  • A. Yamamoto
    KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
 
  Superconducting magnets and RF cavities are widely used in accelerators, and future accelerator projects heavily rely on this technology. There may be several questions on the future of the SC technology, concerning the feasibility of very high field dipoles (~15 T or more), possible technology evolution(s) with new materials, operation at higher temperature, and final sustainability of the technology in terms of helium procurement. The talk will cover a brief history/achievements and some interesting (future) developments, partly or fully answering these question.

  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.

The Berlin Energy Recovery Linac project has taken shape during the past year. The magnets have been set up in the newly constructed subterraneous hall; first electrons are expected in the SRF-gun test laboratory in June 2017. Starting in February 2018 the complete gun module will be transferred to the accelerator hall for the commissioning of BERLinPro. For the first months, operation is planned without further accelerating structures (booster and linac), due to delays in their fabrication. Several modes of operation are applicable at this early stage [1]. The available hardware is displayed and the adapted optics at 2.7 MeV and at 6.5 MeV (including the booster) are presented. The trajectory distortions under the influence of the earth magnetic field are studied. The concept for trajectory correction is outlined.

To improve the quality of photocathodes is one of the critical issues in enhancing the stability and reliability of photo-injector systems. Presently the primary choice is to use metallic photocathodes for the ELBE SRF Gun-II to reduce the risk of contamination of the superconducting cavity. Magnesium has a low work function (3.6 eV) and shows high quantum efficiency (QE) up to 0.3 % after laser cleaning. The SRF Gun II with an Mg photocathode has successfully provided electron beam for ELBE users. However, the present cleaning process with a high intensi-ty laser (activation) is time consuming and generates unwanted surface roughness. This paper presents the investigation of alternative surface cleaning procedures, such as thermal treatment. The QE and topography of Mg samples after treatment are reported.

  Future light sources such as synchrotron radiation sources driven by an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL), Free Electron Laser (FEL) or THz radiation sources have in common that they require injectors, which provide high-brilliance, high-current electron beams in almost continuous operation. Thus, the development of appropriate highly brilliant electron sources is a central factor. A promising approach for this key component is provided by superconducting radiofrequency photoinjectors (SRF guns) [*]. Since 2007, the free-electron laser FELBE at HZDR successfully operates such a SRF gun under real conditions and equipped with all components [**]. Nevertheless, there are limitations caused by multipacting which should be overcome in order to further improve the gun [***]. One aspect in order to reach this aim lies in studying various modifications of the cathode tip [****]. This contribution will present the effectiveness of isosceles triangular grooves with respect to MP.

There exists an increasing demand for compact Inverse Compton Light Sources (ICLS) capable of producing substantial fluxes of narrow-band X-rays. While multiple design proposals have been made, compared to typical bremsstrahlung sources, most of these have comparable fluxes and improve on the brilliance within a 0.1% bandwidth by only a few orders of magnitude. By applying cw superconducting rf beam acceleration and rf focusing to produce a beam of small emittance and magnetic focusing to produce a small spot size on the order of a few microns at collision, the source presented here provides a 12 keV X-ray beam which outperforms other compact designs and bremsstrahlung sources. Compared to a bremsstrahlung source, the flux is improved by at least an order of magnitude and the average brilliance by six orders of magnitude. Surpassing other compact ICLS designs, the source presented here is attractive to a wide variety of potential users.

  The IFMIF accelerator aims to provide an accelerator-based D-Li neutron source to produce high intensity high energy neutron flux to test samples as possible candidate materials to a full lifetime of fusion energy reactors. A prototype of the low energy part of the accelerator is under construction at Rokkasho in Japan. It includes one cryomodule containing 8 half-wave resonators (HWR) operating at 175 MHz .The first manufactured HWR has passed low power tests at 4.2K in vertical cryostat succesfully and exceeds the specifications. It has also been tested in the dedicated horizontal Sathori cryostat equiped with its cold tuning system. The serial production and qualification tests of the 8 cavities which will eventually equip the cryomodule are carried out in parallel. In this paper, we focus on the HWR preparation and test results and give a status of the manufacturing activities.

