project places stringent requirements on the cavity performance, as high accelerating fields, excellent HOM damping capabilities and high reliability as they will operate in a 300 mA 24/7 user facility. In this paper we describe the requirements for the cavity design and first designs steps.

WEPRI009 Parameter Studies and Geometry Optimization on Superconducting Multicell RF Cavity Resonators 2496

Modern accelerator concepts for high intensity electron beams often require superconducting multicell RF-cavity-resonators in circular accelerators (e.g. storage rings). Caused by strong beam-cavity interaction and due to high quality factors of superconducting RF-structures special care of lower order (LOM) and higher order (HOM) modes must be taken. Various numerical studies were performed to numerically calculate the dependence of different figures of merit (e.g. external quality factors Qext) with respect to the geometry parameters and cell number of the RF-structure, focused on the propagation and damping of low and higher order modes. To ease the numerical effort an optimization routine has been developed which automatically optimizes the geometry based on goal functions. In this context it turned out that cell geometries defined by spline functions have advantages compared to the standard elliptical parametrization regularly used. The number of free parameters is substantially reduced which facilitates the search for optimum solutions.

The R&D program of the ILC-HiGrade group at DESY aims at a solid understanding and control of the industrial mass-production process of the superconducting radio-frequency accelerating cavities that are being manufactured for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EXFEL). This accelerator is currently under construction at DESY. As well as the main production cavities for XFEL, 24 additional cavities are being constructed as part of the ILC-HiGrade program. The goal is to identify the gradient-limiting factors and further refine the cavity-treatment technique to understand how to achieve gradients above 35 MV/m at >90% production yield in an industrial context. Techniques such as 2nd sound and temperature mapping for the quench detection, OBACHT optical inspections, as well as Centrifugal Barrel Polishing (CBP) and Local Grinding repair are foreseen as tools. Actual status, details, and achievements will be reported.

The new low-beta conical Half-Wave Resonator (cHWR) is suggested for CW proton accelerators of new generation with relatively low beam loading, where frequency detune caused by microphonics and helium pressure fluctuations is essential. This particular design, considered in the paper, has operation frequency of 162.5 MHz, b=v/c=0.11, and is suitable for the first section of the PIP-II superconducting accelerator which is under development at Fermilab. The main idea of the cHWR design is to provide a self-compensation cavity design together with its helium vessel to minimize the resonant frequency dependence on external loads. A unique cavity side-tuning option is also under development. Niowave, Inc. proposed a series of cavity and helium vessel modifications to simplify their manufacturing. The whole set of numerical simulations has been generated to verify that the main parameters of the initial structure design were not affected by the proposed modifications. Here we present the main results of the cavity and helium vessel modified design.

For the multiturn accelerator MESA it is planned to employ superconducting technology for the main linac, which is supposed to provide an energy gain of 50 MeV per turn. As continuous wave operation is mandatory for the experiments, it is important to minimise the cryogenic losses, hence to find cavities and the corresponding cryomodule meeting the framework conditions for the accelerator. The findings and the current statuts will be reported.

  Structures of alternating layers of superconducting (Sc) and insulating films formed on a bulk Sc proposed by A. Gurevich in 2006 are actively discussed these years, because of their great possibility in reducing power consumptions and in enhancing RF breakdown field of the Sc RF cavity. On Apr. 2013, we submitted general formulae for the vortex penetration field of the Sc layer and the shielded magnetic field on the bulk Sc for a structure with a single Sc layer and a single insulator layer formed on a bulk Sc, by which a combination of the thicknesses of Sc and insulator layers that can realize the enhanced RF breakdown field can be found for any given materials. In this contribution, we will show progresses during the last year. Comparisons between the formulae and experimental results, and extended formulae for more realistic models, such as a model with surface defects, will be shown.

  We had been constructing a new facility for the fabrication of superconducting RF cavity at KEK from 2009 to 2011. In the facility, we have installed a deep-drawing machine, a half-cup trimming machine, an electron-beam welding machine, and a chemical etching room in one place. We started the studies on the fabrication of 9-cell cavity for International Linear Collier (ILC) using this facility. The studies are focusing on the cost reduction with keeping high performance of cavity, and the goal is the establishment of mass-production procedure for ILC. We already finished the fabrication of two 9-cell cavities in this facility. This article reports the current status of the studies.

