	In the framework of the UA9 experiment, the Cherenkov detector is useful to measure the amount of particles deflected by a bent crystal, proving the crystal collimation principle. The tank used to host this device is taken as a case study for an in-depth analysis of different damping strategies for electromagnetic modes which otherwise would give rise to important beam-coupling impedance contributions. Such strategies involve the use of ferrite, damping resistors and a mode-coupler, a solution which intercepts the modes inside the cavity but damps the related power outside the vacuum tank (potentially avoiding heating). Such solutions are discussed through experimental measurements and the relative quality factor is taken as a figure of merit.

WEPMN070	Measurement Techniques and Application of Combined Parallel/Orthogonal Magnetic Bias on a Ferrite Tuned Resonator in Low Frequency Range (3-10 MHz)	3087
	G. Favia, F. Caspers, M. Morvillo, C. Rossi, C. Vollinger CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	We present several measurement methods for evaluation of magnetic properties of magnetically biased and non-biased ferrite samples in a coaxial test fixture. One important aspect is the crosscheck of results obtained by using different and independent measurement and evaluation methods. Since a rather high DC bias current has to be applied, a dedicated network was designed that allows the passage of up to 50 A DC without degradation of the RF performance. With a combination of calibration methods and a compensating topology with two identical sample holders, a good performance was achieved. In this context, magnetic material parameters for about 10 different types of ferrite were obtained. The orthogonal magnetic bias was added by placing the entire test fixture into a large toroidal coil. Thus, the bias field can be supplied independently from, and in addition to the classical parallel bias. An optimal combination between the two biasing fields was found, resulting in a reduction of magnetic losses up to 50% on certain ferrites. We show that the mixed magnetization, normally used for garnets only, is beneficial also for other types of ferrites.

WEPHA023	Ferrite-tuner Development for 80 MHz Single-Cell RF-Cavity Using Orthogonally Biased Garnets	3159
	C. Vollinger, F. Caspers CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	In the frame of the LHC Injector Upgrade program involving the existing 80 MHz cavities in the CERN PS accelerator, an orthogonally biased ferrite tuner is foreseen to complement the current motor-driven piston tuner. This ferrite tuner shall provide the possibility of a fast frequency shift of about 200 kHz on the fundamental mode, to allow a fast switching between proton and ion frequencies. In order to avoid water cooling and related issues, the challenge was to bring magnetic losses in the tuner to a minimum such that a forced air cooling scheme will be sufficient. The tuner was first designed with simulation tools, a prototype was built and low-power RF testing was performed on the tuner-cavity combination to evaluate tuning range, bandwidth, and stability. These tests were carried out on a single-cell copper RF cavity mock-up with a resonance frequency of 88 MHz, where the ferrite tuner is connected via a tuning loop and the perpendicular magnetic bias for ferrite tuner is provided by a DC bias supply. Simulations and test data will be presented.

WEPHA024	Preliminary Design of a Perpendicular Biased Ferrite Loaded Accelerating Cavity	3163
	J. Eberhardt, F. Caspers, C. Vollinger CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	A ferrite loaded accelerating cavity with a frequency sweep of 18 to 40 MHz is studied for a possible upgrade of the CERN accelerator complex. The resonance frequency of a ferrite loaded cavity shifts by applying an external magnetic bias field to the ferrite material by means of changing the relative permeability. We present the electromagnetic design of such a cavity with a special emphasis on the modeling of the nonlinear, anisotropic and dispersive characteristics of the ferrite’s relative permeability above magnetic saturation. For experimental crosscheck, a ferrite loaded resonant test setup was built which provides results for the material performance in a magnetic bias field. A comparison of numerical simulations and experimental measurements is shown and calculations are benchmarked by measurement data. Based on this study a preliminary design of a ferrite loaded accelerating cavity is described.