  The 50-MeV, 100-mA energy-recovery-linac (ERL) demonstration facility BERLinPro is currently undergoing construction at HZB. The high power injection system, that will deliver a beam at 6.5MeV, is split into a 1.4 cell SRF Photo injector and three Cornell-style 2-cell boosters. The injector and two of the booster cavities will provide about 2MeV each and must handle up to 220 kW of beam loading. New, cERL-based 115-kW high power couplers needed for the cavities' twin coupler system have begun manufacture. The design, optimization and manufacturing considerations of these couplers are presented.

  Several studies showed that thermocurrents generate a magnetic field in a horizontal cavity test assembly or cryomodul, which may get trapped during the supercon-ducting phase transition. The trapped flux causes additional dissipation in the order of 1 to 10 n' during operation and can therefore significantly degrade the quality factor in a TESLA cavity. We simulated the distribution of the generated magnetic field over the whole cavity-tank system for an asymmetric temperature distribution. The asymmetry allows the field to penetrate the RF surface which would be field free in the symmetric case. The calculated results complemented a direct measurement of trapped magnetic flux inside the cavity with a small number of field probes. Finally, the obtained data was combined with RF measurements in three passband modes to determine the overall distribution of trapped magnetic flux due to thermocurrents.

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.

  Flux trapping is the major contribution to the residual resistance of superconducting cavities. In order to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms involved and aiming at an eventual minimization of trapped flux, a measurement setup based on AMR sensors was devised that allows for monitoring the magnetic field vector at various positions near the cavity surface. First results of the efforts are presented.

  The BESSY VSR upgrade of the BESSY II light source represents a novel approach to simultaneously store of long (ca. 15ps) and short (ca. 1.5ps) bunches in the storage ring with the 'standard' user optics. This challenging goal requires installation of four new SRF cavities (2x1.5GHz and 2x1.75GHz) in a single module to minimize space requirements. These cavities are equipped with strong waveguide and beam tube HOM dampers necessary for stable operation. The expected HOM power and spectrum has been analyzed for the complete module. This study is performed for various BESSY VSR bunch filling patterns with 300 mA beam current. In the module different cavity arrangements are analyzed to reach the optimal operation conditions with equally distributed power portions in warm HOM loads and tolerable beam coupling impedance.

  Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin is developing BESSY VSR, a novel upgrade of the BESSY II facility to provide highly flexible pulse lengths while maintaining the flux and brilliance. The project goal is to simultaneously circulate both standard (some 10 ps long) and short (ps and sub-ps long) pulses offering the BESSY user community picosecond dynamics and high-resolution experiments. The concept relies on the installation of high-voltage SRF cavities operating at the 3rd and 3.5th harmonic whereby the beating of the two frequencies provides RF buckets for long and short bunches. Since these cavities will operate in CW and with high beam current (Ib=300 mA), the cavity design represents a challenging goal. In addition the need to avoid coupled bunch instabilities (CBI's), the installation of the VSR Cryomodule must fit in one of the available 4-m long low beta straights. To address the technological and engineering challenges techniques such as waveguide-damped cavities have been developed. First prototypes have been produced. In this paper, the present SRF developments are presented, including the cavities, high power couplers, higher-order mode absorbers and the cryomodule design.

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.

Niobium is the standard material for superconducting RF (SRF) cavities. Superconducting materials with higher critical temperature or higher critical magnetic field allow cavities to work at higher operating temperatures or higher accelerating fields, respectively. Enhancing the surface properties of the superconducting material in the range of the penetration depth is also beneficial. One direction of search for new materials with better properties is the modification of bulk niobium by nitrogen doping. In the Nb-N phase diagram the cubic delta-phase of NbN has the highest critical temperature (16 K). Already slight nitrogen doping of the alpha-Nb phase results in higher quality factors.* Nb samples will be N-doped at the refurbished UHV furnace at IKP Darmstadt.

