TUPC080	Pickup Design with Beta Matching	1189
	J.A. Tsemo Kamga, W.F.O. Müller, K.K. Stavrakakis, T. Weiland TEMF, TU Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany
	Funding: Work supported by GSI The main goal of this project is to investigate the Schottky noise of an ion beam in the frequency range from 3 to 5 GHz. In order to accomplish this task, a pickup design is required. For an efficient study of this Schottky noise the pickup sensitivity for low beta must be increased. A design for such a problem has been developed by McGinnis for a fixed beam velocity but can also be used for variable beta by using a tunable material (ferroelectric) inside the waveguide. Since such tunable materials like for instance BST (Barium Strontium Titanate) are lossy, the impact of dielectric losses on the pickup sensitivity will also be investigated in this work. Additionally to the classical parameter studies where multiple simulation runs based on the original numerical model are initiated to characterize the various design parameters it is also possible to utilize a reduced model instead. In particular one is interested in a fast evaluation of the frequency response while taking also material variations into account. In this work, a multivariate parameterized dynamical system is set up and used complementary to the full model for the required beam characterization.

	Funding: Work supported by BMBF under contract 05H09RD5 In the Superconducting Proton Linac (SPL) cavity, there is not only the fundamental mode for the particle acceleration but also many higher order modes (HOMs), which can lead to particle beam instabilities. This is very dangerous for SPL cavity. Therefore it is necessary to simulate the electromagnetic field in the SPL cavity, so that the field distribution and the shunt impedance for every higher order mode can be precisely calculated. At TEMF this research work can be done in three different ways: field simulation with hexahedron mesh in frequency domain, field simulation with hexahedron mesh in time domain and field simulation with tetrahedral mesh and higher order curvilinear elements. Finally the HOM coupler will be considered for the effective damping of higher order modes in the SPL cavity.
