The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is based upon a high power heavy ion driver linac under construction at Michigan State University under a cooperative agreement with the US DOE. The construction of conventional facilities already started in the summer, 2013, and the accelerator production began from the summer, 2014. FRIB will accelerate all the stable ion beams from proton to uranium beyond a beam energy of 200 MeV/u and up to a beam power of 400 kW to produce a great number of various rare isotopes using SRF linac. The FRIB SRF driver linac makes use of four kinds of SRF structures. Totally 332 two gap cavities and 48 cryomodules are needed. All SRF hardware components have been validated and are now moving to production. The SRF infrastructure also has been constructed in MSU campus. This talk will present FRIB project and challenges regarding SRF technologies. The status of SRF linac hardware validation and their production, SRF infrastructure status and plan shall be addressed. The information that can be relevant for future large scale proton/ion SRF linacs will also be provided.

Construction of the RISP heavy ion accelerator facility is in progress in Korea. The driver linac is a superconducting linac that can accelerate uranium to proton beams, delivering 400 kW beam power to various targets. Prototyping and test of the superconducting cavities and cryomodules are proceeding. Prototype superconducting cavities were fabricated through domestic vendors and their vertical tests were performed in collaboration with TRIUMF. Vertical tests showed good performance of the prototype cavities, which verified that there were no significant issues of the cavity design and fabrication. SRF Test Facility is under construction to be completed by early 2016. Progress report of the RAON accelerator systems is presented.

The ”Linac Coherent Light Source-II” Project will construct a 4 GeV CW superconducting RF linac in the first kilometer of the existing SLAC linac tunnel. The baseline design calls for 280 1.3 GHz nine-cell cavities with an average intrinsic quality factor Q0 of 2.7·1010 at 2K and 16 MV/m accelerating gradient. The LCLS-II high Q0 cavity treatment protocol utilizes the reduction in BCS surface resistance by nitrogen doping of the RF surface layer, which was discovered originally at FNAL. Cornell University, FNAL, and TJNAF conducted a joint high Q0 R&D program with the goal of (a) exploring the robustness of the N-doping technique and establishing the LCLS-II cavity high Q0 processing protocol suitable for production use, and (b) demonstrating that this process can reliably achieve LCLS-II cavity specification in a production acceptance testing setting. In this paper we describe the LCLS-II cavity protocol and analyze combined cavity performance data from both vertical and horizontal testing at the three partner labs, which clearly shows that LCLS-II specifications were met, and thus demonstrates readiness for LCLS-II cavity production.

We present a study on two parallel-path SRF cavities (one large grain and one fine grain, 1.3 GHz) which seeks to explain the correlation between the amount of nitrogen on the inner surface of a “nitrogen doped” SRF cavity and the change in the temperature dependant (packaged into term BCS) RF losses. For each doping/EP, the cavities were tested at multiple temperatures (2.0 K to 1.5 K in 0.1 K steps) to create a Q0 vs. Eacc vs. T matrix which then could be used to extract temperature dependant and independent components. After each test, the cavities were thermally cycled to 120 K and then re-cooled and retested to assess if evidence of hydrogen migration might appear even at a small level. In addition, TD-5 was also tested at fixed low field (Q0 vs. T) to fit standard BCS theory. In parallel, SIMS data was taken on like-treated samples to correlate the amount of nitrogen within the RF surface to the change in the temperature dependant fitting parameter “A”.**

Initial vertical RF test results and quench studies for six of the eight undressed 9 cell cavities slated for use in the Jefferson laboratory LCLS-II prototype cryomodule were presented at IPAC2015*. For the final string 2 more cavities AES029 and AES030 (work done at Cornell) are being processed and tested for qualification before helium vessel welding. In addition, AES034 (initial R&D treatment) is being reworked with the current production protocol after a surface reset to improve the overall performance. After final qualification all 8 cavities will be welded into helium vessels and equipped with HOM couplers. In this paper we will present the final undressed and dressed vertical RF data comparing the changes in the surface resistance before their installation in the cryomodule string.

The Linac Coherent Light Source-II (LCLS-II) is a new FEL x-ray source that is planned to be constructed in the existing SLAC tunnel. In order to meet the required high Q0 specification of 2.7x1010 at 2 K and 16 MV/m, nitrogen-doping has been proposed as a preparation method for the SRF cavities in the linac. In order to test the feasibility of these goals, four nitrogen-doped cavities have been tested at Cornell in the Horizontal Test Cryomodule (HTC) in five separate tests. The first three tests consisted of cavities assembled in the HTC with high Q input coupler. The fourth test used the same cavity as the third but with the prototype high power LCLS-II coupler installed. Finally, the fifth test used a high power LCLS-II coupler, cavity tuner, and HOM antennas. Here we report on the results from these tests along with a systematic analysis of change in performance due to the various steps in preparing and assembling LCLS-II cavities for cryomodule operation. These results represent one of the final steps to demonstrate readiness for full prototype cryomodule assembly for LCLS-II.