  In 2014, we will start the beam operation in Compact ERL(cERL) by using main linac cryomodule, which contained the two 9-cell cavities. In principle, thanks to the mechanism of energy recovery, the input power of main linac of cERL is very small even if the beam current will be higher than 100mA. Therefore, the coupling is very weak. However, this coupling is perfectly not matched to the unloaded Q-value of the superconducting cavity like 1x1010. The minimum input power will be restricted by the cavity detuning due to the microphonics from the cryomodule itself. We designed the lower loaded Q-valued of (1-4)x107 to reduce the effect of the michrophonics from the expected outer disturbance At present, we successfully suppressed the michrophonics to meet our requirement. However we found the enhancement of the detuning angle when we did not optimize the feedback loop of LLRF. This enhancement will be expected coming from the mechanical resonance frequencies of cavity and/or cryomodule. In this paper, we reported the correlation between the measured microphincs spectrum with LLRF in a beam operation and the results of the measured resonance frequencies spectrum at the test bench.

  cERL project is now progressing. We are carrying on R&D for cERLmain linac consisted of 1.3GHz superconductive cavity. We evaluate slide jack tuner, which is component part of cryomodule. A slide jack tuner has 2 mechanism to tune frequency. One is slide jack mechanism that tunes roughly and the other is piezo mechanism that tunes finely. We carried out basic experiment and cold experiment. We finally confirmed that slide jack tuning system can tuning to target frequency 1.3GHz.

  We have developed a main linac cryomodule, in which two nine-cell HOM damped SRF cavities were mounted, for the Compact ERL (cERL) project in Japan. The main linac cryomodule is operated by a 2K refrigerator system, whose cooling ability is 80W. RF power is fed to each cavity from an IOT or a solid state amplifier. Amplitude and phase of RF stabilization is done by using a digital LLRF system. Cavity resonant frequency is controlled by using mechanical and piezo tuners. Before beam operation, performance test of the cryomodule has been carried out. Generally the cryomodule works well, but heavy field emission is rather problem. After construction of cERL circulation ring, we have a plan to do first beam operation with energy recovery mode, in this winter. Electron beam are accelerated up to 20 MeV. Heavy heat load to 2K Helium, caused by field emission, restrict cavity operation voltage. We report about a series of performance tests and a first experiment from beam operation.

  Higher order modes (HOM) excited in 9-cell superconducting cavities have been studied to detect cavity alignment. Dipole modes have been monitored, since their magnitude is proportional to beam offsets from their electrical centers. Detection of cavity alignment is important for the ILC to confirm alignment accuracy and furthermore possible source of emittance growth. We are particularly interested in beam pipe modes because they are localized in both ends of the cavity. We measured beam-induced HOM in the STF accelerator at KEK in 2012 – 2013. From the results of the measurement, we found some modes whose behaviors are like dipole mode at around 2.1 GHz instead of 2.28 GHz as calculated by R. Wanzenberg for an ideal cavity [TESLA 2001-33, September 2001]. We also measured beam induced HOM in the TESLA superconducting cavities in FLASH at DESY. In order to identify beam pipe modes and to compare the measurement with the calculation, we calculate beam pipe modes of 9-cell superconducting cavity by CST MICROWAVE STUDIO 2012 and HFSS 12. We will discuss about these calculations and the measurement.

Superconducting spoke cavity for laser Compton scattered (LCS) photon sources is under development. The operating frequency is 325-MHz to accelerate electron beam for the LCS sources, where the size of the spoke cavity is less than a elliptical cavities with the same frequency. Because of the complicated shape of the cavity, it may be suffered from a strong multipactor effect. The recent results on the multipactor analysis will be presented.

