The RFQ for Fermilab's PXIE test program is designed to accelerate a < 10 mA H CW beam to 2.1 MeV. The RFQ has a four-vane design, with four modules brazed together for a total of 4.45 m in length. The RF power required is < 130 kW at 162.5 MHz. A 3 kHz limit on the maximum allowable frequency error is imposed by the RF amplifiers. This frequency constraint must be managed entirely through differential cooling of the RFQ's vanes and outer body and associated material expansion. Simulations indicate that the body and vane coolant temperature should be controlled to within 0.1 degrees C. We present the design of the cooling network and the resonant control algorithm for this structure, as well as results from initial operation.

  In our previous papers we provided the general concept and the design details of our proposed Co-linear X-band Energy Booster (CXEB) as well as more advanced 3D simulations of our system using the frequency domain solvers OMEGA3P and S3P of the ACE3P Suite. Here, using the time domain solver T3P of ACE3P, we provide the single bunch and multiple bunch wakefield excitations resulting from a Gaussian bunch. The related power extraction mechanism for our traveling wave (TW) X-band power extraction cavity (PEC) are also discussed further.

  Due to their higher intrinsic shunt impedance X-band accelerating structures offer significant gradients with relatively modest input powers, and this can lead to more compact light sources. At the Colorado State University Accelerator Laboratory (CSUAL) [1] we would like to adapt this technology to our 1.3-GHz, L-band accelerator system using a passively driven 11.7 GHz traveling wave X-band configuration that capitalizes on the high shunt impedances achievable in X-band accelerating structures in order to increase our overall beam energy in a manner that does not require investment in an expensive, custom, high-power X-band klystron system. Here we provide the comparisons of the important parameters achieved using SUPERFISH and OMEGA3P for our Co-linear X-band Energy Booster (XCEB) system that will allow us to achieve our goal of reaching the maximum practical net potential across the X-band accelerating structures while driven solely by the beam from the L-band system.

  While simulation tools are available and have been used regularly for simulating light sources, the increasing availability and lower cost of GPU-based processing opens up new opportunities. This poster highlights a method of how accelerating and parallelizing code processing through the use of COTS software interfaces.

  Both the NuMI (Neutrinos and the Main Injector) beam line, that has been providing intense neutrino beams for several Fermilab experiments (MINOS, MINERVA, NOVA), and the newly proposed LBNF (Long Baseline Neutrino Facility) beam line which plans to produce the highest power neutrino beam in the world for DUNE (the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) need pulsed magnetic horns to focus the mesons which decay to produce the neutrinos. The high-current horn and stripline design has been evolving as NuMI reconfigures for higher beam power and to meet the needs of the LBNF design. The CSU particle accelerator group has aided the neutrino physics experiments at Fermilab by producing EM simulations of magnetic horns and the required high-current striplines. In this paper, we present calculations, using the Poisson and ANSYS Maxwell 3D codes, of the EM interaction of the stripline plates of the NuMI horns at critical stress points. In addition, we give the electrical simulation results using the ANSYS Electric code. These results are being used to support the development of evolving horn stripline designs to handle increased electrical current and higher beam power for NuMI upgrades and for LBNF

  There is a significant interest in developing high-average power electron sources, particularly in the area of electron sources integrated with Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) systems. For these systems, the electron gun and cathode parts are critical components for stable intensity and high-average powers. In this initial design study, we will present the design of a 9-cell accelerator cavity having a frequency of 1.3 GHz and the corresponding field optimization studies.

  As part of the PIP-II Injector Experiment (PXIE) accel-erator, a four-vane radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerates a 30-keV, 1-mA to 10-mA H' ion beam to 2.1 MeV. It is designed to operate at a frequency of 162.5 MHz with arbitrary duty factor, including continuous wave (CW) mode. The resonant frequency is controlled solely by a water-cooling system. We present an initial neural network model of the RFQ frequency response to changes in the cooling system and RF power conditions during pulsed operation. A neural network model will be used in a model predictive control scheme to regulate the resonant frequency of the RFQ.
