MOPP055 | RF Tests of Dressed 325 MHz Single-Spoke Resonators at 2 K | 180 |
|
||
Funding: United States Department of Energy, Contract No.DE- AC02-07CH11359 Fermilab has recently completed an upgrade to its spoke resonator test cryostat to enable testing of cavities in superfluid helium. Two single-spoke resonators with differing helium vessel designs have been tested in this new configuration. Gradient and Q0 performance was studied along with microphonics control and sensitivity of the resonant frequency to pressure variations. A description of the testing and the results obtained are presented. |

TUPP049 | Test Stand for 325 MHz Power Couplers | 538 |

325 MHz superconducting Single Spoke resonators (SSR1) will be utilized in the Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE). Developed in Fermilab the main power coupler will be supply 2kW CW RF power to each cavity. Fermilab developed and designed the special test stand where the couplers will be tested up to 10 kW and design properties be confirmed. This paper describes the design of the coupler test stand and preliminary results of the tests. | ||
THPP050 | Status of 325 MHz Main Couplers for PXIE | 963 |
|
||
The Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE) at Fermilab will include one cryomodule with eight 325 MHz single spoke superconductive cavities (SSR1). Each cavity requires approximately 2 kW CW RF power for 1 mA beam current operation. A future upgrade will require up to 8 kW RF power per cavity. Fermilab has designed, procured and tested two prototype couplers for the SSR type cavities. Status of the 325 MHz main coupler development for PXIE is reported. | ||
THPP056 | Status of the Warm Front End of PXIE | 976 |

Funding: Fermilab is operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the United States Department of Energy A CW-compatible, pulsed H− superconducting linac is envisaged as a possible path for upgrading Fermilab’s injection complex. To validate the concept of the front-end of such machine, a test accelerator (a.k.a. PXIE) is under construction. The warm part of this accelerator comprises a 10 mA DC, 30 keV H− ion source, a 2m-long LEBT, a 2.1 MeV CW RFQ, and a 10-m long MEBT that is capable of creating a large variety of bunch structures. The paper will report commissioning results of a partially assembled LEBT, status of RFQ manufacturing, and describe development of the MEBT, in particular, of elements of its chopping system. |

THPP057 | Results of Cold Tests of the Fermilab SSR1 Cavities | 979 |

Fermilab is currently building the Project X Injector experiment (PXIE). The PXIE linac will accelerate a 1 mA H− beam up to 30 MeV and serve as a testbed for validation of Project X concepts and mitigation of technical risks. A cryomodule of eight superconducting RF Single Spoke Resonators of type 1 (SSR1) cavities operating at 325 MHz is an integral part of PXIE. Ten SSR1 cavities were manufactured in industry and delivered to Fermilab. We discuss tests of nine bare SSR1 cavities at the Fermilab Vertical Test Stand (VTS). Recently, one of the SSR1 cavities was welded inside a helium jacket. Results of the test of this cavity in the Fermilab Spoke Test Cryostat (STC) are shown. We report on the measured performance parameters of SSR1 cavities achieved during the tests. | ||