  CEA is committed to delivering a Medium Energy Beam Transfer line and a superconducting linac (SCL) for SARAF accelerator in order to accelerate 5mA beam of either protons from 1.3 MeV to 35 MeV or deuterons from 2.6 MeV to 40.1 MeV. The SCL consists 4 cryomodules equipped with warm diagnostics. The first two identical cryomodules host 6 half-wave resonator (HWR) low beta cavities (β = 0.091), 176 MHz. As the last two identical welcome 7 HWR high-beta cavities (β = 0.181), 176 MHz. The beam is focused through the superconducting solenoids located between cavities housing steering coils. A Beam Position Monitor is placed upstream each solenoid. A diagnostic box containing a beam profiler, a bunch length monitor and a vacuum pump will be inserted between 2 consecutive cryomodules. The HWR cavities, the solenoid package and the cryomodules are being designed. These studies will be presented in this poster.

At the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP), Frankfurt University, a sc 325 MHz CH-Cavity has been designed and fabricated. Successful tests at 4 K and 2 K with gradients up to 14.1 MV/m have been performed. The cavity is destined for a 11.4 AMeV 10 mA ion beam at the GSI UNILAC, Darmstadt. Consisting of 7 gaps and a geometrical beta of 0.16 this resonator is designed to provide a gradient of 5 MV/m. Novel features of this structure comprise a compact design, low electric peak fields, improved surface processing possibilities and power coupling. In addition a tuner system based on mechanically deformable bellow tuners attached inside the cavity and driven either by a stepping motor or a piezo actuator will keep the cavity on resonance. This contribution reports about the latest measurements on the cavity with the recently attached helium vessel and a renewed surface processing.

  To keep the ambitious Super Heavy Element (SHE) physics program at GSI competitive a superconducting (sc) continuous wave (cw) high intensity heavy ion LINAC is currently under progress as a multi-stage R&D program of GSI, HIM and IAP*. The baseline linac design consists of a high performance ion source, a new low energy beam transport line, an (cw) upgraded High Charge State Injector (HLI), and a matching line (1.4 MeV/u) which is followed by the new sc-DTL LINAC for post acceleration up to 7.3 MeV/u. In the present design the new cw-heavy ion LINAC comprises constant-beta sc Crossbar-H-mode (CH) cavities operated at 217 MHz. The advantages of the proposed beam dynamics concept applying a constant beta profile are easy manufacturing with minimized costs as well as a straightforward energy variation**. An important milestone will be the full performance test of the first CH cavity (Demonstrator), in a horizontal cryo module with beam. An advanced demonstrator setup comprising a string of cavities and focussing elements is proposed to build from 10 short CH-cavities with 8 gaps. The corresponding simulations and technical layout of the new cw heavy ion LINAC will be presented.

  Providing heavy ion beams for the ambitious experiment program at GSI, the Universal Linear Accelerator (UNILAC) serves as a powerful high duty factor (25%) accelerator. Beam time availability for SHE-research will be decreased due to the limitation of the UNILAC providing a proper beam for FAIR simultaneously. To keep the GSI-SHE program competitive on a high level, a standalone sc cw-LINAC in combination with the upgraded GSI High Charge State injector is planned to build. In preparation for this the first linac section (financed by HIM and partly by HGF-ARD-initiative) will be tested in 2015 as a demonstrator. After successful testing the construction of an extended cryomodule comprising two further, but shorter CH cavities is foreseen to test until end of 2017. In this contribution the measurement of the beam parameters at the entrance of CW-Demonstartor, the preliminary simulation of beam dynamics for the first stage of advanced demonstrator will be presented. As a final R&D step towards an entire linac an advanced cryo module comprising up to five CH cavities is envisaged for 2019 serving for first user experiments at the coulomb barrier.

The electron-ion collider (EIC) being developed at JLAB requires a new ion accelerator complex (IAC). The IAC includes a new linac and a booster accelerator facility. The new facility is required for the acceleration of ions from protons to lead for colliding beam experiments with electrons in the EIC storage ring. Originally, we proposed a pulsed linac which is based upon a NC front end, < 5 MeV/u, with a SC section for energies > 5 MeV/u and capable of providing 285 MeV protons and ~100 MeV/u lead ions for injection into the IAC booster. A recent cost optimization study of the IAC suggested that lower injection energy into the booster may reduce the overall project cost with ~120 MeV protons and ~40 MeV/u lead ions. Stronger space charge effects in the booster caused by lower injection energy will be mitigated by the booster design. In this paper we discuss both linac options.

