WEPMA037 | Manufacturing and First Test Results of Euclid SRF Conical Half-wave Resonator | 2841 |
|
||
Funding: This Work is supported by the DOE SBIR Program, contract # DE-SC0006302. Euclid TechLabs has developed a superconducting conical half-wave resonator (162.5 MHz β=v/c=0.11) for the high-intensity proton accelerator complex proposed at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The main objective of this project is to provide a resonator design with high mechanical stability based on an idea of the balancing cavity frequency shifts caused by external loads. A unique cavity side-tuning option has been successfully implemented. Niowave, Inc. proposed a complete cavity production procedure including preparation of technical drawings, processing steps and resonator high-gradient tests. During manufacturing a series of cavity and helium vessel modifications to simplify their manufacturing were proposed. Following standard buffered chemical polish surface treatment and high-pressure rinse, a vertical test was carried out at Niowave’s facilities. Here we present the status of the project and the first high-gradient results. |

WEPTY082 | High Gradient Testing of the Five-cell Superconducting RF Module with a PBG Coupler Cell | 3471 |
|
||
We report results of high-gradient testing of the first 5- cell superconducting radio frequency (SRF) module with a photonic band gap cell (PBG). Higher order mode (HOM) damping is vital for preserving the quality of high-current electron beams in novel SRF accelerators. Because HOMs are not confined by the PBG array, they can be effectively damped in order to raise the current threshold for beam instabilities. The PBG design increases the real-estate gradient of the linac because both HOM damping and the fundamental power coupling can be done through the PBG cell instead of via the beam pipe at the ends of the cavity. A superconducting multi-cell cavity with a PBG damping cell is therefore an attractive option for high-current linacs. The first-ever SRF multi-cell cavity incorporating a PBG cell was designed a LANL and built at Niowave Inc. The cavity was tuned to a desired gradient profile and underwent surface treatment at Niowave. A vertical test (VTS) was then performed at LANL, demonstrating an abnormally low cavity quality factor in the accelerating mode of 1.6*106. Future tests are proposed to determine the source of the losses and resolve the problem. | ||

WEPTY083 | Five-cell Superconducting RF Module with a PBG Coupler Cell: Design and Cold Testing of the Copper Prototype | 3475 |
|
||
We report the design and experimental data for a copper prototype of a superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) accelerator module. The five-cell module has an incorporated photonic band gap (PBG) cell with couplers. The purpose of the PBG cell is to achieve better higher order mode (HOM) damping which is vital for preserving the quality of highcurrent electron beams. Better HOM damping raises the current threshold for beam instabilities in novel SRF accelerators. The PBG design also increases the real-estate gradient of the linac because both HOM damping and the fundamental power coupling can be done through the PBG cell instead of on the beam pipe via complicated end assemblies. First, we will discuss the design and accelerating properties of the structure. The five-cell module was optimized to provide good HOM damping while maintaining the same accelerating properties as conventional elliptical-cell modules. We will then discuss the process of tuning the structure to obtain the desired accelerating gradient profile. Finally, we will list measured quality factors for the accelerating mode and the most dangerous HOMs. | ||

WEPWI051 | Update on the CeC POP 704 MHz 5-Cell Cavity Cryomodule Design and Fabrication | 3603 |
|
||
Funding: Work is supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the US DOE. A 5-cell SRF cavity operating at 704 MHz will be used for the Coherent Electron Cooling Proof of Principle (CeC PoP) system currently under development for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The CeC PoP experiment will demonstrate the ability of relativistic electrons to cool a single bunch of heavy ions in RHIC. The cavity will accelerate 2 MeV electrons from a 112 MHz SRF gun up to 22 MeV. Novel mechanical designs, including the helium vessel, vacuum vessel, tuner mechanism, and FPC are presented. This paper provides an overview of the design, the project status and schedule of the 704 MHz 5-cell SRF for the CeC PoP experiment. . |
