Nowadays, cryogenic current comparators (CCCs) are among the most accurate devices for measuring extremely small electric currents. Probably the most interesting property of this equipment, is the excellent position independence of the current passing through it. This feature motivated the use of CCCs for beam instrumentation in particle accelerators. A typical CCC consists of a ferrite core, a pick-up coil, a superconducting quantum interference device, appropriate electronics and superconducting shielding consisting of a meander structure. This configuration offers a strong attenuation for all the magnetic field components, except for the azimuthal one. Thus, high precision measurements of extremely low beam currents are made possible. The damping performance of this device is analysed in this work. A 3D finite element (FE) analysis has been carried out and the computed results were compared to an analytical model*. Furthermore, in order to reduce the computation time, a 2.5D FE model is also proposed and discussed.

In order to reduce the energy spread of the recirculated beam, the injector of the S-DALINAC needs to be optimized, because the non-isochronous recirculation cannot correct for errors originating from the injector linac. For the S-DALINAC, spatial restrictions suggest the use of SRF technology for the capture section. In this work, we consider various SRF cavities with an operating frequency of 3 GHz for a possible upgrade of the capture section of the S-DALINAC. The first results of the RF and beam dynamics simulations for the proposed options are presented in this paper.