  A large grain 3.9 GHz prototype cavity made of RRR = 105 ±10 has been tested at LASA. The cavity suffered of quench at moderate levels of accelerating field, for all nine fundamental pass-band modes. Several diagnostic techniques have been employed to determine the quench positions, which occur close to significant grain-boundary steps, visible from the external cavity surface. The cavity has been scanned with a high resolution X-ray tomographic machine, confirming the existence of remarkable topographic features on the inner RF surface at the suspected quench positions. A strategy for a future surface treatment for recover the cavity performances is here presented.

  We present Multipacting studies in ESS Medium-Beta cavities of INFN-LASA design with both simulation and experimental results. The simulation on the ideal cavity shape with both FishPact and MultiPac2.1 codes shows that multipacting appears in a very small region near equator where the weld seam exists. A simulation with more realistic cavity shape considering the weld seam at cell equators has also been done out showing similar results for end cell but a remarkable mitigation for inner cell. During the vertical tests at LASA, Multipacting is frequently observed but with no limitation to the cavity performance, which well confirms the MP predicted by the simulations.

A superconducting 166.6 MHz quarter-wave β=1 cavity was recently proposed for the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), a 6 GeV kilometer-scale light source. Four 166.6 MHz cavities will be used for main acceleration in the newly planned on-axis beam injection scheme realized by a double-frequency RF system. The fundamental frequency, 166.6 MHz, was dictated by the fast injection kicker technology and the preference of using 499.8 MHz SC RF cavity as the third harmonic. Each 166.6 MHz cavity will be operated at 4.2 K providing 1.2 MV accelerating voltage and 150 kW of power to the electron beam. The input coupler will use single-window coaxial type graded up to 200 kW CW power. Each cavity will be equipped with a 200 kW solid-state amplifier and digital low-level RF system. This paper will describe the 166.6 MHz RF system with a focus on the design and optimization of the RF cavity and its ancillaries, the LLRF system and the status of the solid-state amplifiers.

  The China-Accelerator Driven Sub-critical System (C-ADS) injector II has already commissioned with a CW 1 mA and a pulsed 10 mA proton beam. The beam energy achieved 10 MeV. The superconducting linac (SCL) is routinely operating at 4.7 MV/m average accelerating gradient in the low-beta cryomodules. Field emission and surface contaminants of the SCL limit the gradient in-crease in the beam commissioning. Hence, in order to increase the SCL accelerating gradient, reduce field emis-sion and remove surface pollutants, in-situ plasma pro-cessing R&D in a 1.3 GHz single-cell SRF cavity has being studied. In this paper, the current effort of plasma processing R&D in a 1.3 GHz single-cell SRF cavity will be presented in details and the future plan will be also reported.

  The European Spallation Source (ESS) project is a neutron-scattering facility, currently under construction by a partnership of at least 17 European countries, with Sweden and Denmark as host nations. The ESS was designated a European Research Infrastructure Consortium, or ERIC, by the European Commission in October of 2015. Scientists and engineers from 50 different countries are members of the workforce in Lund who participate in the design and construction of the European Spallation Source. In complement to the local workforce, the superconducting RF linear accelerator is being prototyped and will be constructed based on a collaboration with European institutions: CEA-Saclay, CNRS-IPN Orsay, INFN-LASA, STFC-Daresbury, Uppsala and Lund Universities. After a description of the ESS collaborative project and its in-kind model for the SRF linac, this article will introduce the linac component first results.

  As part of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project strategy, crab cavity correctors shall be installed around CMS and ATLAS experiments of the LHC. To accommodate the different crossing angle planes, two distinct cavity designs have been selected: the RF Dipole (RFD) and the Double Quarter Wave resonator (DQW). CERN has fabricated two double quarter wave resonators (DQWSPS), for validation with a proton beam at the CERN SPS accelerator. Standard superconducting rf surface preparation protocols have been applied to the two bulk niobium cavities, followed by cryogenic testing in a vertical cryostat at CERN's SM18 facility. The performance results obtained after the first bare cavity tests for cavities DQWSPS001 and DQWSPS002 are shown in this paper, and include Q0 vs Vt curves, Lorentz Force Detuning (LFD) analyses and pressure sensitivity of a higher order mode.

