TUPJE080 | First Beam and High-Gradient Cryomodule Commissioning Results of the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator at Fermilab | 1831 |
|
||
Funding: Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the United States Department of Energy. The advanced superconducting test accelerator at Fermilab has accelerated electrons to 20 MeV and, separately, the International Linear Collider (ILC) style 8-cavity cryomodule has achieved the ILC performance milestone of 31.5 MV/m per cavity. When fully completed, the accelerator will consist of a photoinjector, one ILC-type cryomodule, multiple accelerator R&D beamlines, and a downstream beamline to inject 300 MeV electrons into the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA). We report on the results of first beam, the achievement of our cryomodule to ILC gradient specifications, and near-term future plans for the facility. |

WEPTY045 | High-Intensity Proton RFQ Accelerator Fabrication Status for PXIE | 3375 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the Office of Science, U.S. Department of Energy under DOE contract number DE-AC02-05CH11231 PXIE is a prototype front end system for the proposed PIP-II accelerator upgrade at Fermilab. An integral component of the front end is a 162.5 MHz, normal conducting, CW (continuous wave), radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) cavity that was designed and is being fabricated by LBNL. This RFQ will accelerate a continuous stream of up to 10mA of H− ions from 30 keV to 2.1 MeV. The four-vane, 4.45 meter long RFQ consists of four modules, each constructed from 2 pairs of identical modulated vanes. Vane modulations are machined using a custom carbide cutter designed at LBNL. Other machined features include ports for slug tuners, pi-mode rods, sensing loops, vacuum pumps and RF couplers. Vanes at the entrance and exit possess cutbacks for RF matching to the end plates. The vanes and pi-mode rods are bonded via hydrogen brazing with Cusil wire alloy. The brazing process mechanically bonds the RFQ vanes together and vacuum seals the module along its length. Vane fabrication is successfully completed, and the braze process has proved successful. Delivery of the full RFQ beam-line is expected in the middle of 2015. |
