Funding: This work supported by the U.S. DOE, Office of Nuclear Physics, Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. This research used resources of ANL’s ATLAS facility, which is a DOE Office of Science User Facility. A pair of 20 kW CW adjustable RF power couplers optimized for 1.4 GHz have been designed and are being built as part of the APS-U bunch lengthening system. The system uses one superconducting RF cavity to be installed into the APS Upgrade electron storage ring and will provide a tremendous practical benefit to the majority of users by increasing the beam lifetime by 2-3 times. The 80 mm diameter, 50 Ω coaxial couplers include 4 cm (~20 dB) of adjustability. This allows optimization of bunch lengthening for a range of storage ring beam currents and fill patterns while, simultaneously, maintaining the required 0.84 MV harmonic cavity voltage. To provide bunch lengthening, the cavity/coupler system must extract RF power (up to 32 kW) from the beam. Each coupler will transmit roughly half of the total extracted power to external water-cooled loads. The design extends upon on a well-tested ANL two RF window concept, using a pair of simple rugged 80 mm diameter alumina disks. A new feature is the ‘hourglass-shaped’ inner conductor chosen to maximize transmission at 1.4 GHz. Results of electromagnetic and thermal simulations, as well as, prototyping and initial RF testing are presented. |

Superconducting ILC-type cavities have an rf input coupler that is welded on. A detachable input coupler will reduce conditioning time (can be conditioned separately), reduce cost and improve reliability. The problem with placing an extra flange in the superconducting cavity is about creating a possible quench spot at the seal place. Euclid Techlabs LLC has developed a coaxial coupler which has an on the surface with zero magnetic field (hence zero surface current). By placing a flange in that area we are able to avoid disturbing surface currents that typically lead to a quench. The coupler is optimized to preserve the axial symmetry of the cavity and rf field. The surface treatments and rf test of the proto- type coupler with a 1.3 GHz ILC-type single-cell cavity at Fermilab will be reported and discussed. | ||