  Liquid helium for transferring cooling power from the cryogenic plant to the magnets and SRF cavities had been widely applied on the advanced large superconducting particle accelerators. For requirements of high stable and reliable operation, many efforts have been put into the improvement and modification of the cryogenic system. However, personnel safety is another critical issue of the cryogenic system. Once large liquid helium was released on the atmospheric tunnel, the volume of helium will expand several hundred times and cause oxygen deficiency in short time due to sudden change of helium density. In this study, we applied numerical simulation to analyze helium discharge through a SRF cavity in the TPS tunnel.

  Two modern 3rd generation light sources, the well-developed 1.5-GeV Taiwan Light Source (TLS) and the new constructed 3-GeV Taiwan Photon Source (TPS), are now in routine operation. Both storage rings are powered by the superconducting RF (cavity) modules, one CESR-type SRF module for the TLS since 2005 and two KEKB-type SRF modules for the TPS since 2014. Thanks to continuous efforts, the operational reliability of SRF modules at NSRRC is now compatible or better in comparison with the best operation record of room temperature cavities ever achieved at TLS (1992-2004). How to improve the long term availability but hold the achieved reliability of SRF modules such as to maximize the available annual user beam time, especially, under requirements on high RF power operation, become a new operational challenge, especially for the SRF modules at TPS which is now routinely operated with a forward RF power around 150-kW individually and expected to push to 300-kW in the coming future. Here we report our strategy and achievement to minimize long term interrupt of SRF operation owing to regular full-thermal cycling and annual maintenance of cryogenic plant.

MOPVA099 The Study of Electromagnet Compensated High Power Ferrite Circulator Operation With Superconducting RF Cavity cavity, klystron, operation, vacuum 1091

  In a high power RF system for accelerator application, the circulator is very important for protecting klystron or IOT from damage due to high reflection power from the cavity. When there is no beam current passing through the superconducting RF cavity of the accelerator, almost 100% RF power will be reflected from the cavity even the cavity is on resonance. The circulator shall be able to forward the reflected power to the load and remain good matching and isolation condition between ports at klystron and the cavity. However, for a ferrite material based circulator, the magnetic field within circulator would be temperature dependent which would cause the variation of input return loss and isolation between ports. Additional DC current driving electromagnet field is thus re-quired for compensating the temperature variation. Even with the compensating DC current, the circulator is still not ideal for practical operation especially when the performance of the circulator is strongly phase dependent. The phenomenon observed in actual operation with one set of SRF systems in NSRRC is thus reported in this article.

  The High Luminosity Upgrade for the LHC (HL-LHC) relies on crab cavities to compensate for the luminosity reduction due to the crossing angle of the colliding bunches at the interaction points. In this paper we present the simulation studies of cavity quenches and the impact on the beam. The cavity voltage and phase during the quench is determined from a simulation in Matlab and used to determine the impact on the beam from tracking simulations in SixTrack. The results of this study are important for determining the required machine protection and interlock systems for HL-LHC.

  The production of superconducting coatings for radio frequency cavities is a rapidly developing field that should ultimately lead to acceleration gradients greater than those obtained by bulk Nb RF cavities. The use of thin films made from superconductors with thermodynamic critical field, HC>HCNb, allows the possibility of multilayer superconductor ' insulator ' superconductor (SIS) films and accelerators that could operate at temperatures above the 2 K typically used. SIS films theoretically allow increased acceleration gradient due to magnetic shielding of underlying superconducting layers [1] and higher operating temperature can reduce cost [2]. High impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) and pulsed DC magnetron sputtering processes were used to deposit NbTiN thin films onto Si(100) substrate. The films were characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Rutherford back-scattering spectroscopy (RBS) and a four-point probe.

Although SRF accelerators are an invaluable research tool they can be painfully expensive to construct and operate at the current level of SRF technology. This cost is significantly due to the necessity to operate at a temperature of only 2K. Considerable research is currently underway into next generation SRF cavity technologies such as Ndoping and Nb3Sn coating. Both of these technologies will lower the cryogenic load of accelerators, correspondingly lowering both construction and operating costs. However, current understanding of either technology is incomplete and in order to elucidate the underlying mechanisms there is a need to push current characterization methods forward. In this work, ion beam techniques (e.g. focused ion beam (FIB)), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) were applied to help understand Nb3Sn coating mechanisms. This presentation will focus on characterization, providing examples of EBSD work, along with discussion of some of the issues encountered while trying to produce high quality EBSD data.