The beam power of the Linac for the Second Target Station (STS) at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) will be doubled to 2.8 MW. For the energy upgrade seven additional cryomodules will be installed in the reserved space at the end of the linac tunnel to produce the linac output energy of 1.3 GeV. The cryomodules for STS will have some changes that do not require changes of overall layout based on the lessons learned from operational experience over the last 10 years and the high beta spare cryomodule developed in house. The average macro-pulse beam current for the STS will be 38 mA that is about 40 % increase from that for the present 1.4 MW operation. Plans for the existing cryomodules to support higher beam current for the STS is also presented in this paper.

  For the European XFEL (EU-XFEL), two industrial companies are responsible for the manufacture and surface preparation of the eight hundred superconducting cavities. The companies had to strictly follow the XFEL specification and document all production and preparation steps. No performance guaranties were required. Each cavity delivered by industry to DESY is tested in a vertical test at 2K. Resonators not reaching the performances defined for application at the EU-XFEL linear accelerator modules or showing leakage during cold RF tests have undergone a subsequent retreatment at DESY. Nearly 20% of the cavity production required retreatment, most of them by an additional high pressure rinsing. Some cavities received additional chemical treatment by BCP flash after the initial HPR did not cure the problem. The analysis of retreatments and quality control data available from the retreatment sequences and the workflow of retreatment will be presented.

  Due to the large variety of beam patterns considered for the superconducting proton linac (SPL) at CERN it is likely that the frequencies of some HOMs are close to machine lines during operation. Hence, in the interest of developing a method to shift HOM frequencies away from machine lines, we study the influence of cavity detuning and re-tuning (e.g. by Lorentz forces, field flatness tuning, frequency tuning during operation) on HOMs. The sensitivity of HOMs with respect to the fundamental mode was studied for a mono-cell and for 5-cell high-beta SPL cavities operating at 704.4 MHz. First, the variation of the HOMs during the flat-field tuning was measured. In this process, several detuning and re-tuning cycles were made to estimate the range of possible HOM frequency shifts. Secondly the effect of the frequency tuner on the HOMs is presented and finally the frequency shifts of all modes due to the cool down.

  The European X-ray Free Electron Laser is under construction at DESY, Hamburg. During preparation for tunnel installation 100 Cryomodules are tested in a dedicated facility on the DESY campus. Up to now around 50 cryomodules have been measured at 2K. This paper describes the current status of the measurements, especially single cavity limitations. In addition we present a comparison between the vertical test results of the individual cavities and the corresponding performance measurements of the cavities once assembled into the accelerator string inside the cryomodule.

  Cooling speed significantly affects flux trapping of a SRF cavity, which will determine the residual resistance and the quality factor of the cavity. We measured the temperature distribution of a 9-cell cavity at different cooling speeds by the multi-cell T-map system of Cornell University. This paper proposed a method to evaluate the formation of a normal conducting island at different cooling speed. The fast cool-down and slow cool-down has been compared. We conclude that the slow cool-down freezes less normal conducting islands.

  Cornell University treated five LCLS-II 9-cell cavities by nitrogen-doping recipe. In this paper, we reported the performance of these 9-cell cavities. In the treatments, the nitrogen recipes are slightly different. The cavities have been firstly doped under high nitrogen pressure; after the vertical tests some of the cavities has been reset the surface and re-doped under light nitrogen pressure. The detail of the cavity preparation and test results will be shown. The comparison of the different recipes will be discussed.

  The series production by two industrial vendors of the 800 1.3-GHz superconducting cavities for the European XFEL has been on-going since the beginning of 2013 and will conclude towards the end of this year. As of publication some 740 cavities (~93%) have been produced at an average rate of 6 cavities per week. As part of the acceptance testing, all cavities have undergone at least one vertical RF test at 2K at the AMTF facility at DESY. The acceptance criterion for module assembly is based on the concept of a “usable gradient”, which is defined as the maximum field taking into account Q0 performance and allowed thresholds for field emission, as well as breakdown limits. Approximate 20% of the cavities have undergone further surface treatment in the DESY infrastructure to improve their usable gradient performance. In this paper we present the performance statistics of the vertical test results, as well as an analysis of the limiting criteria for the usable gradient, and finally the impact of the surface retreatment on both usable gradient and Q0.

