TUPB080 | Diagnostic Developments at CERN’s SRF Testing Facility | cavity, diagnostics, SRF, niobium | 778 |
|
|||
As part of CERN’s re-establishment of an SRF cold testing facility for bulk niobium cavities, diagnostic instrumentation and testing procedures on our vertical cryostat have been upgraded, with particular attention given to quench location, ambient magnetic field control, thermometry and thermal cycling techniques. In addition, preparation and measurement procedures have been addressed, allowing for improved measurement of cavity properties and detailed study of transient effects during the course of cavity testing. | |||

TUPB081 | Multi-Cell Temperature Mapping and Conclusions | cavity, SRF, controls, cryogenics | 783 |
|
|||
Multi-cell temperature mapping (T-map) system has been developed and applied on SRF Nb cavities vertical tests (VT) at Cornell. It has nearly two thousand thermometers and achieved a 1mK resolution of niobium surface temperature rinsing in superfluid helium . We have upgraded the system to be capable of monitoring the temperature profiles of quench spot on cavity. The recent results of T-map during cavity tests and details will be reported. | |||

THPB050 | Performance Evaluation of HL-LHC Crab Cavity Prototypes in a CERN Vertical Test Cryostat | cavity, SRF, HOM, electron | 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. |

THPB098 | Testing of 325 MHz Couplers at Test Stand in Resonance Mode | cavity, resonance, multipactoring, rf-amplifier | 1376 |
|
|||
The linear accelerator for the PIP-II program utilizes two types of 325 MHz Single Spoke resonator cavities: SSR-I and SSR-II. Operating power of SSR-II is about 17 kW and requires input couplers which can reliably work at power levels > 20 kW with full reflection at any reflected phase. Currently only one 10 kW RF amp is available for coupler testing. To increase testing power, a special resonance configuration were used. This configuration allows us to raise RF power approximately 3 times. The testing scheme and results are discussed in the paper. | |||

THPB102 | RF Conditioning of the XFEL Power Couplers at the Industrial Scale | vacuum, pick-up, electron, controls | 1387 |
|
|||
LAL has in charge the production monitoring and the RF conditioning of 800 power couplers to equip 100 XFEL cryomodules. The conditioning process and all the preceding preparation steps are performed in a 70m2 clean room. This infrastructure, its equipment and the RF station are designed to allow the treatment of 8 couplers in the same time, after a ramp-up phase. Clean room process and conditioning results are presented and discussed. | |||
