	We describe the design and technical characteristics of a C-band SW accelerating structure of a 12 MeV race-track microtron, which is under construction at the Technical University of Catalonia, and its RF system with a 5712 MHz magnetron as a source. Results of cold tests of the accelerating structure, before and after the brazing, and of high-power tests of the RF system at a special stand are reported. The main features of the magnetron frequency stabilization subsystem are also outlined.

MOPC047	RF Design of the Re-buncher Cavities for the LIPAC Deuteron Accelerator	184
	A. Lara, I. Podadera, F. Toral CIEMAT, Madrid, Spain
	Funding: Work partially supported by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under project ENE2009-11230. Re-buncher cavities are an essential component of LIPAC (Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator), presently being built at Rokkasho (Japan). The deuteron beam exiting from the RFQ (Radio Frequency Quadrupole) structure has to be properly adapted to the superconducting RF (SRF) linac. Re-bunchers are placed in the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line and their objective is to longitudinally focus the deuteron beam. IFMIF re-bunchers must provide a 350 kV E0LT at 175 MHz continuous wave (CW). The available length for the re-buncher is limited by the general layout of the MEBT. The high power dissipation derived from the high effective voltage and the short available length is an important design challenge. Four different normal conducting cavity designs were investigated: the pillbox type, double gap coaxial resonators, and multi-gap quarter wave and H resonators. The performance of these cavities was studied with the numerical codes HFSS and ANSYS. The fundamental frequency and field pattern of each re-buncher was investigated in HFSS. This work presents the results of such analyses.

	Funding: Work partially supported by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under SEI Resolution on 17-September-2009 In this report the development of a quadrupole mover with submicron repeatability is reported, which will be used in the intersections of the Undulator Systems of the European XFEL (EXFEL). It is part of the Spanish in-kind contribution to this facility. The main specifications include submicron repeatability for a 70 kg quadrupole magnet within compact dimensions and a ±1.5 mm stroke in the vertical and horizontal direction. Compact linear actuators based on 5-phase stepping motors have been chosen. Vertical actuator works in a wedge configuration to take mechanical advantage. A closed-loop control system has been developed to achieve this repeatability. For the feedback, one LVDT sensor for each axis was used. Mechanical switches are used to limit movement. In addition, hard-stops are included for emergency. Prototyping stage is done and a serial production of more than 90 devices is expected, so intense work has been done to achieve a reliable industrial production and validation. In this report, results of mechanical measurements including reproducibility, tests of different operation strategies and critical situations will be reported.

TUPC011	Striplines for CLIC Pre-Damping and Damping Rings*	1012

	The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) study explores the scheme for an electron-positron collider with high luminosity and a nominal center-of-mass energy of 3 TeV: CLIC would complement LHC physics in the multi-TeV range. The CLIC design relies on the presence of Pre-Damping Rings (PDR) and Damping Rings (DR) to achieve, through synchrotron radiation, the very low emittance needed to fulfil the luminosity requirements. The specifications for the kicker systems are very challenging and include very low beam coupling impedance and excellent field homogeneity: striplines have been chosen for the kicker elements. Analytical calculations have been carried out to determine the effect of tapering upon the high frequency beam coupling impedance. In addition detailed numerical modeling of the field homogeneity has been performed and the sensitivity of the homogeneity to various parameters, including stripline cross-section, has been studied. This paper presents the main conclusions of the beam impedance calculations and field homogeneity predictions.

WEPO014	Magnetic Design of Quadrupoles for the Medium and High Energy Beam Transport line of the LIPAC Accelerator	2424
	C. Oliver, B. Brañas, A. Ibarra, I. Podadera, F. Toral CIEMAT, Madrid, Spain
	Funding: Work partially supported by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under project AIC10-A-000441 and ENE2009-11230. The LIPAC accelerator will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA cw deuteron accelerator which will verify the validity of the design of the future IFMIF accelerator. A Medium Energy Beam Transport line (MEBT) is necessary to handle the high current beam from the RFQ to the Superconducting RF accelerating cavities (SRF) whereas a High Energy Beam Transport line (HEBT) is used to match the beam from the SRF to the beam dump. The high space charge and beam power determine the beam dynamics in both transport lines. As a consequence, magnets with strong fields in a reduced space are required. Along the transport beamlines, there are different types of quadrupoles with steerers and a dipole. Special care is devoted to maximize the integrated fields in the available space. Both 2-D and 3-D magnetic calculations are used to optimize coil configurations. Magnetic performance and cost, both of magnet and power supply, have been taken into account for final choice. In this paper, the design of the resistive quadrupoles of the MEBT and HEBT of the LIPAC accelerator is presented.

WEPS058	The Medium Energy Beam Transport Line (MEBT) of IFMIF/EVEDA LIPAc	2628

	Funding: Work partially supported by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under project AIC10-A-000441 and ENE2009-11230. The IFMIF-EVEDA Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc)will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA CW deuteron accelerator which aims to validate the technology that will be used in the future IFMIF accelerator. The acceleration of the beam will be carried out in two stages. An RFQ will increase the energy up to 5 MeV before a Superconducting RF (SRF) linac made of a chain of eight Half Wave Resonators bring the particles to the final energy. Between both stages, a Medium Energy Beam Transport line (MEBT) is in charge of transporting and matching the beam between the RFQ and the SRF. The transverse focusing of the beam is controlled by five quadrupole magnets with integrated steerers, grouped in one triplet and one doublet. Two buncher cavities surrounding the doublet handle the longitudinal dynamics. Two movable collimators are also included to purify the beam optics coming out the RFQ and avoid losses in the SRF. From the inputs of the beam dynamics group, CIEMAT is in charge of designing, manufacturing and integrating all the components of the beamline. In this contribution, the MEBT subsystem will be described and the main objectives and issues for each component will be discussed.

	Funding: Work partially supported by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under project AIC10-A-000441 and ENE2009-11230. The IFMIF-EVEDA accelerator will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA CW deuteron accelerator which aims to validate the technology that will be used in the future IFMIF accelerator. The SRF Linac design is based on superconducting Half Wave Resonators (HWR) cavities operating at 4.4 K. Due to space charge associated to the high intensity beam, a short, but strong, superconducting focusing magnet package is necessary between cavities. The selected configuration has been a superconducting NbTi solenoid acting as a magnetic lens and a concentric outer solenoid in antiparallel configuration to reduce the dangerous stray field on the cavities. The selected arrangement for the steerers is a pair of parallel racetrack coils for each vertical and horizontal axis. This paper describes the manufacturing techniques of the different coils, and the test realized in warm and cold conditions, with special attention to the training test of the main solenoid, as the nominal working point in the load line is very high (86.2%).

	Funding: Work partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under SEI Resolution on 17-September-2009. The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EXFEL) will be based on a 10 to 17.5 GeV electron linac. Its beam will be used in three undulator systems to obtain ultra-brilliant X-ray flashes from 0.1 to 6 nanometres for experimentation. The undulator systems are formed by 5m long undulator segments and 1.1m long intersections in between. They accommodate a quadrupole on top of a precision mover, a beam position monitor, two air coil correctors and a phase shifter. The function of the phase shifter is to adjust the phase of the electron beam with respect to that of the radiation field when the wavelength is changed by tuning the gap. In this context, CIEMAT will deliver 92 phase shifters, as part of the Spanish in-kind contribution to the EXFEL project. This paper describes the engineering design, the manufacturing techniques and the mechanical and magnetic tests realized on the first prototypes.
