MOAA01 | FRIB Project: Moving to Production Phase | cavity, SRF, cryomodule, linac | 1 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 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. |

MOPB005 | Developing a Setup to Measure Field Dependence of BCS Surface Resistance | cavity, niobium, radio-frequency, software | 77 |
|
|||
Funding: NSF/DOE The temperature-dependent part of the microwave surface resistance of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities has been shown experimentally to depend on the strength of the applied magnetic surface field. Several theories have recently been proposed to describe this phenomenon. In this paper we present work on the development of a microwave cavity setup for measuring the field-dependence with an applied DC magnetic field. |

MOPB063 | Design of the Superconducting LINAC for SARAF | cryomodule, cavity, cryogenics, linac | 250 |
|
|||
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. | |||

TUBA01 | Status of the SRF Systems at HIE-ISOLDE | cavity, cryomodule, vacuum, cryogenics | 481 |
|
|||
The HIE-ISOLDE project has been approved by CERN in 2009 and gained momentum after 2011. The final energy goal of the upgrade is to boost the radioactive beams of REX-ISOLDE from the present 3 MeV/u up to 10 MeV/u for A/q up to 4.5. This is to be achieved by means of a new superconducting linac, operating at 101.28 MHz and 4.5 K with independently phased quarter wave resonators (QWR). The QWRs are based on the Nb sputtering on copper technology, pioneered at CERN and developed at INFN-LNL for this cavity shape. Transverse focusing is provided by Nb-Ti superconducting solenoids. The cryomodules hosting the active elements are of the common vacuum type. In this contribution we will report on the recent advancements of the HIE-ISOLDE linac technical systems involving SRF technology. The paper is focused on the cavity production, on the experience with the assembly of the first cryomodule (CM1), and on the results of the first hardware commissioning campaign. | |||

TUPB020 | Recent Status New Superconducting CW Heavy Ion LINAC@GSI | cavity, linac, heavy-ion, ion | 589 |
|
|||
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. | |||

TUPB100 | CEA Experience and Effort to Limit Magnetic Flux Trapping in Superconducting Cavities | cryomodule, cavity, SRF, vacuum | 847 |
|
|||
Protecting superconducting cavities from the surrounding static magnetic field is considered as a key point to reach very good cavity performances. This can be achieved by both limiting the causes of magnetic flux around the cavity in the cryomodule, and enclosing cavities and/or cryomodules into magnetic shields. We will present the effort made at CEA into this direction: shield design, shield material characterization, at room and cryogenic temperature, and search and attenuation of the magnetic background present in the cryomodule during the cavities superconducting transition. This last point will be especially studied for the IFMIF project where the cryomodule houses the focusing magnets. Aspects of the cold magnetic shields for ESS will also be discussed. | |||

TUPB102 | Validation of Local Magnetic Shielding for FRIB Using a Prototype Cryomodule | cavity, operation, shielding, cryomodule | 857 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661, and the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant No. PHY-1102511. The local magnetic shield design and cryogenic magnetic shielding material for the FRIB QWR cryomodule was validated in a two cavity, one solenoid prototype cryomodule. The magnetic fields were measured inside and outside the magnetic shielding before, during, and after operation of an 8 T superconducting solenoid. The effect of demagnetization cycles of the solenoid was also examined. The magnetic field at the cavity’s high RF magnetic field area, inside the magnetic shield and with the solenoid off, was measured using a single-axis fluxgate to be less than 0.3 μT (3 mG) after cool down of the cryomodule. A 3.07 μT (30.7 mG) residual field was observed at high magnetic field area after conclusion of solenoid operation. This was attributed to the persistent currents circulating in the superconducting solenoid. Demagnetization cycles were therefore determined to be unnecessary for FRIB cryomodules, as long as the solenoid is normal conducting when the cavity is cooled through the superconducting critical temperature.

TUPB107 | Development of a Test Bench to Prepare the Assembly of the IFMIF LIPAC Cavity String | cavity, cryomodule, alignment, SRF | 879 |
|
|||
The IFMIF LIPAc cryomodule houses eight half-wave resonators and eight solenoids which will be assembled on a support frame in clean room. Due to the short lattice defined by beam dynamics constraints, there is not much room between two elements for the operators’ hands to connect them. In order to test, optimize and validate the clean room assembly procedures and the associated tools, a test bench, consisting of a frame, a little bigger than one eight of the final support has been manufactured. In order to start the tests before the delivery of the actual key components of the cryomodule, a dummy cavity, solenoid and coupler were manufactured and will be used to perform tests outside and inside the clean room to validate the assembly procedure and the tools. The mock-up will then be used to train the operators for the assembly of the whole string. | |||

FRAA06 | Construction and Performance of FRIB Quarter Wave Prototype Cryomodule | cryomodule, vacuum, alignment, cryogenics | 1446 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 The driver linac for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will require the production of 48 cryomodules. FRIB has completed the fabrication and testing of a β=0.085 quarter-wave cryomodule as a pre-production prototype. This cryomodule qualified the performance of the resonators, fundamental power couplers, tuners, and cryogenic systems of the β=0.085 quarter-wave design. In addition to the successful systems qualification; the ReA6 cryomodule build also verified the FRIB bottom up assembly and alignment method. The lessons learned from the ReA6 cryomodule build, as well as valuable fabrication, sourcing, and assembly experience are applied to the design and fabrication of FRIB production cryomodules. This paper will report the results of the β=0.085 quarter-wave cryomodule testing, fabrication, and assembly; production implications to future cryomodules will also be presented. Authors: |

FRBA01 | Technical and Logistical Challenges for IFMIF-LIPAC Cryomodule Construction | cryomodule, cavity, vacuum, cryogenics | 1453 |
|
|||
This paper provides an overview of the final design and fabrication status of the IFMIF cryomodule, including the design issues, and deals with the strategies implemented in order to mitigate the main technical and logistical risks identified. The seismic constraints as well as licensing requirements, transportation issue and assembly process are also addressed. The IFMIF cryomodule presented here will be part of the LIPAc project (Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator). It is a full scale prototype of one of the IFMIF accelerators, from the injector to the first cryomodule, aiming at validating the technical options for the future accelerator-based D-Li neutron source to produce high intensity high energy neutron flux for testing of candidate materials for use in fusion energy reactors. The cryomodule contains all the equipment to transport and accelerate a 125 mA deuteron beam from an input energy of 5 MeV up to 9 MeV. It consists of a horizontal cryostat of about 6 m long, 3 m high and 2 m wide, which includes 8 superconducting HWRs for beam acceleration working at 175 MHz and at 4.5 K, 8 power couplers to provide RF power to cavities, and 8 Solenoid Packages as focusing elements. | |||
