WEPWO053 | SRF Development for a MW Proton Source at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory | 2423 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the US Department of Energy Fermilab is planning a megawatt-level proton beam facility utilizing niobium superconducting RF (SRF) cavities. Project X at Fermilab will eventually provide high-intensity beams for research into the nature of matter at the "intensity frontier". Research and development in several areas will bring the SRF technology to the level needed for this application. Among developments in SRF being pursued with our national and international collaborators are 162.5 MHz half-wave resonators, 325 MHz single-spoke resonators, and two types of elliptical multi-cell 650 MHz cavities. Performance requirements for these cavities and cryomodules in continuous wave (CW) operation are extremely stringent in order to provide high accelerating gradients with acceptable total cryogenic load and overall accelerator capital and operating costs. This paper presents some highlights of the SRF R&D program and proton linac development work at Fermilab. |

WEPWO082 | Ferroelectric Based High Power Tuner for L-band Accelerator Applications | 2486 |
|
||
Funding: US Department of Energy With this paper, we present our recent breakthrough with a new fast ferroelectric tuner development. The tuner is based on BST(M) ferroelectric elements (ε~150), which are designed to be used as the basis for L-band accelerator components intended for ERL, ILC, Project X and other applications. These new ferroelectric elements are to be fabricated for the new fast active tuner for SC cavities that can operate in air at low biasing DC fields. Note there were no reliable results on the long-term piezo actuators operations in CW regime. Specific features of ERL, ILC and Project X accelerator technology and challenges of the designs are high magnitude and phase stability of its operations. Mechanical vibrations, or microphonics affect the SRF resonator, while the ferroelectric tuners have shown extremely high tuning speed. We have demonstrated successful mitigation of the residual effects on the ferroelectric-metal interface along with the acceptable level of the overall loss factor of the tuner element. A new concepts of a tuning element based on low dielectric constant ferroelectrics along with fabrication technology of these new BST(M) ferroelectric elements will be presented. |

WEPFI070 | Design of RFQ Coupler for PXIE Project | 2854 |
|
||
Design of new coupler for PXIE RFQ is reported. Two couplers are supposed to deliver ~ 100 kW total CW RF power to RFQ at 162.5 MHz. Coupler has a magnetic loop coupling with the RFQ. Nevertheless it allows to apply a HV bias to suppress a multipactor due to original design of the coupling loop. Results of RF, multipactor and thermal simulations are presented. | ||