  The Accelerator Module Test Facility (AMTF) at DESY in Hamburg is dedicated to the tests of RF cavities and accelerating cryomodules for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL). The AMTF hall is equipped with two vertical cryostats, which are used for RF cavities testing and three test benches that will be used for tests of the accelerating cryomodules. Recently, the first cryomodule teststand (XATB3) was commissioned and the first XFEL cryomodule (XM-2) was tested by team of physicists, engineers and technicians from The Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences in Kraków, Poland, as a part of Polish in-kind contribution to XFEL. This paper describes the preparation for the cryomodule test, differences with the old teststands CryoModule Test Bench (CMTB), the cryomodule test and the test procedure updates done at the AMTF test bench. The first test of the accelerating cryomodule on the AMTF was successfully performed and the preliminary test results are presented.

  A chemical polishing process is well-known critical process for improving superconducting cavities such as a quality factor and an acceleration electric filed with additional temperature treatment. Especially, Buffered Chemical Polishing (BCP) has been widely used in SRF (Superconducting Radio Frequency) cavity processing. We performed BCP experiments with 1:1:1 and 1:1:2 of an etchant ratio (HF:HNO3:H3PO4). In fact, BCP experiments were carried out by using both undeformed (as-receoved) and deformed niobium samples. We will report baseline BCP results by analyzing surface states of niobium samples such as optical photographs, etch rates and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) depending on temperature and time.

  The HWR being developed in RISP, Korea is in its final stage of the design. We consider the effects of the stiffeners in the presence of the helium vessel on the various detunings such as cool down, helium pressure fluctuation, Lorentz pressure. The interaction of the stiffened cavity with the helium jacket is studied via the coupled simulation by ANSYS and the optimal specification of the stiffeners are determined. In addition, the expected frequency shift is predicted to establish the target frequency bfor the manufacturing. The effect of the vibrational motion is also studied.

  Currently, applications of 800 MHz harmonic cavities in both bunch lengthening and shortening regimes are under consideration and discussion in the framework of the High Luminosity LHC project. In this paper we study electromagnetic characteristics of high order modes (HOM) for a single cell 800 MHz superconducting cavity and arrays of such cavities connected by drifts tubes. Different techniques for the HOM damping such as beam pipe grooves, coaxial-notch loads, fluted beam pipes etc. are investigated and compared. The influence of the sizes and geometry of the drift tubes on the HOM damping is analyzed.

  The LIPAc SRF Linac is a cryomodule with eight superconducting HWR cavities at 175 MHz powered by RF couplers capable of transmitting up to 200 kW in CW. To prepare the couplers for operation, cleaning and high power RF processing are needed. When performed, the couplers will be ready for integration in the cryomodule. The Couplers Test Bench has been designed to perform the RF conditioning by pairs, providing good matching, low losses and the required UHV level. To preserve the cleanliness of the internal surfaces, after the test bench manufacturing, an ISO5 clean room has been used for the vacuum parts assembly. The size and number of particles was carefully controlled during the assembly process. The RF conditioning was performed at the IFMIF-EVEDA RF Integration Facility using the Prototype RF Module in travelling wave and standing wave modes. The process started with short pulses at low power and finished when full power CW was reached. Vacuum, multipacting, arcs and matching were continuously monitored to control the process avoiding damages. An overview of the process applied to the prototypes and the RF conditioning results are presented in this paper.

WEPRI040 On the Optimal Design of Elliptical Superconducting Cavities 2565

  • G. Costanza
    Lund University, Lund, Sweden
 
  In this paper a linear regression analysis is used to analyze the behavior of the inner cell of an elliptical cavity. The aim is to understand how the RF parameters are correlated to each other and how they are affected by the change of the geometric parameters. This is done by fitting the RF data to a linear model. The data is obtained by simulating a set of different inner cells automatically by the use of a script. The results are useful in several ways: first of all the analysis sheds light on the behavior of elliptical cavities, in particular on its limitations. The analysis is carried out in the framework of optimal design so it is useful for the cavity designer since it allows to choose the geometry at an early stage of the design. It is also possible to make predictions on the performance of the cavity which are in very good agreement with the simulations. Such predictions facilitate the design of the accelerator when choosing the type and number of cavities and when writing the specifications for the cavities to be used in the accelerator.

