Funding: Work supported by the Director, Office of Science, of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231 We present an overview of design studies and R&D toward NGLS a Next Generation Light Source initiative at LBNL. The design concept is based on a multi-beamline soft x-ray FEL array powered by a CW superconducting linear accelerator, and operating with a high bunch repetition rate of approximately 1 MHz. The linac design uses TESLA and ILC technology, supplied by an injector based on a CW normal-conducting VHF photocathode electron gun. Electron bunches from the linac are distributed by RF deflecting cavities to the array of independently configurable FEL beamlines with nominal bunch rates of ~100 kHz in each FEL, with uniform pulse spacing, and some FELs capable of operating at the full linac bunch rate. Individual FELs may be configured for different modes of operation, including self-seeded and external-laser-seeded, and each may produce high peak and average brightness x-rays with a flexible pulse format. |

WEPAC23 | Multipacting Simulations of SSR2 Cavity at FNAL | 838 |
|

SSR2 is the second family of single spoke resonator under development at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL). These cavities will be placed in Project X front-end after SSR1 spoke resonators, which have already been built and tested and FNAL. Spoke cavities are affected by multipacting and the nature of their 3D geometry does not allow simulating the multipactor process using 2D tools. 3D tracking simulations, of electrons inside the cavity volume, have been carried out using CST Particle Studio. Different Secondary Emission Coefficients have been applied to the cavity walls in order to understand how strongly the multipacting depends on material properties. The power levels used in simulations cover the whole operating gradient range of SSR2 cavity. Results of these simulations are compared to the one given by SSR1 model, which demonstrated good agreement with experimental data. The purposes of this paper are to present the results gotten from the tracking solver, to give a prediction of what will be the multipacting scenario for SSR2 cavity and if there will be any dangerous zone for operation. | ||
