TI - A Preliminary Design of a Superconducting Accelerating Structure for Extremely Low Energy Proton Working in TE210 Mode J2 - Proc. of International Conference on RF Superconductivity (SRF2015), Whistler, BC, Canada, Sept. 13-18, 2015 AB - For the application of high intensity continuous wave (CW) proton beam acceleration, a new superconducting accelerating structure for extremely low β proton working in TE210 mode has been proposed at Peking University. The cavity consists of eight electrodes and eight accelerating gaps. The RF frequency is 162.5MHz, and the designed proton input energy is 200keV. A peak field optimization has been performed for the lower surface field. The accelerating gaps are adjusted by phase sweeping based on KONUS beam dynamics. Solenoids are placed outside the cavity to provide transverse focusing. Numerical calculation shows that the transverse defocusing of the KONUS phase is about three times smaller than that of the conventional negative synchronous RF phase. The beam dynamics of a 10mA CW proton beam is simulated by the TraceWin code. The simulation results show that the beam’s size is under effective control. Both the simulation and the numerical calculation show that the cavity has a relatively high effective accelerating gradient of 2.6MV/m. Our results show that this new accelerating structure may be a possible candidate for superconducting operation at such a low energy range.
