MOPO021	Electromechanical Design of 704MHz β 0.65 SC Proton Cavity	110
	H. Gassot, F.B. Bouly, G. Olry, S. Rousselot IPN, Orsay, France
	Funding: European Coordination for Accelerator Research & Development (EuCARD) Within the framework of the EUCARD, IPN Orsay is in charge of design of a 704MHz elliptic superconducting cavity for β = 0.65 high intensity proton linac in pulsed mode. This study offers a new option to replace the injector of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN with SPL (Superconducting Proton Linac) project. For this cavity's design, a compromise between the requirements of high technological performances and the constraint of the cavity's cost should be found. As middle beta elliptical cavity has a big ratio between equator radian and iris radian, the mechanical deformations generate important Lorentz forces detuning. As a consequence, the cavity wall thickness should be increased and one or two stiffening rings between cells are necessary. The additional cost should be imperatively minimized since more than fifty β 0.65 cavities are considered for SPL linac. To do these optimizations, the electromechanical calculations are performed via our simulation platform, which drives and links CATIA for CAD, Cast3m for mechanics and Opera3d for RF. The final design of cavity is presented in this paper.

MOPO039	Low-β Triple Spoke Cavity Design Improvement for Proton Linac	177
	H. Gassot, S. Bousson, G. Olry, S. Rousselot IPN, Orsay, France
	Funding: EURISOL (European Isotope-Separation-On-Line Facility) supported by the 6th PCRD of the European Union Within the framework of the EURISOL, IPN Orsay has proposed a 352MHz triple-spoke superconducting cavity: for the low energy section (beta = 0.3) of high power proton linear accelerators. In terms of structure design, a triple-spoke superconducting cavity has a complicated geometry, 3D modelling is necessary. More, the design requires simulations which couple electromagnetism with mechanics. To perform these tasks, the mechanics simulation code CAST3M (Calcul et Analyse de Structure et Thermique par la méthode des Eléments Finis) has been linked to the electromagnetism code Opera3D via a dedicated platform, which has been developed for this purpose. This work allows the instantaneous passage from CAD (CATIA) design to mechanical calculations using Cast3m and electromagnetic simulations with Opera3D. As a consequence, the delay of design studies has been considerably reduced. The mathematical advances of the simulation platform are summarized. The electromagnetic and mechanical behaviours of the triple-spoke are presented and discussed in this paper.
