THPB050 | Performance Evaluation of HL-LHC Crab Cavity Prototypes in a CERN Vertical Test Cryostat | 1210 |
|
||
Funding: My work is supported by the Mexican CONACYT(Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia) program through the Mexican national scholarship (Becas Nacionales y Becas Mixtas). Three proof-of-principle compact crab cavity designs have been fabricated in bulk niobium and cold tested at their home labs, as a first validation step towards the High Luminosity LHC project. As a cross check, all three bare cavities have been retested at CERN, in order to cross check their performance, and cross-calibrate the CERN SRF cold test facilities. While achievable transverse deflecting voltage is the key performance indicator, secondary performance aspects derived from multiple cavity monitoring systems are also discussed. Temperature mapping profiles, quench detection, material properties, and trapped magnetic flux effects have been assessed, and the influence on performance discussed. The significant effort invested in developing expertise in preparation and testing of these crab cavities has already been fruitful for all partners, and more is to come within this ongoing program. |

THPB051 | Lorentz Detuning for a Double-Quarter Wave Cavity | 1215 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by US DOE via BSA LLC contract No.DE-AC02-98CH10886 and US LARP program and by EU FP7 HiLumi LHC grant No.284404. Used NERSC resources by US DOE contract No.DE-AC02-05CH11231. The Lorentz detuning is the resonant frequency change in an RF cavity due to the radiation pressure on the cavity walls. We present benchmarking studies of Lorentz detuning calculations for a Double-Quarter Wave Crab Cavity (DQWCC) using the codes ACE3P. The results are compared with the Lorentz detuning measurements performed during the cold tests of the Proof-of-Principle DQWCC at BNL. |

THPB052 | Thermal Losses in Couplers and Ports of a SPS Double-Quarter Wave Crab Cavity | 1219 |
|
||
Funding: Supported by US DOE via US LARP, through BSA LLC under contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 and using NERSC resources under contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231. Also supported by EU FP7 HiLumi LHC No.284404. The Double-Quarter Wave Crab Cavity for beam tests at SPS will be equipped with a Fundamental Power Coupler (FPC), three HOM filters and one pickup. FPC and HOM couplers are located in high magnetic field region and have a hook shape. The FPC will be made in copper while HOM and pickup are in niobium. This paper explains the material choice for the FPC, HOM and pickup couplers given the calculated power dissipation for fundamental and selected high order modes. It also describes the envisaged cooling system and corresponding thermal distribution for each coupler. |

THPB060 | Development of SRF Cavity Tuners for CERN | 1247 |
|
||
Superconducting RF cavity developments are currently on-going for new accelerator projects at CERN such as HIE ISOLDE and HL-LHC. Mechanical RF tuning systems are required to compensate cavity frequency shifts of the cavities due to temperature, mechanical, pressure and RF effects on the cavity geometry. A rich history and experience is available for such mechanical tuners developed for existing RF cavities. Design constraints in the context of HIE ISOLDE and HL-LHC such as required resolution, space limitation, reliability and maintainability have led to new concepts in the tuning mechanisms. This paper will discuss such new approaches, their performances and planned developments. | ||

THPB069 | Engineering Design and Prototype Fabrication of HOM Couplers for HL-LHC Crab Cavities | 1279 |
|
||
The High-Luminosity upgrade for the LHC relies on a set of RF Crab Cavities for reaching its goals. Two parallel concepts, the Double Quarter Wave (DQW) and the RF Dipole (RFD), are going through a comprehensive design process along with preparation of fabrication in view of extensive tests with beam in SPS. High Order Modes (HOM) couplers are critical in providing damping in RF cavities for operation in accelerators. HOM prototyping and fabrication have recently started at CERN. In this paper, an overview of the final shape is provided along with an insight in the mechanical and thermal analyses performed to validate the design of these critical components. Emphasis is also given to test campaigns, material selection, prototyping and initial fabrication that are aimed at fulfilling the highly demanding tolerances of the couplers. | ||

FRBA02 | Crab Cavity and Cryomodule Development for HL-LHC | 1460 |
|
||
The HL-LHC project aims at increasing the LHC luminosity by a factor 10 beyond the design value. The installation of a set of RF Crab Cavities to increase bunch crossing angle is one of the key upgrades of the program. Two concepts, Double Quarter Wave (DQW) and RF Dipole (RFD) have been proposed and are being produced in parallel for test in the SPS beam before the next long shutdown of CERN accelerator’s complex. In the retained concept, two cavities are hosted in one single cryomodule, providing thermal insulation and interfacing with RF coupling, tuning, cryogenics and beam vacuum. This paper overviews the main design choices for the cryomodule and its different components, which have the goal of optimizing the structural, thermal and electro-magnetic behavior of the system, while respecting the existing constraints in terms of integration in the accelerator environment. Prototyping and testing of the most critical components, manufacturing, preparation and installation strategies are also described. | ||
