	Funding: Work supported by Fermilab Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359. Ionization cooling of intense muon beams requires the operation of high-gradient, normal-conducting RF structures within multi-Tesla magnetic fields. The application of strong magnetic fields has been shown to lead to an increase in vacuum RF breakdown. This phenomenon imposes operational (i.e. gradient) limitations on cavities in ionization cooling channels, and has a bearing on the design and operation of other RF structures as well, such as photocathodes and klystrons. We present recent results from Fermilab's MuCool Test Area (MTA), in which 201 and 805 MHz cavities were operated at high power both with and without the presence of multi-Tesla magnetic fields. We present an analysis of damage due to breakdown in these cavities, as well as measurements related to dark current and their relation to a conceptual model describing breakdown phenomena.

MOPMW026	Resonant Control for Fermilab's PXIE RFQ	447

	Funding: Work supported by Fermilab Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359. 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.

MOPMW030	High Powered Tests of Dielectric Loaded High Pressure RF Cavities for Use in Muon Cooling Channels	460

	Funding: This work is supported by the Fermilab Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359. Bright muon sources require six dimensional cooling to achieve acceptable luminosities. Ionization cooling is the only known method able to do so within the muon lifetime. One proposed cooling channel, the Helical Cooling Channel, utilizes gas filled radio frequency cavities to both mitigate RF breakdown in the presence of strong, external magnetic fields, and provide the cooling medium. Engineering constraints on the diameter of the magnets within which these cavities operate dictate the radius of the cavities be decreased at their nominal operating frequency. To accomplish this, one may load the cavities with a larger dielectric material. Alumina of purities ranging from 96 to 99.8% was tested in a high pressure RF test cell at the MuCool Test Area at Fermilab. The results of breakdown studies with pure nitrogen gas, and oxygen-doped nitrogen gas indicate the peak surface electric field on the alumina ranges between 10 and 15 MV/m. How these results affect the design of a prototype cooling channel cavity will be discussed.

MOPMW032	Study of RF Breakdown in 805MHz Pillbox Modular Cavity in Strong Magnetic Field	466

	RF breakdown has a negative impact on a cavity's performance, especially with the presence of strong magnetic fields. This issue can arise in designs of muon ionization cooling channel, RF guns, klystrons and in many other applications. The MuCool Test Area at Fermilab is the facility that allows us to study the effects of static magnetic field on RF cavity operation. As a part of this research program, we have tested an 805MHz pillbox "modular" cavity in strong external magnetic fields. The design of the cavity allowed for a better control over sources of systematic error. "Modular" structure of the cavity enables easy dismounting of the endplates to perform inspection of inner surfaces after each run as well as swapping endplates to study the effects of various materials on breakdown phenomenon. Coupler design ensures maximum electric field enhancement on cavity axis, thus reducing breakdown probability in the coupler region. The results and analysis from high-power runs with zero and non-zero external magnetic fields will be presented.

	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.