  The ARIEL eLINAC is a 50 MeV, 10 mA electron LINAC designed for the creation of rare isotopes via photo-fission. Future upgrade plans include the addition of a recirculating beam line to allow for either further energy increase of the beam beyond 50 MeV or to operate a free electron laser in an energy recovery mode. For both recirculating LINAC and ERL the higher order modes (HOM) have to be sufficiently suppressed to prevent beam-break-up. The design of the 1.3 GHz nine-cell cavity incorporated this requirement by including beam line absorbers on both ends of each cavity and an asymmetric beam pipe configuration on the cavity to allow trapped modes to propagate to the beam line absorbers. Measurements of the higher order modes on the completed injector cryomodule and the first cavity in the accelerating cryomodules will be shown and compared to simulations.

  • G. Olry
    IPN, Orsay, France
 
  The ESS accelerator high level requirements are to provide a 2.86 ms long proton pulse at 2 GeV at repetition rate of 14 Hz. This represents 5 MW of average beam power with a 4% duty cycle on target. In a framework of collaboration between IPN Orsay, CEA Saclay and ESS, prototype spoke and medium and high beta elliptical cavities and cryomodules have been studied, constructed and tested. After a description of the ESS project and the accelerator layout, this paper will focus on the recent progress towards realization of the detailed design, the manufacturing of the first components of the prototype cryomodules and the first test results of some of the main critical elements such as SRF cavities and cold tuning systems.

  TRIUMF e-lianc was commissioning last September for the first stage. High power rf systems were in operation stable. Two 300 kW klystrons along with the key waveguide components were tested before feeding rf power into 1.3 GHz 9-cell superconducting cavities. The rf high power variable divider and 360 degree waveguide phase shifters are working successfully. The simulations on different waveguide structures for the power dividers, phase shifters have been studied. The comparisons of the calculation results are reported in the paper. The rf signal level tests of the components and waveguide distribution systems will also be present in this paper.

A second X-ray free electron laser facility, LCLS-II, will be constructed at SLAC. LCLS-II is based on a 1.3 GHz, 4 GeV, continuous-wave (CW) superconducting linear accelerator, to be installed in the first kilometer of the SLAC tunnel. Multiple types of high power RF (HPRF) sources will be used to power different systems on LCLS II. The main 1.3 GHz linac will be powered by 280 1.3 GHz, 3.8 kW solid state amplifier (SSA) sources. The normal conducting buncher in the injector will use four more such SSAs. Two 185.7 MHz, 60 kW sources will power the photocathode dual-feed RF gun. A third harmonic linac section, included for linearizing the bunch energy spread before the first bunch compressor, will require sixteen 3.9 GHz sources at about 1 kW CW. A diagnostic line at 94 MeV, for tuning and characterizing the beam prior to acceleration through the rest of the linac, will contain an S-band transverse deflection cavity (TCAV) to time-resolve the energy spread of the beam. A 2.856 GHZ model 5045 pulsed klystron already existing at SLAC will be used to power the TCAV. A description and an update on all the HPRF sources of LCLS-II and their implementation is the subject of this paper

  The RISP (Rare Isotope Science Project) has been proposed as a multi-purpose accelerator facility for providing beams of exotic rare isotopes of various energies. It can deliver ions from proton to uranium. Proton and uranium ions are accelerated upto 600 MeV and 200 MeV/u respectively. The facility consists of three superconducting linacs of which superconducting cavities are independently phased. Requirement of the linac design is especially high for acceleration of multiple charge beams. In this paper, we present the RISP linac design, the prototyping of superconducting cavity and cryomodule.

  The demonstrator is a prototype of the first section of the proposed cw-LINAC@GSI, comprising a superconducting CH-cavity embedded by two superconducting solenoids. The sc CH-structure is the key component and offers a variety of research and development. The beam focusing solenoids provide maximum fields of 9.3 T at an overall length of 380 mm and a free beam aperture of 30 mm. The magnetic induction of the fringe is minimized to 50 mT at the inner NbTi-surface of the neighboring cavity. The fabrication of the key components is still in progress and is near to completion. After cold performance testing of the RF cavity, the helium jacket will be welded on. The cryostat is partly assembled and will be finished in the next weeks. The test environment is completely prepared. Advanced emittance measurement is foreseen to prepare for best matching of the heavy ion beam from the injector. Integration of the cryostat into the beam line, the first cool down of the module and commissioning of the RF elements will be performed as next steps towards a complete testing of the demonstrator.

  We developed ERL main linac cryomodule for Compact ERL (cERL) in KEK. The module consists of two 9-cell 1.3 GHz superconducting cavities, two 20 kW high power coupler, two mechanical tuner and three HOM dampers. After construction of cERL recirculation loop, beam operation was started in 2013 Dec. First electron beam of 20 MeV successfully passed the main linac cavities. After adjusting beam optics, energy recovery operation was achieved. Main linac cavity was enough stable for ERL beam operation with digital LLRF system and energy recovery was successfully done with CW 80 uA beam. However, field emission was a problem for long term operation. In this paper, we express the measurement of the cavity performances of long term beam operation.

