An energy upgrade to the heavy-ion accelerator ATLAS at Argonne Lab is progressing*,**. The plans include replacing split-ring cavities with high performance quarter wave resonators. The new 72.75 MHz resonators are designed for optimum ion velocity β=.077 and a record high accelerating voltage of 2.5 MV by modifying the top geometry and reducing the peak surface fields. This new cavity has a longer center conductor than the 109 MHz cavities previously built by ANL with AES assistance, this and the other geometry changes add new engineering requirements to the design. This paper presents the engineering studies that were performed to resolve new issues. These studies include determining structural frequencies of the center conductor and stiffening methods, resonator frequency sensitivity to helium pressure fluctuations, and determining stress levels due to pressure and slow tuning. Evaluation of fast piezoelectric tuner frequency shift to tuner load was also performed and the local cavity shape was optimized based on these results.

The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade project (APS-U) at Argonne includes implementation of Zholents’* deflecting cavity scheme for production of short x-ray pulses. This is a joint project between Argonne National Laboratory, Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. This paper describes performance characteristics of the proposed source and technical issues related to its realization. Ensuring stable APS storage ring operation requires reducing quality factors of these modes by many orders of magnitude. These challenges reduce to those of the design of a single-cell SC cavity that can achieve the desired operating deflecting fields while providing needed damping of all these modes. The project team is currently prototyping and testing several promising designs for single-cell cavities with the goal of deciding on a winning design in the near future.
