MOP010 | A Fast Chopper for the Fermilab High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS) | linac, vacuum, high-voltage, simulation | 73 |
|
|||
A fast chopper capable of kicking single 2.5 MeV H- bunches, spaced at 325 MHz, at rates greater than 50 MHz is needed for the Fermilab High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS). Four 1.2 kV fast pulsers, designed and manufactured by Kentech Instruments Ltd., will drive a ~0.5m long meander made from a copper plated ceramic composite. Test results showing pulses from the prototype 1.2 kV pulser propagating down the meander will be presented. |

MOP090 | Scattering Matrix Simulations of Fields and Dispersion Relations in Superconducting Cavities for XFEL and ILC | scattering, coupling, cavity, simulation | 287 |
|
|||
The globalised scattering matrix (GSM) method provides an efficient means of obtaining the electromagnetic field in interconnected multi-cavity structures. In the proposed XFEL at DESY and the ILC facilities, energetic electron beams can readily excite higher order modes which if left unchecked can dilute the emittance of the beams. The GSM in conjunction with finite element modelling of the scattering matrices of the linac cavities is used to enable the characteristic eigenmodes to be rapidly obtained and the potential for trapped modes is investigated. This characteristic eigensystem allows the wakefield experienced by the beam to be analysed and the consequences on beam quality ascertained. The impact of fabrication errors on the transverse electromagnetic field and corresponding resonant frequencies of the modes is also explored in detailed simulations. |

TUP057 | Design and Fabrication of CLIC Test Structures | damping, HOM, accelerating-gradient, wakefield | 533 |
|
|||
Demonstration of a gradient of 100 MV/m at a breakdown rate of 10-7 is one of the key feasibility issues of the CLIC project. A high power rf test program both at X-band (SLAC and KEK) and 30 GHz (CERN) is under way to develop accelerating structures reaching this performance. The test program includes the comparison of structures with different rf parameters, with/without wakefield damping waveguides, and different fabrication technologies namely quadrant bars and stacked disks. The design and objectives of the various X-band and 30 GHz structures are presented and their fabrication methods and status is reviewed. |

THP024 | Initial Study on the Shape Optimisation of the CLIC Crab Cavity | cavity, dipole, beam-loading, coupling | 833 |
|
|||
The CLIC linear collider will require a crab cavity to align bunches prior to collision. Consideration of the bunch structure leads us to favour the use of X-band copper cavities. Due to the large variation of train to train beam loading, it is necessary to minimise the consequences of beam loading. One solution is to use a travelling wave structure with a large group velocity allowing rapid propagation of amplitude errors from the system. Such a design makes this structure significantly different from previous travelling wave deflecting structures. This paper will look at the implications of this on other cavity parameters and the optimization of the cavity geometry. |

THP049 | Optimization of Spiral-Loaded Cavities Using the 3D Code OPERA/SOPRANO | cavity, resonance, simulation, insertion | 900 |
|
|||
Rebunching cavities are today routinely used for matching a beam of charged particles between different accelerator structures, and thus optimizing the overall transmission and beam quality. At low resonance frequencies, unnecessary large dimensions of these cavities can be avoided by using spiral-loaded cavities. The optimization of these structures is a complicated process in which a wide range of different parameters have to be modified essentially in parallel. In this contribution, we investigate in detail the characteristics of a model structure with the 3D code OPERA/SOPRANO. This includes the optimization of the structure in terms of the spiral geometry for a given resonance frequency, the investigation of power losses on the inner surfaces, and the possibility of cavity tuning by means of a tuning cylinder. |

THP058 | Accelerating Structure for C-Band Electron Linear Accelerator Optimization | electron, coupling, vacuum, cavity | 921 |
|
|||
The results of analysis and comparison of different linear accelerator designs for 10 MeV facility powered by 4.5 MW klystron on 5712 MHz operation frequencies presented. Several concepts of accelerator including standing wave and traveling wave ones with either rf or magnetic focusing were considered. Cells geometry and beam dynamics parameters in these types of accelerators featuring high capture factor were obtained using numeric simulation methods. The computer simulation code for traveling wave linac optimization based on beam dynamics with space charge consideration was developed. Accelerating structures and input coupler for traveling wave linac along with standing wave one were designed. The task of energy variation was solved. |