TUPB024 Tuning the Linac With Superconducting Resonator Used as a Phase Detector acceleration, detector, ion, bunching 602

    Research School of Physics and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra, Australian Capitol Territory, Australia
 
  The ANU Heavy Ion Facility is comprised of a 15 MV electrostatic accelerator and superconducting linac booster. The beam is double terminal stripped to provide high charge states at the entrance to the linac, which consists of twelve β=0.1 Split Loop Resonators (SLR). Each SLR needs to be individually tuned in phase and amplitude for optimum acceleration efficiency. The amplitude and phase of the superbuncher and time energy lens also have to be correctly set. The linac set up procedure developed at ANU utilises a beam profile monitor in the middle of a 180 degree achromat and a new technique based on a superconducting resonator operating in a beam bunch detection mode. Both techniques are used to derive a full set of phase distributions for quick and efficient setting up of the entire linac. Verification of the superconducting phase detector is accomplished during routine linac operations and is complemented by longitudinal phase space simulations. The new technique allows better resolution for setting the resonator acceleration phase and better sensitivity to accelerating current.

TUPB025 Tuning the Superconducting Linac at Low Beam Intensities ion, bunching, acceleration, operation 607

  The ANU Heavy Ion Facility comprises a 15 MV electrostatic accelerator followed by a superconducting linac booster. The beam is foil stripped in the terminal and then stripped again to provide high charge states at the entrance to the linac. Employment of double terminal stripping allows the system to accelerate beams with mass up to 70 amu. The disadvantage of double terminal stripping is low beam intensity of few particle nA delivered to the linac. The linac encompasses twelve β=0.1 lead tin plated Split Loop Resonators (SLR) housed in four module cryostats. One of the linac set up procedures that developed at ANU utilises U-bend at the end of the linac. One special wide Beam Profile Monitor (BPM) is installed after 90 degrees magnet. The technique allows to set correct phase by observing the displacement of beam profile versus phase shift of the last phase locked resonator. In this paper a simple method has been proposed to improve sensitivity of commercially available BPM for efficient operation with low beam intensities. The system demonstrated very high stability, simplicity of operation and high reliability allowing sustained operation of the LINAC facility.

Since in future the existing UNILAC (Universal Linear Accelerator) will be used as an injector for the FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) project, a new superconducting (sc) continuous wave (cw) linac at GSI is proposed to keep the Super Heavy Element (SHE) program at a competitive high level. In this context, a sc 217 MHz crossbar-H-mode (CH) cavity has been designed at the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP), Frankfurt University, and was built at Research Instruments (RI) GmbH, Germany. The cavity serves as a first prototype to demonstrate the reliable operability under a realistic accelerator environment and its successful beam operation will be a milestone on the way to the new linac. In this contribution measurements during the production process of the cavity as well as corresponding simulations will be presented.

Superconducting quarter-wave resonators (QWRs) are to be used in the ongoing linac upgrade of the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The cavities are made of niobium sputtered on copper substrates. They will be operated at 101.28 MHz at 4.5 K providing 6 MV/m accelerating gradient with 10 W power dissipation. In recent measurements, we found the thermal gradient along the cavity during the niobium superconducting transition has an impact on the cavity quality factor. On the other hand, the speed of the cooling down through the superconducting transition turned out to have no influence on the cavity Q-factor.

  The e-Linac cryomodules require high RF power, cryogenics, ultra-high vacuum, and precise mechanical adjustment. They require protection against of failures, like quench in the cavity, bad vacuum or multipacting in power couplers, low liquid helium level or high temperatures. The protection unit should stop RF power in the cryomodule in case of the listed failures. A Interlock Box is developed to implement protection function for the cryomodule. The paper will describe the design of Interlock Box for e-Linac cryomodule protection. As quench protection required, quench evolution analysis with RF transient analysis is investigated. The details of quench detection for e-Linac will also be reported.

  For the injector of the EU- XFEL one so-called 3.9 GHz module is required. This special module houses eight 3.9 GHz s.c. cavities, a beam position monitor and a quadrupole package. The cavities were fabricated and vertically tested as an in-kind contribution to the EU-XFEL by INFN Milano collaborators. The power couplers have been fabricated and conditioned by FNAL. The string assembly took place inside the ISO 4 cleanroom at DESY. A seven meter long alignment and assembly girder for this special string assembly has been designed and fabricated at DESY. The girder facilitates the assembly of the 3.9 GHz resonators with alternating power coupler orientation in ISO 4 cleanrooms. For redundancy and fast action on problems during string assembly, the DESY high pressure rinsing system (HPR) has been modified on the basis of the INFN Milano design for this 3.9 GHz application. The HPR has been qualified by four 3.9 GHz resonators, tested at INFN Milano. The integration of the cavities into Helium vessels, power coupler coupling factor and the power coupler assembly at DESY is qualified by one cavity that has been equipped with Helium tank and a power coupler and tested horizontally.