  The new HIE-ISOLDE accelerator at CERN requires the production of 32 superconducting cavities (20 high-beta and 12 low-beta) in order to increase the energy of the rare isotope beam delivered to the experiments. The Quarter Wave Resonators (QWRs) cavities (0.3m diameter and 0.8m height) are made of OFE 3D-forged copper and are coated by DC-bias diode sputtering with a thin superconducting layer of niobium. Following a preliminary process development phase, the series production of the high-beta cavities has started. An overview of the development phase is presented, describing the key parameters varied to match the HIE-ISOLDE specifications (operation at 4.5 K with an accelerating field of 6 MV/m at 10W RF losses and Q0=4.5x108) and the resulting niobium film characteristics. The first series of cavities, produced using the baseline coating recipe, and their RF performance is reviewed.

  A prototype Superconducting RF (SRF) cryomodule, comprising multiple compact crab cavities is foreseen to realise a local crab crossing scheme for the “Hi-Lumi LHC”, a project launched by CERN to increase the luminosity performance of LHC. A cryomodule with two cavities will be initially installed and tested on the SPS drive accelerator at CERN to evaluate performance with high-intensity proton beams. STFC in collaboration with, University of Lancaster, CERN and FNAL has developed a concept cryomodule that has overcome most of the critical challenges imposed by a series of boundary conditions arising from; the complexity of the cavity design, the requirement for multiple RF couplers, the close proximity to the second LHC beam pipe and the tight space constraints in the SPS tunnel. This paper highlights some of the key design features of the cryomodule with the results of the associated mechanical and thermal analysis.

  The High luminosity upgrade to the LHC (HL-LHC) calls for crab cavities to reduce the luminosity loss due to the crossing angle and help provide luminosity levelling. The 4 Rod Crab Cavity (4RCC) is one of three proposed options under consideration. A bare cavity has been prototyped and has undergone recent vertical tests and the results are presented. The dressed cavity includes a power coupler, a lower order mode coupler and two HOM couplers will be presented and discussed.

WEPRI049 Optimization of Window Position on Diamond SCRF Cavities 2592
 
  • S.A. Pande, C. Christou
    DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
 
  The Diamond storage ring uses CESR type superconducting cavities. These cavities have a fixed coupling resulting in fixed Qext which is considerably higher than the optimum. We use 3 stub tuners to match the cavities under these non-optimum conditions. Diamond Cavity-1 will soon be refurbished. This opportunity could be used to lower the Qext on the cavity. One of the options is to modify the coupling tongue geometry along with a matching section. This may require cutting off the beam tube with the coupler for rework or it may need to be newly fabricated. We investigated another option to lower the Qext of the cavity by optimising the location of the window with respect to the cavity, maintaining the same coupling tongue geometry. The height of the waveguide on the vacuum side of the window differs from that of the coupling waveguide on the cavity resulting in a step. The location of window with respect to the cavity makes a significant difference to the ultimate Qext obtained after putting the window in place. In this paper we present the results of our numerical simulations comparing the present and the proposed window position under different operating conditions.

This paper reports the successful fabrication and test results of a novel 2815 MHz superconducting deflecting cavity operating in a TE-mode trapped in a quasi-waveguide structure with extremely high shunt impedance. The waveguide structure of this cavity allows for the free propagation of all higher order modes (HOMs) out of the cavity via the beam ports, eliminating the need for HOM dampers inside the cavity when operated with high beam current. The absence of HOM dampers greatly simplifies the cavity fabrication and operation at cryogenic temperatures. This cavity with its high shunt impedance is ideal for the spatial rotation of short bunches in a small physical space, a requirement for the generation of sub-picosecond short pulse x-rays in electron storage rings or luminosity upgrades of colliders. Results characterizing the fabrication accuracy and precision, the RF performance at 2 K, and frequency tuning considerations will be discussed here.

  Studies of the phenomenon of Medium field Q-slope (MFQS, 30-80 mT) have been focused predominantly on high beta superconducting cavities. Complementing research on cavity losses with the analysis of low beta cavity data can provide additional insights into the nature of MFQS. We present MFQS measurements of 325MHz β=0.2 single spoke resonators and 650MHz β=0.9 elliptical single cell resonators at vertical test facility at FNAL. We compare our findings with those obtained for high frequency 1.3GHz cavities tested both at the same facility and other laboratories.

