MOPP035 | Bead-Pull Measurement Method and Tuning of a Prototype CLIC Crab Cavity | cavity, electromagnetic-fields, coupling, simulation | 134 |
|
|||
A bead-pull method has been developed which measures in a single bead passage the amplitude and phase advance of deflecting mode travelling wave structures. This bead-pull method has been applied to measure and tune a Lancaster University-designed prototype crab cavity for CLIC. The technique and tuning results are described. | |||
TUPP006 | Design of Relativistic Magnetron for High Power Microwave Generation | electron, simulation, cathode, cavity | 452 |
|
|||
A Linear Induction Accelerator based upon magnetic storage, utilising magnetic switches has been made and it is capable of providing a 400 kV diode voltage, 4 kA beam current for 100 ns pulse duration with 100 Hz repetition rate. It operates in a very high repetition rate due to the use of magnetic switches in it. The lesser shot to shot variation make this system ideal for a Relativistic Magnetron operation, where a huge dependence of output power on applied voltage and applied current is observed. A relativistic magnetron with axial extraction is analytically designed and simulated for this system. This relativistic magnetron is expected to give a power of 100 MW per pulse when operated in its full rating. The design features of this relativistic magnetron are presented here. This magnetron was designed for an output microwave frequency of 2.52 GHz.

TUPP018 | Analysis of Systematic and Random Error in SRF Material Parameter Calculations | simulation, cavity, SRF, niobium | 465 |
|
|||
Funding: NSF Career award PHY-0841213 and DOE award ER41628 To understand the relationship between an RF cavity’s performance and the material on its surface, one must look at various parameters, including energy gap, mean free path, and residual resistance. Though SRIMP fits for seven parameters, three parameters are eliminated using measurement and literature values, and the uncertainty of the fit of the remaining four parameters is further reduced by synthesizing two 3-parameter fits, each from a different data set. To study random error, Monte Carlo simulations were performed of ideal data with added noise; for systematic error, contour plots of normalized residual sum of squares (RSS) of the polymorphic fit on inputted data were generated. |

TUPP077 | High Precision Manufacturing for LINAC's | linac, vacuum, controls, laser | 603 |
|
|||
A big effort in R&D focused to the LINAC devices together with the know-how already deployed through emblematic projects places DMP in the state of the art of the extreme precision mechanics. This mechanic culture makes of DMP a natural partner in early stages of design or driver of a comprehensive solution, optimizing industrial risks, quality and due date. Surface roughness below 1 nanometer, figure errors better than 50 nanometers in OFE copper enhances lifetime and performance of many devices for LINAC's. Research in joining techniques and combining several alternative technologies to traditional machining improves figure stability and makes complex cooling systems possible. | |||
THPP085 | The Prototype of the Proton Injector for the European Spallation Source | plasma, proton, emittance, simulation | 1044 |
|

The update of the design of the PS-ESS source and of its LEBT has been carried out in 2013 and the construction is now ongoing. The Ion Source will be able to provide a proton beam current larger than 70 mA to the 3.6 MeV RFQ. Several innovative solutions have been implemented in the redesign phase in order to cope with high-reliability/high-performance requirements of the ESS project. A flexible magnetic system will allow to investigate alternative configurations for future ion current upgrade of the machine based on the formation of a denser plasma. Innovative set-ups have been also explored for beam extraction, transport and chopping. Calculations have shown that space charge compensation up to 95 % is needed to preserve the low emittance in the low energy beam transfer line (LEBT). In order to obtain the optimal proton beam pulse rise and fall time – that should be 100 ns – we propose a LEBT chopping configuration that permits hundred nanosecond rise times despite the LEBT compensation needs few microseconds. The ongoing development of a 3D PIC code will be also described, that should allow predicting and tuning the beam pulse for different source/LEBT operative configurations. | |||
THPP133 | LLRF System for the CEBAF Separator Upgrade | cavity, controls, LLRF, electron | 1171 |
|

The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) energy upgrade from 6 GeV to 12 GeV includes the installation of four new 750 MHz deflecting, normal conducting cavities in the 5th pass extraction region. This system will work together with existing 499 MHz RF Separator in order to allow simultaneous delivery of the beam to four CEBAF experimental halls. The RF system employs two digital LLRF systems controlling four cavities in a vector sum. Cavity tune information of the individual cavities is also obtained using a multiplexing scheme of the forward and reflected RF signals. In this paper we will present detailed LLRF design and current status of the CEBAF 750 MHz beam extraction system. | |||