  The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EU-XFEL) cold linac consists of 100 assembled cryomodules, 6 feed-/end-boxes and 6 string connection boxes fixed to the ceiling of the accelerator tunnel; the injector consists of a radio frequency gun, one 1.3 GHz and one 3.9 GHz cryomodule, one feed- and one end-cap lying on ground supports. The components are connected together in the tunnel, after cold testing, transport, final positioning and alignment. The cold linac is a pressure equipment and is therefore subjected to the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). This paper describes the welding and subsequent non-destructive testing of the cryo-pipes (with a deeper look at the technical solutions adopted to satisfy the PED requirements), the assembly of the beam line absorbers and the final steps before closing the connection with a DN1000 bellows. A special paragraph will be dedicated to the connection of the injector components, where the lack of space makes this installation a particularly challenging task.

  ARIEL e-LINAC is a ½ MW-class SRF accelerator operated at 10 mA of average current. In the initial commissioning, e-LINAC will be tested with increasing duty factors from 0.1% up to CW mode. During the pulsed mode operation, beam loading causes cavity gradient fluctuation and therefore transient behaviour of SRF Cavity gradient needs to be studied in order to determine how the Low-level RF (LLRF) should be implemented. Performance of LLRF control system with and without non-adaptive feed-forward are simulated to determine the resulting beam energy spread and experimental measurements are proposed to measure the increase of beam size due to beam loading.

  There are several current and recent projects which explore the feasibility of spoke-loaded cavities operating in the high-velocity region. Spoke cavities have a large number of geometric parameters which often influence multiple rf properties. Fabricating, handling, and processing these cavities presents some unique challenges, not unlike other TEM-class structures. This paper will summarize the current efforts toward the design, fabrication, and testing of spoke cavities with optimum beta greater than 0.8.

  As the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) project ramps into production, vendor relations, cavity quality, and schedule become critical to success. The driver linac will be constructed of 332 cavities housed in 48 cryomodules and designed with two cavity classes (quarter-wave and half-wave) and four different betas (0.041, 0.085, 0.29, and 0.53). The cavities will be supplied to FRIB from awarded industrial vendors. FRIB’s experience with SRF cavity fabrication will be presented including acceptance inspections, test results, technical issues, and mitigation strategies.

After a general introduction on the LINAC, we will first remember and compare the different design choices taken for the two families of cryomodules. We will then present a summary of the techniques used for the preparation and integration of the cavities in the cryomodules, and compare the achieved performances with design parameters. At last, we describe the status of the LINAC installation as of end of August 2015.

  Recently we proposed a new project aimed at intensity upgrade of uranium beams of RIKEN RIBF. In this new project, construction of a superconducting linac is planned replacing the injector cyclotron so called RRC. The RIKEN superconducting linac consists of 14 cryomodules each of which contains four quarter-wave-resonators (QWRs) in each. The QWR operates at an rf frequency of 73 MHz in the continuous wave mode with beta as low as 0.055-1.008. A coaxial probe-type RF fundamental power-coupler which transmits RF power of several kW will be utilized for beam loading of 1.3 kW/resonator at the maximum with Qext of several x106. Tuning of the resonant frequency will be realized with a mechanical tuner pressing the resonator wall in the direction parallel to the beam. This year, we started a development of a test cryomodule with SC-QWRs. In this paper, design studies for a SC-QWR and its cryomodule, e.g., QWR, coupler, and, tuner will be presented together with a construction schedule of the prototype. Prototyping of a superconducting cavity and its test cryomodule was funded by ImPACT Program of Council for Science, Technology and Innovation (Cabinet Office, Government of Japan).

  We usually met the degradation of superconducting RF cavity on the cryomodule test and beam operation even if the performance of this cavity is good on the vertical test (V.T). Field emission is the most severe problem for this degradation after reassembly work from vertical test. Not only high pressure rinsing (HPR) but also He-processing, which is more suitable method without the reassembly work for recovery, is recommended and tried to recover this degradation. However, we did not investigate the details of how field emission sources were processed and removed after HPR and He-processing. We deeply investigated the processing procedure during He-processing and how many field emission sources removed after HPR by using rotating X-ray mapping system* in V.T .