The Fermilab Vertical Cavity Test Facility (VCTF) [1] is a used to test production cavities prior to their installation in cryomodules and to characterize the performance of research cavities as part of the extensive SRF cavity R&D program at FNAL. The performance of a variety of SRF cavities (325MHz, 650MHz, 1300MHz; bare and dressed) can be measured at VCTF. Recently FNAL upgraded the facility by adding two additional test stands (VTS2&3) in preparation for production of cavities for two new linear accelerators (LCLS II and PIP II). This paper provides an overview of the design features, technical parameters and experience with first operation of the upgraded RF control and DAQ systems.

  As the surface resistance of superconducting cavities approach the theoretical limits parasitic effects limiting the performance came into focus of current research. One of these effects is that the quality factor of a cavity is impacted by the cooldown rate. We will present results from recent investigations on thermocurrents, driven by the temperature difference between the two material interfaces between the superconducting Niobium cavity and its Titanium helium-vessel, leading to the presence of a magnetic field while the cavity transits to the superconducting state.

  Cornell University has been designing and building superconducting accelerators for various applications for more than 50 years. Currently, an energy-recovery linac (ERL) based synchrotron-light facility is proposed making use of the existing CESR facility. As part of the phase 1 R&D program funded by the NSF, critical challenges in the design were addressed, one of them being a full linac cryo-module. It houses 6 superconducting cavities- operated at 1.8 K in continuous wave (CW) mode - with individual HOM absorbers and one magnet/ BPM section. Pushing the limits, a high quality factor of the cavities (2•1010) and high beam currents (100 mA accelerated plus 100 mA decelerated) are targeted. We will present the status of the main linac cryomodule (MLC) fabrication and the findings on the cavity performance and component testing.

  The superconducting RF linac for LCLS-II calls for 1.3 GHz 9-cell cavities with an average intrinsic quality factor Q0 of 2.7·1010 at 2K and 16 MV/m accelerating gradient. A collaborative effort between Cornell University, FNAL, and JLab has been set up with the goal of developing and demonstrating a cavity treatment protocol for the LCLS-II cavities meeting these specifications. The high Q0 treatment protocol is based on nitrogen doping of the RF surface layer during a high temperature heat treatment. This novel SRF cavity preparation was recently developed at FNAL and shown to result in SRF cavities of very high Q0 at 2K with an increase in Q0 from low to medium fields. N-doped single cell cavities at Cornell, FNAL, and JLab routinely exceed LCLS-II specification. 9-cell N-doped cavities at FNAL achieve an average Q0(T=2K, 16 MV/m) of ≈ 3.4·1010 with an average quench field of ≈ 19 MV/m, meeting therefore overall with good margin the LCLS-II specification.

It is well known that external magnetic fields can cause higher residual resistance in superconducting RF cavities if the field is present during cooldown. However, the effect of cavity preparation and surface mean free path on the resulting residual resistance from magnetic field is less well studied. In this paper, we report on recent studies at Cornell in which two SRF cavities (one nitrogen-doped and one 120oC baked) were cooled through Tc in an applied uniform external magnetic field. Trapped flux and residual resistance were measured for a variety of cooldowns and applied magnetic fields. It was found that the residual resistance due to trapped flux in the nitrogen-doped cavity was three times larger than in the 120oC baked cavity.

Recent results from Cornell and FNAL have shown that superconducting RF cavities given a heat treatment in a nitrogen atmosphere of a few mTorr display an increase in Q0 with increasing accelerating field, opposite to the medium field Q slope usually observed. Three cavities was prepared at Cornell using this method and subsequently tested after different amounts of material removal. Cavity performance and material properties were extracted for each cavity and correlated with material removal. This has given new insights into how material properties and the anti-Q slope depend on cavity preparation.

