MOOCA2 | First Results From New Single-Cell Nb3Sn Cavities Coated at Cornell University | 40 |
|
||
Cavities coated with Nb3Sn at Cornell University demonstrate quality factors of >1010 at 4.2 K, outperforming equivalent niobium cavities by a factor of >30 at these bath temperatures. These quality factors have been maintained up to fields of 17-18 MV/m without significant Q-slope. Recently, new single-cell cavities have been added to the Cornell Nb3Sn programme in an effort to improve statistics and allow further exploration of the available parameter space. In this paper we report on the first results of these new cavities, as well as the latest performance from other cavities already in use on the programme. Furthermore, continuing work to optimise the coating procedure is reported on, and the latest understanding of the ideal coating profile is discussed. | ||

MOPVA115 | Status and Challenges of Vertical Electro-Polishing R&D at Cornell | 1115 |
|
||
Advanced Vertical Electro-Polishing (VEP) R&D for SRF Niobium cavities continues at Cornell's SRF group. One focus of this work is new EP cathode development in collaboration with KEK and Marui Galvanizing Co. Ltd (Marui) in Japan, and another focus is on HF free or acid free VEP protocols in collaboration with Faraday Technology Inc. The outcomes of these activities could be a significant cost reduction and an environmentally-friendlier VEP, which would be a breakthrough for future large scale EP applications on SRF cavities. Here we give a status update and report latest results from these R&D activities. | ||

MOPVA117 | Performance of a SRF Half-Wave-Resonator Tested at Cornell for the RAON Project | 1123 |
|
||
A prototype half-wave-resonator (HWR) with frequency 162.5MHz and geometrical \beta=0.12 for the RAON project is currently undergoing testing at Cornell University. Detailed vertical performance testing includes (1) test of the bare cavity without the helium tank; (2) test of the dressed cavity with helium tank. In this paper, we report on the development of the test infrastructure, test results, and performance data analysis. | ||

MOPVA121 | Frequency Tuner Development at Cornell for the RAON Half-Wave-Resonator | 1134 |
|
||
The half-wave-resonators (HWR) for the RAON pro-ject require a slow frequency tuner that can provide at least 80 kHz tuning range. Cornell University is currently in the process of designing, prototyping, and testing this HWR tuner. In this paper, we present the tuner design, prototype fabrication, and first test results. | ||

TUOCB3 | CBETA - Cornell University Brookhaven National Laboratory Electron Energy Recovery Test Accelerator | 1285 |
|
||
Funding: New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) Cornell's Lab of Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE) and the Collider Accelerator Department (BNL-CAD) are developing the first SRF multi-turn energy recovery linac with Non-Scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (NS-FFAG) racetrack. The existing injector and superconducting linac at Cornell University are installed together with a single NS-FFAG arcs and straight section at the opposite side of the the linac to form an Electron Energy Recovery (ERL) system. Electron beam from the 6 MeV injector is injected into the 36 MeV superconducting linac, and accelerated by four successive passes: from 42 MeV up to 150 MeV using the same NS-FFAG structure made of permanent magnets. After the maximum energy of 150 MeV is reached, the electron beam is brought back to the linac with opposite Radio Frequency (RF) phase. Energy is recovered and reduced to the initial value of 6 MeV with 4 additional passes. There are many novelties: a single NS-FFAG structure, made of permanent magnets, brings electrons with four different energies back to the linac. A new adiabatic NS-FFAG arc-to-straight section merges 4 separated orbits into a single orbit in the straight section. |

WEPIK036 | ERL Cryomodule Testing and Beam Capabilities | 3010 |
|
||
The main linac cryomodule (MLC) prototype is a key component for the Cornell-BNL ERL Test Accelerator (CBETA) project, which is a 4-turn FFAG ERL under construction at Cornell University. This novel cryomodule is the first SRF module ever to be fully optimized simul-taneously for high efficient SRF cavity operation and for supporting very high CW beam currents. Initial MLC testing has demonstrated that cavity performance and HOMs damping meet specification values. Recent, addi-tional tests have focused on RF field stability, and cavity microphonics. In this paper, we summarize the perfor-mance of this novel ERL cryomodule and evaluate its beam capabilities based on the measured performance. | ||
