| We describe the design, fabrication and preliminary testing of the prototype 201 MHz copper cavity for a muon ionization cooling channel. Application of the cavity includes the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) as well as cooling channels for a neutrino factory or a muon collider. This cavity was developed by the US MUCOOL collaboration and is being tested in the MUCOOL Test Area (MTA) at Fermilab. In order to achieve a high accelerating gradient, the cavity beam irises are terminated by a pair of curved, thin beryllium windows. Several of the fabrication methods developed for this cavity and the windows are novel and offer significant cost savings compared to conventional construction methods. Cavity thermal and RF performance will be compared to FEA modeling predictions. RF commissioning results will be presented. |
