THP006 | 704 MHz High Power Coupler and Cavity Development for High Power Pulsed Proton Linacs | cavity, proton, linac, vacuum | 786 |
|
|||
In the framework of the European CARE-HIPPI program we develop components for superconducting high pulsed power proton linacs at 704 MHz. We have designed, fabricated and tested a beta 0.47 5-cell elliptical cavity with an optimized stiffening to reduce its sensitivity to Lorentz forces. A fast piezo tuner has been developed in order to be able to operate the cavity in pulsed mode in our horizontal test cryostat CryHoLab. We also have carried out the development of a fundamental power coupler. It is designed to transmit a power up to 1 MW at a 10% duty cycle. A high power test area has been setup consisting of a 1.2 MW klystron, a pulsed high voltage power supply and a coupler test stand. |

THP012 | Nondestructive Testing of Niobium Sheets for SRF Cavities Using Eddy-current and SQUID Flaw Detection | niobium, cavity, controls, neutron | 800 |
|
|||
For more than 10 years DESY has been operating a high resolution eddy-current scanning installation with rotating table for nondestructive flaw detection on niobium sheets for SRF cavities. More than 2000 sheets have been examined up to now, several types of defects have been detected and identified using different supplementary methods such as EDX, X-ray fluorescence, neutron activation analysis etc. In order to scan Nb-sheets needed for XFEL-cavity production, new scanning devices have to be build. One option of the eddy-current installations could be an application of SQUID-sensors due to much higher sensitivity instead of conventional probes. A SQUID based scanner system was built and is in evaluation at DESY. A status report will be given. |

THP014 | Recent Results of 1.3 GHz Nine-Cell Superconducting Cavities for the European XFEL | cavity, HOM, niobium, superconducting-cavity | 806 |
|
|||
In preparation for the series production of roughly 800 superconducting accelerating structures, several tests with an industrial-like production sequence have been tested for their accelerating gradient and quality factor. The main part of the surface preparation is being done with electropolishing. with ethanol rinse. For the two different final preparation steps namely electropolishing and etching the performance is compared. The results will be also put into the perspective of earlier cavity production cycles that were tested at DESY. |

|

The local thermal breakdown (quench) behavior of one- and nine-cell SCRF Nb accelerator cavities is investigated systematically. For more than 50 cavities, temperature mapping data have been analyzed with respect to surface preparation, Nb material etc. Results on quench location and characteristic correlations are presented. |

THP033 | Superconducting Quarter-Wave Resonator Cavity and Cryomodule Development for a Heavy Ion Re-accelerator | cavity, cryomodule, solenoid, ion | 854 |
|
|||
A superconducting linac is being planned for re-acceleration of exotic ions produced by the Coupled Cyclotron Facility at Michigan State University. The re-accelerator will include a gas stopper, a charge breeder, a normal conducting radio-frequency quadrupole, and two types of superconducting quarter-wave resonators (QWRs) for re-acceleration to energies of up to 3 MeV per nucleon initially, with a subsequent upgrade path to 12 MeV per nucleon. The QWRs (80.5 MHz, optimum beta = 0.041 and 0.085, made from bulk niobium) are similar to existing cavities presently used at INFN-Legnaro. The re-accelerator's cryomodules will accommodate up to 8 cavities, along with superconducting solenoids for focussing. Active and passive shielding is required to ensure that the solenoids' field does not degrade the cavity performance. First prototypes of both QWR types have been fabricated and tested. A prototype solenoid has been procured and tested. A test cryomodule has been fabricated: one QWR, one solenoid, and two other beam line elements have been installed inside. This paper will cover the re-accelerator cavity and cryomodule prototyping efforts, results so far, and future plans. |

THP093 | Power Coupler and Tuner Development for Superconducting Quarter-Wave Resonators | vacuum, cavity, niobium, cryomodule | 1005 |
|

The construction of a reaccelerator for secondary ion beams is currently underway at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). The reaccelerator linac will use superconducting quarter-wave resonators (QWR) operating at 80.5 MHz with beta = 0.041 and beta = 0.085. A coaxial probe-type rf fundamental power coupler (FPC) will be used for both QWR types. The power coupler makes use of a commercially-available feedthrough to minimize the cost. The FPC has been simulated and optimized for operation at 80.5 MHz using a finite element electromagnetics code. Prototype FPC have been fabricated and conditioned with traveling wave and standing wave power using a 1 kW amplifier. A niobium tuning plate is incorporated into the bottom flange of the QWR. The tuner is actuated by a stepping motor for slow (coarse) tuning and a stacked piezoelectric element in series for fast (fine) tuning. A prototype tuner for the beta = 0.041 QWR has been tested on the cavity at room temperature. This paper will cover the design, fabrication, and testing of the prototype coupler and tuner. |
