  In this work, we apply multi-objective optimization methods to single-cell cavity models generated using non-uniform rational basis splines (NURBS). This modeling method uses control points and a NURBS to generate the cavity geometry, which allows for greater flexibility in the shape, leading to improved performance. Using this approach and multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGAs) we find the Pareto frontiers for the typical key quantities of interest (QoI) including peak fields, shunt impedance and the modified Poynting vector. Visualizing these results becomes increasingly more difficult as the number of objectives increases, therefore, in order to understand these frontiers, we provide several techniques for analyzing, visualizing and using multi-dimensional Pareto fronts specifically for RF cavity design.

  In this paper, we present a novel method for designing RF structures with specifically tailored multipolar field contributions. This has a range of applications, including the suppression of unwanted multipolar fields or the introduction of wanted terms, such as for quadrupole focusing. In this article, we outline the general design methodology and compare the expected results to 3D CST simulations.

  The interaction of a transversely displaced beam with the higher modes (HOM) of the accelerating cavities causes building up HOM voltages in the cavity, which in turn kicks the beam and increases the offset further. This is known as regenerative beam breakup (BBU) instability and it sets the beam threshold current for the stable beam operation. A study by Setiniyaz et al.~[Setiniyaz2020] showed the filling pattern and recombination schemes of multi-turn energy recovery linacs (ERLs) can create many different beam loading transients, which can have a big impact on the cavity fundamental mode voltage and RF stabilizes. In this work, we extend the study of the filling pattern and recombination schemes to the BBU instabilities and threshold current. In the ERLs, the accelerated and decelerated bunches can be ordered differently while they pass through the cavity and form different filling patterns. Each pattern has a unique bunch energy sequence and bunch arrival times and hence interacts with cavity uniquely and thus drives BBU differently. In this paper, we introduce a simulation tool to investigate the filling pattern dependence of the ERL BBU instability.
