MOOCA01 | High Power Test Results of the SPARC C-Band Accelerating Structures | controls, klystron, vacuum, operation | 39 |
|
|||
The energy upgrade of the SPARC photo-injector at LNF-INFN (Italy) from 150 to more than 240 MeV will be done by replacing a low gradient S-Band accelerating structure with two C-band structures. The structures are Traveling Wave (TW) and Constant Impedance (CI), have symmetric axial input couplers and have been optimized to work with a SLED RF input pulse. In the paper we present the results of the low and high power RF tests on the two final fabricated structures that shown the feasibility of the operation at accelerating gradients larger than 35 MV/m. | |||

TUPME081 | Plasma Wakefield Acceleration at CLARA PARS | plasma, simulation, wakefield, electron | 1544 |
|
|||
PARS is a proposed Plasma Accelerator Research Station using the planned CLARA (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications) electron linear accelerator at Daresbury Laboratory in the UK. In this paper, two- dimensional particle-in-cell simulations based on realistic CLARA beam parameters are presented. The results show that an accelerating gradient of 2.0 GV/m can be achieved over an accelerating length of at least 13 cm. Preliminary simulation results for a two bunch scheme show an energy gain of 70% over a length of 13 cm, giving an average accelerating gradient of 1.2 GeV/m. | |||

WEOCA02 | Recent Results from CTF3 Two Beam Test Stand | HOM, wakefield, experiment, diagnostics | 1880 |
|
|||
From mid-2012, the Two Beam Test Stand (TBTS) in the CTF3 Experimental Facility is hosting 2 high gradient accelerating structures powered by a single power extraction and transfer structure in a scheme very close to the CLIC basic cell. We report here about the results obtained with this configuration as: energy gain and energy spread in relation with RF phases and power, octupolar transverse beam effects compared with modeling predictions, breakdown rate and breakdown locations within the structures. These structures are the first to be fitted with Wake Field Monitors (WFM) that have been extensively tested and used to further improve the structures alignment on the beam line. These results show the unique capabilities of this test stand to conduct experiments with real beams. | |||

WEOAB03 | Linear Electron Acceleration in THz Waveguides | electron, linac, acceleration, laser | 1896 |
|

Funding: Supported by DARPA N66001-11-1-4192, CFEL DESY, DOE DEFG02-10ER46745, DOE DE-FG02-08ER41532, ERC Synergy Grant 609920 and NSF DMR-1042342. We report the first experimental demonstration of linear electron acceleration using an optically generated single cycle THz pulse centered at 0.45 THz. 7 keV of acceleration is achieved using 10 microJ THz pulses in a 3 mm interaction length. The THz pulse is produced via optical rectification of a 1.2 mJ, 1 micron laser pulse with a 1 kHz repetition rate. The THz pulse is coupled into a dielectric-loaded circular waveguide with 10 MeV/m on-axis accelerating gradient. A 25 fC input electron bunch is produced with a 60 keV DC photo-emitting cathode. The achievable accelerating gradient in the THz structures being investigated will scale rapidly by increasing the IR pulse energy (100 mJ - 1 J) and correspondingly the THz pulse energy. Additionally, with recent advances in the generation of THz pulses via optical rectification, in particular improvements to efficiency and generation of multi-cycle pulses, GeV/m accelerating gradients could be achieved. An ultra-compact high-gradient THz accelerator would be of interest for a wide variety of applications. |

WEPME015 | High-gradient Test Results from a CLIC Prototype Accelerating Structure: TD26CC | damping, linac, target, vacuum | 2285 |
|
|||
The CLIC study has progressively tested prototype accelerating structures which incorporate an ever increasing number of features which are needed for a final version installed in a linear collider. The most recent high power test made in the CERN X-band test stand, Xbox-1, is a of a CERN-built prototype which includes damping features but also compact input and output power couplers, which maximize the overall length to active gradient ratio of the structure. The structure’s high-gradient performance, 100 MV/m and low breakdown rate, matches previously tested structures validating both CERN fabrication and the compact coupler design. | |||

WEPRI002 | Status and First Results of Two High Beta Prototype Elliptical Cavities for ESS | cavity, cryomodule, operation, niobium | 2477 |
|
|||
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. | |||

WEPRI011 | Progress of R&D on SRF Cavities at DESY towards the ILC Performance Goal | cavity, SRF, factory, electron | 2499 |
|
|||
Funding: BMBF project 05H12GU9, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, CRISP (No. 283745) and ”Construction of New Infrastructures-Preparatory Phase” ILC-HiGrade (No. 206711) of the EU 7th FP7/2007-2013 Programme. 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. |

WEPRI066 | Recent Progress in Nb3Sn SRF Cavity Development at Cornell | cavity, niobium, SRF, cryogenics | 2641 |
|
|||
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. | |||

THPME021 | Designs of High-intensity Proton Linacs with Non-equipartitioning | linac, emittance, cavity, proton | 3262 |
|
|||
Superconducting technology is playing more and more important roles in high-power proton linacs. Periodic phase advance less than 90 degrees and equipartitioning design are considered very important principles in linac design. Due to the very high construction and operation costs, it is very important in optimizing the design to lower the costs. In usual, the longitudinal emittance is larger from the front-end, thus the transverse phase advance is designed to have a larger value. However, with the technical advancement, higher accelerating field can be obtained. In order to take this advantage, it is of much interest in increasing the longitudinal phase advance to shorten the linac or reduce the cost. In this paper, we present the design method that keeping the longitudinal phase advance as large as possible but smaller than 90 degree to maximize the use of the available accelerating gradient. Even though this method does not observe the equipartitioning condition, we can also obtain very good beam dynamics results by placing the tunes in resonant-free regions. In this paper, the design and simulation results by applying this method to the SPL and China-ADS linac will be present. | |||