THP059 | The Cut Disk Structure Parameters for Medium Proton Energy Range | coupling, septum, proton, linac | 924 |
|
|||
For intense proton beam acceleration the structure aperture diameter should be ~30 mm. With such aperture room temperature coupled cell accelerating structures have the maximal effective shunt impedance Ze at operating frequency ~650 MHz. For this frequency well known Side Coupled Stricture (SCS), Disk and Washer Structure (DAW), Annular Coupled Structure (ACS) have large transversal dimension, leading to essential technological problems. The Cut Disk Structure (CDS) has been proposed to join high Ze and coupling coefficient kc values, but preferably for high energy linacs. In this report parameters of the four windows CDS option are considered at operating frequency ~700 MHz for proton energy range from 80 MeV to 200 MeV. The cells diameter ~30 cm and kc ~0.12 result naturally, but Ze value is of (0.7-0.9) from Ze value for SCS (kc=0.03). Small cells diameter opens possibility of CDS applications for twice lower frequency and structure parameters at operating frequency ~ 350 MHz are estimated too. Cooling conditions for heavy duty cycle operation are considered. |

THP062 | Design of an X-Band Accelerating Structure for the CLIC Main Linac | damping, linac, HOM, accelerating-gradient | 933 |
|
|||
The rf design of an accelerating structure for the CLIC main linac is presented. The structure is designed to provide 100 MV/m averaged accelerating gradient at 12 GHz with an rf-to-beam efficiency as high as 27.7%. The design takes into account both aperture and HOM damping requirements coming from beam dynamics as well as the limitations related to rf breakdown and pulsed surface heating. |

THP064 | Development Status of the Pi-Mode Accelerating Structure (PIMS) for Linac4 | cavity, coupling, linac, vacuum | 939 |
|
|||
The high-energy section of Linac4, between 100 and 160 MeV, will be made of a sequence of 12 seven-cell accelerating cavities of the Pi-Mode Structure (PIMS) type, resonating at 352 MHz. Compared to other structures used in this energy range, cavities operating in pi-mode with a low number of cells have the advantage of simplified construction and tuning, compensating for the fact that the shunt impedance is about 10% lower because of the lower frequency. Field stability in steady state and in presence of transients is assured by the low number of cells and by the relatively high coupling factor of 5%. Standardising the linac rf ystem to a single frequency is considered as an additional economical and operational advantage. The mechanical design of the PIMS will be very similar to that of the 352 MHz normal conducting 5-cell LEP accelerating cavities, which have been successfully operated at CERN for 15 years. After reviewing the basic design principles, the paper will focus on the tuning strategy, on the field stability calculations and on the mechanical design. It will also report the results of measurement on a cold model and the design of a full-scale prototype. |

THP065 | Shunt Impedance Studies in the ISIS Linac | linac, DTL, simulation, cavity | 942 |
|
|||
The ISIS linac consists of four DTL tanks that accelerate a 50 pps, 20 mA H- beam up to 70 MeV before injecting it into an 800 MeV synchrotron. Over the last decades, the linac has proved to be a strong and reliable injector for ISIS, which is a significant achievement considering that two of the tanks are more than 50 years old. At the time the machine was designed, the limited computing power available and the absence of 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation codes, made the creation of a linac optimized for power efficiency almost impossible, so from this point of view, the ISIS linac is quite simple by today's standards. In this paper, we make a shunt impedance comparison study using the power consumption data collected from ISIS and the results obtained when simulating each of the four DTL tanks with 2D and 3D EM codes. The comparison will allow us to check the accuracy of our simulation codes and models and to assess their relative performance. It is particularly important to benchmark these codes against real data, in preparation for their use in the design of a proposed new linac, which will replace the currently aging ISIS injector. |