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.

  As a high-kappa superconductor with a coherence length of 7 nm, the superconductor Nb3Sn is highly susceptible to material features at the sub-micron scale. For niobium surfaces coated with a thin layer of Nb3Sn using the vapour diffusion method, the polycrystalline nature of the film grown lends to the possibility that performance-degrading non-uniformities may develop. In particular, regions of insufficiently thick coating and tin-depletion have been seen to occur in sample coupons. In the interests of understanding how to control the presence and nature of such features, it is necessary to know how they form. In this paper we stop the coating at defined instances to gain a stop-motion image of the growth of the layer, and use SEM and TEM techniques to image the development of the features seen in previously coated samples. We demonstrate that surface pre-anodisation can suppress the formation of thin film regions, and apply this technique to a single-cell cavity. Contemporarily, we use TEM with EDS mapping to monitor grain boundaries and tin-depleted regions within the layer.

The Cornell BNL ERL Test Accelerator (CBETA) incorporates two SRF linacs; one for its injector and another for the energy recovery loop. Microphonics in both the cryomodules play a crucial role in determining the energy stability of the electron beam in high current operation. We have measured vibrations and frequency detuning of the SRF cavities and determined that the cryogenic system is the major source of microphonics in both cryomodules. In this paper we discuss these measurements and demonstrate an Active Microphonics Compensation system implemented using fast piezo-electric tuners which we incorporated in our Low Level RF control system to be used in routine operation.

The Cornell sample host cavity is a 3.9~GHz testing system for RF analysis of novel superconducting surfaces. The cavity applies fields up to 100~mT on a removable and replaceable 5-inch sample plate in order to measure the surface resistance of the material under investigation. The cavity also includes a temperature-mapping system for localization of quench events and surface defects. In this paper, we present recent experimental results from the host cavity of niobium deposited onto molybdenum and copper substrates using chemical vapor deposition, in collaboration with industry partner Ultramet. The results indicate low BCS resistance and good adhesion but also areas of high residual resistance due to chemical and morphological defects.

MOPVA124 Effectiveness of Chemical Treatments for Reducing the Surface Roughness of Nb3Sn niobium, linac, klystron, cavity 1145

Current Niobium-3 Tin (Nb3Sn) superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) accelerator cavities have rougher surfaces than conventional electropolished Niobium accelerator cavities. The surface roughness can cause enhancement of the surface magnetic field, pushing it beyond the critical field. If this occurs over a large enough area it can cause the cavity to quench. The surface roughness may cause other effects that negatively impact cavity quality factor (Q) performance. Reducing surface roughness of Nb3Sn cavities may be necessary to achieve higher gradient with high Q. Current chemical treatments for reducing the surface roughness of Niobium are challenging for Nb3Sn: the Nb3Sn layer is only ~2 um thick while it is difficult to remove less than 1 mu uniformly with most chemical treatments.

Current state-of-the-art Niobium superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) accelerator cavities have reached surface magnetic field close to the theoretical maximum set by the superheating field. Further increasing accelerating gradients will require new superconducting materials for accelerator cavities that can support higher surface magnetic fields. This necessitates measuring the quench fields of new materials in high power RF fields. In this paper, we present designs and simulations of a sample host cavity. The cavity design is optimized to maximize the surface magnetic field achieved on the sample.

  The LCLS-II project requires 35 1.3 GHz cryomodules to be installed in the accelerator in order to deliver a 4 GeV electron beam to the undulators hall. These 35 cryomodules will consist of 8 1.3 GHz TESLA style SRF cavities, a design most recently used for the XFEL project in Hamburg, Germany. The cavity design has remained largely unchanged, but the cavity treatment has been modified to utilize the nitrogen doping process to allow for Quality factors in excess of 3x1010 at 16 MV/m, the designed operating gradient of the cavities in the CM. Two industrialized vendors are producing most of the SRF cavities for these cryomodules; and the performance of the first article cavities, 16 from each vendor, will be reported on in this paper.

The Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II) requires 280 9-cell superconducting RF cavities for operation in continuous wave mode. Two vendors have previously been selected to produce the cavities, Research Instruments GmbH and Ettore Zanon S.p.a. Here we present results from manufacturing and cavity preparation for the cavities constructed at these two vendors for LCLS-II. We show how the cavity preparation method has been changed mid-production in order to improve flux expulsion in the cavities and maintain high performance in realistic magnetic field environments (~5 mG). Additionally, we show that the nitrogen-doping process has been carried out successfully and repeatedly on over 70 cavities.

  Two ongoing accelerator projects at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB), BERLinPro and BESSY-VSR, need to design three different SRF cavities, a 1.3GHz cavity in BERLinPro and 1.5GHz/1.75GHz cavities in BESSY-VSR. These cavities have adopted waveguide HOM dampers in their design, with a few tens of watts HOM power in each load for BERLinPro and a few hundred watts for BESSY-VSR. JLab is collaborating with HZB prototyping these HOM loads. In this paper, we will report on the integrated RF-thermal-mechanical design of the loads, as well as the fabrication and testing results.

The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility at JLab has 200 RF cavities in the north linac and the south linac respectively after the 12 GeV upgrade. The purpose of this work is to simultaneously optimize the heat load and the trip rate for the cavities and to reconstruct the pareto-optimal front in a timely manner when some of the cavities are turned down. By choosing an efficient optimizer and strategically creating the initial gradients, the pareto-optimal front for no more than 15 cavities down can be re-established within 20 seconds.

Superconducting 1.2 MV 112 MHz quarter-wave photo-electron gun (SRF gun) is used as a source of electron beam for the Coherent electron Cooling experiment (CeC) at BNL. During the CeC commissioning we encountered a number of multipacting zones in the gun. It was also observed that introduction of CsK2Sb photocathode creates additional multipacting zone. This paper presents numerical and experimental study of the multipactor discharge in the SRF gun. We also discuss ways of crossing the multipacting levels to the operational voltage. Finally, we compare the results of our numerical simulations of the multipactor discharge using ACE3P with experimental data.

Practical SRF cavities may be subjected to one or more processes after nominally complete preparation. Successful implementation of such processes in Nb3Sn coated cavities requires the understanding of material's response to these treatments. SRF-grade Nb samples, coated with Nb3Sn by the widely used tin vapor diffusion process were subjected to one or more of the following: hydrofluoric acid (HF) rinsing, oxypolishing, buffered chemical polishing (BCP) or electrochemical treatment. They were examined by materials characterization tech-niques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spec-troscopy (XPS). The effects compared to niobium are different enough in most cases that further development is desirable to routinely obtain a favorable result.

For the BERLinPro energy recovery LINAC, HZB is developing a superconducting 1.4-cell electron gun, which, in its final version, is planned to be capable of CW 1.3 GHz operation with 77 pC/bunch. For this purpose a series of three superconducting cavities, denoted as Gun 1.0, Gun 1.1 (both designed for 6 mA) and Gun 2.0 (100 mA) are foreseen. Gun 1.0 now reached operational status and the Gun 1.1 cavity is completely manufactured. In the paper the chronology of manufacturing, tuning and processing of the Gun 1.1-cavity is described, also giving details about combined mechanical/electrodynamic simulations, which were performed in order to gain deeper understanding of the cavity's unexpected tuning behavior.

TUPAB107 Study of 60 Hz Beam Orbit Fluctuations in the Taiwan Photon Source vacuum, shielding, photon, insertion-device 1566

  The Taiwan Photon Source is a 3 GeV synchrotron light source at NSRRC. To achieve high quality experimental results, it is important to minimize beam motion. During the installation of insertion devices and front-ends, the beam motion around 60 Hz became significant. The response matrix together with singular value decomposition was used to identify the transmitter of the superconducting radio frequency system as the source for the 60 Hz perturbations. This was subsequently corrected by rerouting the grounding of the mains in the transmitters. Yet, the 60Hz orbit fluctuation became even more serious after the next shutdown. A serious of experiments are performed to dig out that the beam was disturbed by the magnetic field from newly installed fan motors. Shielding the fans with mu-metal and increasing the distance between fan and beam pipe drastically reduced the leakage field and greatly increased beam stability. These errors could be prevented at the design stage in the ideal case. However, these errors happened finally and need to be dug out and eliminated. The method and experiences are summarized in this report. These will benefit others who facing the similar problems.