  A sample-host TE-mode cavity developed at Cornell for the purposes of studying novel superconducting materials has undergone further testing using a niobium sample plate. In initial testing the peak field achieved on the sample plate was (45 ± 4.5) mT, although this was limited by the amount of input power available. New tests have been performed using both an improved RF power system and a temperature mapping system for precision measurements of surface resistance as a function of location on the sample plate. Results of the most recent test, in which the cavity achieved a peak sample plate field of (81 ± 4) mT using a high-RRR niobium sample plate, are presented and future work on the cavity is discussed.

  Nb3Sn coatings on niobium SRF cavities have the potential to significantly reduce cryogenic costs due to their extremely small surface resistance (Rs). In this paper, we present new results showing the repeatability of Cornell's fabrication process, which produces high Q0 cavities that reach medium fields with minimal Q-slope. We also show the results of attempts to smooth RF surfaces and reduce defects via material removal. However, both HF rinsing and centrifugal barrel polishing resulted in strong performance degradation.

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.

WEPRI068 Conceptual Design of an Ideal Variable Coupler for Superconducting Radiofrequency 1.3 GHz Cavities 2648

  We present a new type of fundamental mode accelerator structure coupler. This coupler has a very simplified mechanical structure and is equipped with a novel vacuum window structure that allows the coupler to be divided into two parts. These two parts are fully thermally isolated, only coupled by thermal radiation. The rf power on the other hand get coupled perfectly from one part to the other. This is truly novel approach which is quite different than the conventional approach to this problem such as chock structure. The structure in general is slightly overmoded. We show that this structure can also be adopted to change the coupling coefficient and thus be tuned for an external Q. This could be of great utility for CW operation. We show the analytical and numerical calculation for a two window variable coupler.

Recent work on high-temperature (> 600 °C) heat treatment of ingot Nb cavities in a customized vacuum furnace for several hours showed the possibility of achieving Q0-values of up to ~5×1010 at 2.0 K, 1.5 GHz and accelerating gradients of ~20 MV/m. This contribution presents results on further studies of the heat treatment process to produce cavities with high Q0 values for continuous-wave accelerator application. Single-cell cavities of different Nb purity have been processed through few cycles of heat-treatments and chemical etching. Measurements of Q0 as a function of temperature at low RF field and of Q0 as a function of the RF field at or below 2.0 K have been made after each treatment. Measurements by TOF-SIMS of the impurities’ depth profiles were made on samples heat treated with the cavities.

This contribution presents the results of measurements of the resonant frequency and of strain along the contour of a single-cell cavity made of ingot Nb subjected to increasing uniform differential pressure, up to 6 atm. The data were used to infer mechanical properties of this material after cavity fabrication, by comparison with the results from simulation calculations done with ANSYS. The objective is to provide useful information about the mechanical properties of ingot Nb cavities which can be used in the design phase of SRF cavities intended to be built with this material.

High Power RF couplers are required in a wide range of accelerator projects using superconducting RF cavities. We have proposed a novel robust coax SRF coupler design using two pre-stressed disc windows without the need of additional matching elements. The matching frequency and the power handling capacity can be easily scaled by changing the diameter and the spacing of the windows. In this paper, we will present our latest progress in the fabrication and the testing of the windows.

Ten new C100 cryomodules have been installed for the CEBAF 12GeV upgrade in the last few years. The high order modes (HOM) of these cryomodules need to be controlled to avoid beam breakup (BBU) instability. We surveyed the HOM for all the 80 cavities of the C100 modules in both the JLab cryomodule test facility (CMTF) and the CEBAF tunnel. Additional measures such as waveguide filters were applied to bring down out of spec modes. In this paper, we will present the HOM survey setup and results. The mitigation measures and their effects will also be discussed.

  The LCLS-II project currently under development is designed to accelerate electron bunches up to 4 GeV and transport them to one of two FEL undulators located more than 2 km downstream of the end of the LCLS-II linac. The upgrade requires a spreader system to separate the baseline electron bunches and transport them to two undulator lines or a local dump. Fast bipolar kickers (FK) or transverse electric rf deflectors (RFD) are considered as fast-switching devices (FSD). In the RFD approach described here three design options operating at 325 MHz are studied including a superconducting rf-dipole cavity, a normal conducting rf-dipole cavity, and a normal conducting 4-rod cavity. Optional compact splitting schemes involving a combination of vertical and horizontal initial deflections are addressed.

