The Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin is constructing the Energy Recovery Linac Prototype BERLinPro, a demonstration facility for the science and technology of ERLs for future light source applications. BERLinPro is designed to accelerate a high current (100 mA, 50 MeV), high brilliance (norm. emittance below 1 mm mrad) cw electron beam. We report on the project status. This includes the completion of the building and the installation of the first accelerator components as well as the assembly of the SRF gun and GunLab beam diagnostics, which are now ready for commissioning.

The Superconducting RF (SRF) photoinjector programme for the energy-recovery linac (ERL) test facility BERLinPro sets out to push the brightness and average current limits for ERL electron sources by tackling the main challenges related to beam dynamics of SRF photoinjectors, the incorporation of high quantum efficiency (QE) photocathodes, and suppression of unwanted beam generation. The paper details the experimental layout of the SRF photoinjector and the gun test facility GunLab at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin.

Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) is currently building an high average current superconducting ERL to demonstrate ERL operation with low normalized beam emittance of 1 mm·mrad at 100mA and short pulses of about 2 ps. For the injector section a series of SRF photoinjector cavities is being developed. The medium power prototype presented here features a 1.4 x λ/2 cell SRF cavity with a normal-conducting, high quantum efficiency CsK2Sb cathode, implementing a modified HZDR-style cathode insert. This injector potentially allows for 6 mA beam current at up to 3.5 MeV kinetic energy. In this contribution, the first RF commissioning results of the photo-injector module will be presented and compared to the level of performance during the cavity production and string assembly process.

THPAB095 Detuning Compensation in SC Cavities Using Kalman Filters 3938

  For CW driven superconducting cavities operating at small bandwidth, like in ERL or FEL light sources, it is mandatory to precisely control any source of detuning. Therefore, a Kalman [1] filter based approach was developed and implemented as FPGA firmware to act as the core part of a detuning compensation algorithm. It relies on a fit by a second order model to a measured transfer function of cavity's forced oscillations with damping, caused by piezo drives and data about observed current phase with some adjustable confidence rate. The initial data for this core is taken from field detection firmware on mTCA.4's SIS8300-L2 digitizer, transferred by low latency links to a carrier board equipped by piezo drive controller where the DSP processing by the Kalman algorithm performed. The processing is characterized by a 550 kHz rate in pipeline mode and occupies almost all DSP resources of the Spartan 6 FPGA chip. The experimental results of detuning compensating technique applied to a SC photoinjector cavity are presented in this contribution.

  We present a compact RF control system for SCRF single cavities based on MicroTCA.4 equipped with specialized advanced mezzanine cards (AMCs) and rear transition modules (RTMs). To sense the RF signals from the cavity and to drive the high power source, a DRTM-DWC8VM1 module is used equipped with 8 analog field detectors and one RF vector modulator. Fast cavity frequency tuning is achieved by piezo-actuators attached to the cavity and a RTM piezo-driver module (DRTM-PZT4). Data processing of the RF signals and the real-time control algorithms are implemented on a Virtex-6 FPGA and a Spartan FPGAs within two AMCs (SIS8300-L2V2 and DAMC-FMC20). The compact single cavity control system was tested at Cryo Module Test Bench (CMTB) at DESY. Software and firmware were developed to support all possible modes, the short pulse (SP), the long pulse (LP) and CW operation mode with duty cycles ranging from 1 % to 100%. The SP mode used a high power multi-beam klystron at low QL ~3·106. For the LP mode (up to 50% duty cycle) and the CW mode a 120 kW IOT tube was used at QL up to 1.5·107. Within this paper we present the achieved performance and report on the operation experience on such system.