  The Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Prototype (BERLinPro) at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) aims to deliver a continuous-wave (cw) electron beam of high average current (100 mA) and brilliance (normalized emittance below 1 mm mrad). The achievement of these demanding goals depends significantly on the performance of the electron source, a superconducting RF (SRF) photoinjector. A critical component for the quality of the generated beam is the superconducting solenoid magnet. In order to optimize its operation and minimize parasitic contributions, special attention has been given to the precise alignment of this element using a hexapod mover. Due to the strict limitations inside a cryostat, a complex coupling between the solenoid in vacuum and the hexapod in air has been realized, requiring sophisticated software and hardware mechanisms to prevent collisions. Along with this setup, the developed beam-based alignment procedure and its performance are demonstrated in this article.

  A Cornell-type superconducting RF cavity module was installed in the Taiwan Light Source (TLS) in 2004. New control electronics for the existing SRF modules have been designed, based on the original designs. In addition to the functions for operation, this SRF electronics system in the TLS also provides protection for the SRF modules and cryogenic system. This paper presents the SRF electronics modifications, which will enhance machine protection and make it easy to adjust and optimize operational parameters.

  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.

  Non Evaporable Getter pumps have been used since four decades in various scientific and industrial Ultra High and Extremely Ultra High Vacuum applications. For the majority of applications properties like high pumping speed vs. small size, powerless operation and hydrocarbon cleanliness are main aspects for the usage. In addition to this a growing number of applications nowadays also require particle free systems. In this paper we report on investigations on in-vacuum particle creation during the conditioning and activation process of CapaciTorr pumps.

Work from Cornell in 2016 built on recent theoretical research in the field of SRF to link the electron mean free path to the field-dependent BCS surface resistance. This research relates the magnitude of the ‘‘anti-Q-slope'', the puzzling reduction of surface resistance with increasing RF field intensity observed in certain cavities, to the doping level of nitrogen-doped niobium, quantified by the mean free path: shorter mean free paths correspond directly with stronger anti-Q-slopes. The theoretical connection comes through the overheating of the quasiparticles, which more effectively transfer their energy to the lattice at short mean free paths. In this report, we present an update of this analysis, investigating recent test results of low-temperature-doped single-cell and nine-cell cavities. We also study the theoretical implications for cavities at frequencies higher and lower than the often-studied 1.3~GHz.

  The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a pan-European project and one of world's largest research infrastructures based on neutron sources. This collaborative project is funded by a collaboration of 17 European countries and is under construction in Lund, Sweden. The 5 MW, 2.86 ms long pulse proton accelerator has a repetition frequency of 14 Hz (4 % duty cycle), and a beam current of 62.5 mA. The Superconducting Radio-Frequency (SRF) linac is composed of three families of Superconducting Radio-Frequency (SRF) cavities, which are being prototyped, counting the spoke resonators with a geometric beta of 0.5, medium-beta elliptical cavities (betag=0.67) and high-beta elliptical cavities (betag=0.86). After a description of the ESS linear accelerator layout, this article will focus on the recent progress towards integration of the first test results of the main critical components to be assembled in cryomodules, then in the ESS tunnel.

  Superconducting RF photoinjectors, running in continuous-wave (cw) mode, are able to generate electron beams of high average brightness and ultra-short bunches. Therefore, they satisfy the requirements of future accelerator facilities, such as energy recovery linacs (ERL). Further, SRF guns are able to provide relativistic probe beams for ultrafast electron diffraction (UED). Choosing suitable values for the drive laser, cavity and solenoid settings poses a great challenge for the injector commissioning and operation. Using multi-objective optimization based on an evolutionary algorithm, optimum gun parameter settings are extracted from Pareto-optimum solutions. The development of a universal multi-objective optimization algorithm for SRF photoinjectors as well as first Pareto optimum results for an ERL and UED application of GunLab, the compact SRF gun test facility at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, will be presented.