  Parasitic higher order modes (HOMs) can be severely detrimental to the performance of superconducting cavities. For this reason, the mode spectrum and beam coupling strength must be examined in detail to determine which modes must be damped. One advantage of the spoke cavity geometry is that couplers can be placed on the outer body of the cavity rather than in the beam line space. We present an overview of the HOM properties of spoke cavities and methods for suppressing the most harmful ones.

A superconducting rf dipole cavity has been designed to address the challenges of a high repetition rate (750 MHz), high current for both electron/ion species (0.5/3 A per bunch), and large crossing angle (50 mrad) at the interaction points (IPs) crabbing system for the Medium Energy Electron-Ion Collider (MEIC) proposed by Jefferson Lab. The cavity prototype built at Niowave, Inc. has been tested at the Jefferson Lab facilities. In this work we present a detailed analysis of the prototype cavity performance at 4 K and 2 K, corroborating the absence of hard multipacting barriers that could limit the desired transverse fields, along with the surface resistance (Rs) temperature dependency.

  Superconducting ILC-type cavities have an rf coupler that is welded on. A detachable coupler will reduce conditioning time (can be conditioned separately), reduce cost and improve reliability. The problem with placing an extra flange in the superconducting cavity is creating a possible quench spot. Euclid Techlabs LLC designed a coupler and optimized its geometry that yielding an area on the surface with zero magnetic field (hence zero surface current). By placing a flange in that area we are able to avoid disturbing surface currents that typically lead to a quench. The coupler is optimized to preserve the axial symmetry of the cavity and rf field. The rf test results of this type coupler with a 1.3 GHz ILC-type single-cell cavity at Fermilab will be reported and discussed.

The CeC PoP experiment will demonstrate the new technique of cooling proton and ion beams that may increase the beam luminosity in certain cases, by as much as tenfold. The 704 MHz cavity will accelerate 2 MeV electrons from a 112 MHz SRF gun up 22 MeV. Novel mechanical designs, including a super fluid heat exchanger, helium vessel, vacuum vessel and tuner mechanism are presented. Structural and thermal analysis, using ANSYS were performed to confirm the mechanical tuning system structural stability. This paper provides an overview of the design, the project status and schedule of the 704 MHz 5-cell SRF for CeC PoP experiment.

We report on results of a new investigation into the Q0 degradation phenomenon observed in original CEBAF cavities when assembled into cryomodules. As a result, the RF dissipation losses increased by roughly a factor of two. The origin of the degradation, first observed in 1994, has remained unresolved up to current period, despite much effort. Recently, a new investigation has been launched, taking advantage of the latest cryomodule to undergo refurbishment. Systematic measurements are conducted with respect to the magnetic shielding effects of the double-layer shields and the magnetic properties of various components within the inner shield. This resulted in the new discovery of strongly magnetized strut springs as a major source of remnant magnetic flux near a cavity inside of all magnetic shielding. New springs with superior magnetic properties have been found, evaluated and implemented into the current cryomodule. In this contribution, we will review the data accumulated so far. Options for complete Q0 preservation of assembled cavities and possible Q0 remediation for those 330 cavities already installed in CEBAF will be presented.

The designs of nearly all superconducting RF (SRF) linacs over the last several years, with one notable exception being CEBAF at Jefferson Lab, have assumed pulsed beam operation with relatively low duty factors. These include the XFEL at DESY, the ILC, the original configuration for Project X at Fermilab, as well as several others. Recently proposed projects, on the other hand, including the LCLS-II at SLAC, the newly configured low and medium energy sections for Project X, and FRIB at Michigan State, to name a few, assume continuous wave or CW operation on quite a large scale with ambitious gradients and cavity performance requirements. This has implications in the cavity design as well as in many parts of the overall cryomodule due to higher dynamic heat loads in the cavities themselves and higher heat loads in the input and high-order-mode (HOM) couplers. Piping internal to the cryomodule, the effectiveness of thermal intercepts, the size of integrated heat exchangers, and many other aspects of the overall design are also affected. This paper will describe some of these design considerations as we move toward the next generation of accelerator projects.
