WEPAC11 | Cornell's Main Linac Cryo-module Prototype | 811 |
|
||
Funding: Supported by NSF award DMR-0807731 In preparation to built an energy-recovery linac (ERL) based synchrotron-light facility at Cornell University which can provide greatly improved X-ray beams due to the high electron-beam quality that is available from a linac, a phase 1 R&D program was launched, adressing critical challenges in the design. One of them being a full linac cryo-module, housing 6 superconducting cavities (operated at 1.8 K in cw mode), 7 HOM absorbers and 1 magnet/ BPM section. The final design will be presented and a report on the fabrication status that started in late 2012 will be given |

WEPAC13 | Achieving High Accuracy in Cornell's ERL Cavity Production | 817 |
|
||
Funding: Supported by NSF award DMR-0807731 The phase 1 R&D program launched in preparation to building a 5 GeV Enery Recovery Linac (ERL) at Cornell, a full main linac cryomodule is currently built, housing six 7-cell cavities. In order to control the beam break-up limit, the shape of the cavity was highly optimized and stringent tolerances on the cavity production were targeted. We will report on the details of the cavity production, the accuracy of the cups forming the individual cells, the trimming procedure for the dumbbells, the cavity tuning and final accuracy of the cavity concerning field flatness, resonant frequency and overall length within this small series production. |

Funding: NSF Grants: NSF DMR-0807731 and NSF PHY-1002467 Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs) require strong damping of higher-order modes in main linac cavities to avoid beam loss from beam break-up effects. In addition, the cavities need to have very high intrinsic quality factors to minimize the size of cryogenic plants in CW cavity operation. We present world record results for a fully equipped multicell cavity in a cryomodule, reaching intrinsic quality factors at operating accelerating field of Q0(E =16.2 MV/m, 1.8~K) > 6.0\ee10 and Q0(E =16.2 MV/m, 1.6~K) = 1.0\ee{11}, corresponding to a residual surface resistance of 1.1~nΩ. |