  Efficient damping of the higher-order modes (HOMs) of the superconducting cavities is essential for any high current operation. The talk will provide an overview on the latest advances of HOM absorber development for high intensity SRF applications. As the ideal absorber does not exist, the different conceptual approaches will be presented and the associated issues are outlined. Design examples from various labs will be given that help explain the issues and resolutions. Some focus will be given to the Cornell HOM beamline absorber that was design for high current, short bunch operation with up to 400 W heating. The design will be reviewed and testing results will be reported.

THPB002 Second Harmonic Cavity Design for Synchrotron Radiation Energy Compensator in eRHIC Project cavity, HOM, impedance, radiation 1052

  Funding: DOE
eRHIC project requires construction of a FFAG ring to accelerate electrons and connect to the existing ion ring of Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This new ring will have the same radius as the RHIC ring. Synchrotron radiation lost in the electron ring should be compensated by a CW superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavity. Here we propose an 845 MHz single cell harmonic cavity. This cavity will experience a high average current (∼0.7 A) passing through it. With this consideration, this cavity design requires optimization to reduce higher order mode power. On the other hand, the cavity will operate at relatively high gradient up to 18 MV/m. Current design requires fundamental couplers to handle 400 kW forward RF power and HOM couplers to extract 2.5 kW HOM power.

  A superconducting half-wave resonator has been designed with frequency of 325 MHz and beta of 0.51. The geometry parameters and the three shapes of inner conductors (racetrack, ring-shape and elliptical-shape) were studied in details to decrease the peak electromagnetic fields to obtain higher accelerating gradients and minimize the dissipated power on the RF walls. To suppress the operation frequency shift caused by the helium pressure fluctuations and maximize the tuner ranges, the frequency shifts and mechanical characters were simulated in the electric and magnetic areas separately. At the end, the helium vessel was also designed to keep stability as possible. The fabrication and test of the prototype will be complete at the beginning of 2016.

  Longitudinally-welded 72 mm ID service pipes (HSP) made from titanium grade 2 is used by the two suppliers of the helium tanks for the EU-XFEL accelerator. From the perspective of the PED DESY is legally designated as the manufacturer and is responsible for conformity to all relevant codes. During module assemblies at CEA Saclay the orbital welds of the interconnection bellows between cavities showed pores with dimensions outside the specifications set by DESY. These welds needed to be redone which caused a project delay of several months. The X-ray examination of the HSP showed that the pipes already exhibited many out-of- DESY spec pores in the longitudinal welds and were most likely the main cause of the problems in the orbital welds. It was decided to replace the extremities of the service pipes with seamless titanium tubes both on “naked” helium tanks as well as on tanks with cavities already welded in. At DESY more than 750 service pipes were exchanged over a period of 2 years. The qualification of the repair line according to PED regulation and the prove with RF test at 2 K that the repairs do not influence the high performance of the s.c. cavities were done.

The BERLinPro Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) is currently being built at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin in order to study the accelerator physics of operating a high current, 100 mA, 50 MeV low emittance ERL utilizing all SRF cavity technology. For this machine three different types of SRF cavities are being developed. For the injector section, consisting of an SRF photoinjector and a three two cell booster cavity module, fabrication is completed. The cavities were designed at HZB and manufactured, processed and vertically tested at Jefferson Laboratory. In this paper we will review the design and production process of the two structures and show the latest horizontal acceptance tests at HZB prior to installation into the newly designed cryo-module. For the Linac cavity the latest cavity and module design studies are being shown.

  The ESS elliptical superconducting linac consists of two types of 704.42 MHz cavities, medium and high beta, to accelerate the beam from 216 MeV (spoke cavity linac) up to the full energy at 2 GeV. The last linac optimization, called Optimus+, has been carried out taking into account the limitations of SRF cavity performance (field emission). The medium and high-beta parts of the linac are composed of 36 and 84 elliptical cavities, with geometrical beta values of 0.67 and 0.86 respectively. We describe here the procedures and numerical analysis leading from half-cells to a complete medium cavity assembly, which take into account not only the frequency of the fundamental accelerating mode but also the higher order modes near the machine line. The half cell selection process to form dumb bells will be described, as well as the reshaping and trimming procedure.

  For the European XFEL more than 800 superconducting cavities need to be treated. At least 65 quality documents per cavity have to be emitted and transferred to DESY by the vendor; two acceptance levels must be passed successfully to release a cavity for transportation to DESY. All quality documents, non-conformity reports and acceptance levels are automatically processed by using DESY’s Engineering Data Management System (EDMS). We summarize documentation methods, document transfer procedures, review and release processes; we describe the exchange of process information between customer and vendor; and report about experiences.

