  To meet the requirements of conducting high energy density physics and plasma physics research at HIRFL-CSR. The higher accelerating gap voltage was required. A magnetic alloy (MA)-core loaded radio frequency (RF) cavity which can provide higher accelerating gap voltage has been studied in Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMP, CAS), Lanzhou. To select proper MA material to load the RF cavity, measurement for MA cores has been conducted. The MA core with higher shunt impedance and lower than 1 quality factor (Q value) should be selected. The theoretical calculation and simulation for the MA-core loaded RF cavity can be consistent with each other well. Finally 1000kW power was needed to meet 50-kV accelerating gap voltage by calculation.

  An input power system is currently being designed at ESS-Bilbao in order to inject the RF power provided by a klystron into the RFQ as part of the linac. In this work, some input power couplers based on a coaxial topology are carefully studied from an electromagnetic point of view. As we will show, the electrical properties of the ceramic window used to ensure the vacuum of the RFQ crucially deteriorates the matching of the devices. To overcome this drawback, a full-wave electromagnetic simulator is used to optimize the coupler dimensions in order to minimize both the return and insertion losses.

  This work will present the design of the ESS-Bilbao LINAC RFQ cold model. The process goes through the electromagnetic design of the cavity by properly setting the resonant quadrupole and dipole modes, as well as the resonance frequency. The prototype includes the vane modulation designed to accelerate a 75 mA proton beam from 75 keV to 3 MeV, with an operating frequency of 352.2 MHz. To this end, electromagnetic and electrostatic simulations have been performed by means of the commercial software COMSOL. Furthemore, results for the three components of the electrical field distribution will be presented and compared to those calculated by evaluating the 8-term multipole expansion.

RF Breakdown experiments on short accelerating structures at SLAC have shown that increased rf magnetic fields increase the probability of rf breakdowns. Moreover, the breakdown rate is highly correlated with the peak pulse-heating in soft-copper single-cell standing-wave structures of disk-loaded waveguide type. In these geometries the rf electric and magnetic fields are highly correlated. To separate effects of rf magnetic and electric fields on the rf breakdown rate, we have designed an X-band cavity with a geometry as close to that of a standing-wave accelerator cell as practically possible. This cavity supports two modes: an accelerating TM mode and a TE mode with no-surface-electric field but with a strong magnetic field. The cavity will be constructed and tested at the Accelerator Structure Test Area (ASTA) at SLAC.

Niobium (Nb) is the most popular material that has been employed for making superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities to be used in various particle accelerators over the last couple of decades. One of the most important steps in fabricating Nb SRF cavities is the final chemical removal of 150 μm of Nb from the inner surfaces of the SRF cavities. This is usually done by either buffered chemical polishing (BCP) or electropolishing (EP). Recently a new Nb surface treatment technique called buffered electropolishing (BEP) has been developed at Jefferson Lab. It has been demonstrated that BEP can produce the smoothest surface finish on Nb ever reported in the literature while realizing a Nb removal rate as high as 10 μm/min that is more than 25 and 5 times quicker than those of EP and BCP(112) respectively. In this contribution, recent advance in optimizing and understanding BEP treatment technique is reviewed. Latest results from RF measurements on BEP treated Nb single cell cavities by our unique vertical polishing system will be reported.

TUPC025 Calibration Errors in the Cavity Beam Position Monitor System at the ATF2 cavity, lepton, closed-orbit, simulation 1051

  It has been shown at the Accelerator Test Facility at KEK, that it is possible to run a system of 37 cavity beam position monitors (BPMs) and achieve high working resolution. However, stability of the calibration constants (position scale and radio frequency (RF) phase) over a three/four week running period is yet to be demonstrated. During the calibration procedure, random beam jitter gives rise to a statistical error in the position scale and slow orbit drift in position and tilt causes systematic errors in both the position scale and RF phase. These errors are dominant and have been evaluated for each BPM. The results are compared with the errors expected after a tested method of beam jitter subtraction has been applied.

  Nowadays, a cyclotron CYCHU-10 used for PET is under construction in Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) due to the growing demands in medical applications. For space-saving and low energy consumption, the CYCHU-10 was designed compactly and accurately, especially for the RF cavity consists of the valley of the magnetic pole and the dee electrodes installed on the vacuum chamber. The RF system will supply a 10kw power and large part of it will transform into thermal energy. This paper will introduce the thermal deformation of the RF cavity and the main vacuum chamber. Meanwhile the finite elements analysis thermal deformation with ANSYS Products will be present. Finally, the cooling system for the RF cavity will be carefully designed due to the result of thermo analysis and the mechanical tolerance demand in the RF system.
