MOPO024 | Design of Single Spoke Resonators for Project X | 122 |
|
||
Funding: Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Project X is based on a 3 GeV CW superconducting linac and is currently in the R&D phase awaiting CD-0 approval. The low-energy section of the Project X H− linac (starting at 2.5 MeV) includes three types of super-conducting single spoke cavities operating at 325 MHz. The first three cryomodules will each house 7 SSR0 cavities at β = 0.11. The following two cryomodules will each contain 10 SSR1 cavities each at β = 0.21. The last four cryomodules will contain 11 SSR2 cavities each at β = 0.4. Single spoke cavities were selected for the linac in virtue of their higher r/Q values compared to standard Half Wave Resonator. Quarter Wave Resonators were not considered for such a high frequency. In this paper we present the decisions and analyses that lead to the final design of SSR0. Electro-magnetic and mechanical finite element analyses were performed with the purpose of optimizing the electro-magnetic design, minimizing frequency shifts due to helium bath pressure fluctuations and providing a pressure rating for the resonators that allow their use in the cryomodules. |

TUPO006 | High Power Couplers for the Project X Linac | 361 |
|
||
Project X, a multi-megawatt proton source under development at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. [1]. The key element of the project is a superconducting (SC) 3GV continuous wave (CW) proton linac. The linac includes 5 types of SC accelerating cavities of two frequencies.(325 and 650MHz) The cavities consume up to 30 kW average RF power and need proper main couplers. Requirements and approach to the coupler design are discussed in the report. Results of electrodynamics and thermal simulations are presented. New cost effective schemes are described. | ||
TUPO048 | Commissioning and Upgrade of Automatic Cavity Tuning Machines for the European Xfel | 495 |
|
||
Four new tuning machines were developed and built in a collaborating effort among FNAL, KEK and DESY. Two machines were commissioned at DESY in a close teamwork with FNAL. For several months, these machines have been used regularly for the automatic tuning of different types of cavities for FLASH. Due to this operating experience and the requirements for the European XFEL cavity Specification, it was necessary to implement the following improvements: improve the precision of the eccentricity measurement; change the tuning sequence according to the different production stages in the cavity fabrication and preparation process; review and change the machine access procedures according to the safety aspects of the EC Directive of Machinery. These improvements required changes in both the mechanical parts developed by DESY and the electronics and software developed by FNAL. We report in detail about the commissioning, our tuning experience and the necessary improvements. | ||

THIOA07 | Single-cell SC Cavity Development in India | 659 |
|
||
Under Indian Institutions and Fermilab Collaboration (IIFC), Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT) Indore, India has initiated the development of SCRF cavity technology in collaboration with Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) USA. The R & D efforts are focused on the proposed Project-X accelerator complex at FNAL and High Intensity Proton Accelerator activities in India. As an initial effort, two prototype 1.3 GHz single cell bulk niobium cavities have been developed in collaboration with the Inter University Accelerator Centre (IUAC), New Delhi. Learning from the experience gained and the initial results of these prototypes (achieving Eacc ~23 MV/m), two more improved 1.3 GHz single cell cavities are being developed. These two improved single cell cavities will also be processed and tested at FNAL. Development of a 1.3 GHz, 5-cell SCRF cavity with simple end groups, development of end group, and fabrication of a single -cell 650 MHz (β=0.9) prototype cavity are being undertaken as the next stage in these efforts. This paper will present the development and test results on the 1.3 GHz single cell cavities and status of the ongoing work. | ||

THPO023 | External Magnetic Fields and Operating SRF Cavity | 763 |
|
||
Funding: The work herein has been performed at Fermilab, which is operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the United States Department of Energy. When an SRF cavity is undergoing a transition to the superconducting state in an external magnetic field it traps some of the flux which results in an increase of surface resistance. This effect was extensively studied, is well understood by now and results in stringent requirements for an ambient magnetic field on the surface of an SRF cavity. The situation is quite different when magnetic field is applied to a cavity already in the superconducting state. During normal operation the bulk of the superconducting Nb should protect the RF surface of the cavity from fields on the outside. So we expect that the requirements on an external magnetic field applied to an operating cavity could be significantly relaxed. One possible failure mode is when the cavity quenches while the external field is applied. The magnetic field would penetrate through a normal zone formed during the quench and can get trapped during the subsequent post-quench cooling. We studied the effects of an external magnetic field applied to an operating SRF cavity and report the results. |