  The ARIEL e-Linac RF deflecting cavity is a 650 MHz superconducting deflecting mode cavity that will allow simultaneous beam delivery to both the Rare Isotope Beam program and an Energy Recovery Linac. The cavity will be operated at 4 K and with deflecting voltages of up 0.6 MV, resulting in a dissipated RF power of less than 1 W. Due to the modest performance requirements, alternative methods are being employed for the fabrication of this cavity. These include fabricating the entire cavity from reactor grade Niobium and welding the cavity using tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding in a high purity Argon environment. A post purification heat treatment will be performed in an RF induction oven to increase the cavity performance.

  A 650 MHz SRF deflecting mode cavity has been designed for the ARIEL e-Linac to separate interleaved beams heading towards either Rare Ion Beam production or a recirculation loop for energy recovery, allowing the e-Linac to provide beam delivery to multiple users simultaneously. The cavity geometry has been optimized for the ARIEL specifications, resulting in a very compact cavity with high shunt impedance and low dissipated power. Analyses have been performed on the susceptibility to multipacting, input coupling considering beam loading and microphonics, and extensive studies into the damping of transverse and longitudinal higher order modes. The pressure sensitivity, frequency tuning, and thermal behaviour have also been studied using ANSYS. The cavity design resulting from these considerations will be discussed here.

THPB066 RF Analysis of Equator Welding Stability for the European XFEL Cavities cavity, controls, HOM, factory 1272
 
  • A.A. Sulimov
    DESY, Hamburg, Germany
 
  In order to guaranty a sufficient High Order Modes (HOM) damping in the European XFEL cavities, a detailed analysis of the mechanical cavity production was performed. The mechanical measurements are precise enough to control the shape of cavity parts, but cannot be used for a welded cavity. To estimate the shape deformation during equator welding, the eigenfrequencies of cavity cells are compared with frequencies of cavity parts. This simple RF analysis can indicate irregularity of 9 equator welds and was used in addition to control of mean values for longitudinal and transverse deformations.

A 422 MHz cavity was designed for high current FFAG lattice ERLs for high luminosity eRHIC. The cavity was optimized to be able to propagate all the HOMs out of the cavity for high BBU threshold current and low HOM power (loss factor). Coupling the full spectrum (up to 30 GHz) HOMs out of the cavity and delivering the HOM power (up to 8 kW) out of the cryomodule is a challenge. A damping scheme with 6 coaxial line HOM couplers for low frequency HOMs and 3 waveguide HOM dampers for high frequency (so that the waveguide is small) is proposed to damp the full spectrum and high power HOMs. This paper will present the cavity design and HOM damping scheme.

  The LCLS-II 4 GeV SC electron linac will use 280 TESLA cavities and TTF3 couplers, modified for CW operation with input power up to about 7 kW. The coupler modifications include shortening the antenna to achieve higher Qext and thickening the copper plating on the warm section inner conductor to lower the peak temperature. Another change is the use a waveguide transition box that is machined out of a solid piece of aluminum, significantly reducing its cost and improving its fit to the warm coupler window section. This paper describes the changes, simulations of the coupler operation (heat loads and temperatures), rf processing results and CW tests with LCLS-II dressed cavities.

Before installing the power couplers with the cavities, they have to be assembled on Power Coupler Test Stand(PCTS) and conditioned with a 30 kW IOT. Six couplers have been conditioned at room temperature and four of them have been installed to the cavities and tested during beam commissioning. Test results of the power couplers will be described and discussed in this paper.

The superconducting part of the ESS linear accelerator includes 28 b=0.5 352.2 MHz SRF niobium double Spoke cavities. Paired in 13 cryomodules and held at 2K in a saturated helium bath those cavities will generate of an accelerating field of 9MV/m. The prototype Spoke cryomodule holds two cavities and their RF power couplers and integrates all the interfaces necessary to be operational within the linac machine. It is now being fabricated and its assembly will be performed with dedicated tooling and procedures in and out of the clean room. This prototype will be tested by the end of 2015 at IPNO site and then at full power at FREIA (Uppsala university) test stand. A valve box has thus been designed to take into account the specific features of this prototype cryomodule and of the cryogenic environments of both test sites. This valve box is also considered as a prototype of the cryogenic distribution of the linac Spoke section. This element will then be used for the tests of the series cryomodules. We propose to present this prototype Spoke cryomodule for ESS and the test valve box.

  TRIUMF's ARIEL project includes a 50 MeV-10mA electron linear accelerator (e-Linac) using 1.3 GHz superconducting technology. The accelerator consists of three cryomodules; an injector cryomodule with one cavity and two accelerating cryomodules with two cavities each. One injector and one accelerator have been assembled and commissioned at TRIUMF with a second injector cryomodule being assembled for VECC in Kolkata. Both Injector and Accelerator cryomodules utilize a top-loaded cold mass design contained in a box-type cryomodule; design and early test results of both cryomodules are presented.
