TI - Exploration of Multi-fold Symmetry Element-loaded Superconducting Radio Frequency Structure for Reliable Acceleration of Low- & Medium-Beta Ion Species J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - Reliable acceleration of low- to medium-beta proton or heavy ion species is needed for future high current superconducting radio frequency accelerators. Due to the high-Q nature of a superconducting RF resonator, it is sensitive to many factors such as loading variation (from either the accelerated beam or from parasitic field emitted electrons), mechanical vibration, and liquid helium bath pressure fluctuation etc. To increase the stability against those factors, a mechanically strong and stable RF structure is desirable. Guided by this consideration, multi-fold symmetry element-loaded superconducting radio frequency structures, cylindrical tanks with multiple (n>=3) rod-shaped radial elements, are being explored. The top goal of its optimization is to improve mechanical stability. A natural consequence of this structure is a lowered ratio of the peak surface electromagnetic field to the acceleration gradient as compared to the traditional spoke cavity. A disadvantage of this new structure is an increased size for a fixed resonant frequency and optimal beta. This paper describes the optimization of EM design and preliminary mechanical analysis for such structures.
