  The Drift Tube Linac (DTL) of the European Spallation Source (ESS) is designed to operate at 352.2 MHz with a duty cycle of 4 % (3 ms pulse length, 14 Hz repetition period) and will accelerate a proton beam of 62.5 mA pulse peak current from 3.62 to 90 MeV. This paper presents the approach taken in order to preserve field flatness of DTL Tanks. This strategy required a set of simulations and consequent choices about RF design of DTL cells, RF coupler tuning and compensation, cooling of the DTL cells. Outcomes of these simulations and the experimental verifications of this approach are then explained.

  An efficient method for designing multi-cell accelerator cavities has been developed. It is similar to the approach used by Superfish codes for drift-tube linacs (DTL), where a few single cells at representative beam velocities are tuned in 2D and their geometrical parameters are interpolated to cover the required beam-velocity range. The method is implemented using 3D electromagnetic (EM) modeling with CST MicroWave Studio, which allows its application for various types of resonators, e.g., for H-mode cavities. Interpolating results of 3D EM design of tuned representative single-cell cavities leads to a 3D multi-cell cavity model that can be finalized with just a few small adjustments. As a challenging application example, we design multi-cell resonators of three types - cross-bar (CH) and inter-digital (IH) H-mode, as well as DTL - for accelerating muons in the velocity range of v/c = 0.08-0.3, and compare their performance.