  An SRF gun at the ELBE center has been operated with a magnesium cathode. Electron beams were produced with a maximum bunch charge of 200 pC and an emit-tance of 7.7 μm. Simulations have been conducted with ASTRA and Elegant for applying the SRF gun to ELBE user experiments, including neutron beam generation, positron beam generation, THz radiation and Compton backscattering experiment. Beam transport has been optimized to solve the best beam performance for these user stations at the bunch charge of 200 pC. Simulation results indicate that the SRF gun is potential to benefit the high bunch charge applications at ELBE.

  At the European XFEL, extensive technical documentation has been created during design and construction of the accelerator. It is based on a configuration database (the DESY EDMS), which provides an inventory of major accelerator systems. The configuration database registers components and their used materials, tracks component design and fabrication history, and contains engineering documents and drawings, and work and inspection records. Technical documentation can be accessed through intuitive reports and navigational tree structures, representing specific beamline sections or areas of the facility. Access on mobile devices in the accelerator tunnel is supported by component tags with QR codes. A dedicated front-end has been developed for automatically uploading and cross-linking documents to the configuration database, reducing documentation efforts in the project teams. The configuration database now serves as a foundation for upcoming technical operation and maintenance activities. The paper provides an overview of the available engineering documentation and its access methods, and discusses its expected role and benefits in future maintenance processes.

The Mainz Energy-recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA) is currently designed and built at the Institut für Kernphysik (KPH) at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz. The main accelerator incorporates four superconducting cavities of the TESLA type, while the preaccelerator MAMBO (Milliampere Booster) is a room temperature linac. The MESA high power RF-systems have to cover a vast power range starting at some 10kW per cavity for the main linac modules and more 50kW per cavity for MAMBO.

An injection-locked amplitude modulated magnetron is being developed as a reliable, efficient RF source that could replace klystrons used in particle accelerators. A trim magnetic coil is used to alter the magnetic field in conjunction with the anode voltage to maintain an SRF cavity voltage while the cavity is experiencing microphonics and changing beam loading. The microphonic noise modes have frequencies in the range 10-100 Hz. The changing magnetic field will induce transient eddy currents in the copper anode of the magnetron which will buck the field in the interaction region. This paper will describe the calculation and handling of the eddy currents in the magnetron.

  Various methods of phase and power control in magnetron RF sources of superconducting accelerators intended for ADS-class projects were recently developed and studied with conventional 2.45 GHz, 1 kW, CW magnetrons operating in pulsed and CW regimes. Magnetron trans-mitters excited by a resonant (injection-locking) phase-modulated signal can provide phase and power control with the rates required for precise stabilization of phase and amplitude of the accelerating field in Superconducting RF (SRF) cavities of the intensity-frontier accelerators. An innovative technique that can significantly increase the magnetron transmitter efficiency at the wide-range power control required for superconducting accelerators was developed and verified with the 2.45 GHz magnetrons operating in CW and pulsed regimes. High efficiency magnetron transmitters of this type can significantly reduce the capital and operation costs of the ADS-class accelerator projects.

  The delivery of clinical beams for patient treatment at the MedAustron Ion Therapy Center requires extensive accelerator performance verifications, which are performed in several steps. In first instance, the key parameters of the beam delivered to the irradiation rooms (beam position, spot size, energy and intensity) are verified via measurements performed with beam diagnostic devices distributed along the accelerator. The second verification step consists in testing the full functionality of the therapy accelerator, including the medical frontend: scanning magnets performance, intensity monitoring and safety features. The final verification step is the quality assurance (QA) done by the medical department. An extended set of reference measurements assures the fast identification of the faulty components in case of a performance deviation, and the totality of the accumulated data allows in-depth analysis of the accelerator performance. We present here the trends and correlations observed during the first verification step for the most important parameters, as well as the lessons learned through all the implementation stages of the beam quality assurance.
