MOPAB394 | Preliminary BCP Flow Field Investigation by CFD Simulations and PIV in a Transparent Model of a SRF Elliptical Low Beta Cavity | 1204 |
|
||
Standard vertical Buffered Chemical Polishing (BCP) is one of the main surface treatment for Superconducting Radiofrequency (SRF) cavities. A finite element Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model has been developed. Uncertainties in the solution of fluid simulations are not negligible due to the complex geometry of a SRF cavity; thus without an experimental validation, results from this type of simulations cannot be confidently used to improve the process. To this aim, an experimental study was started to investigate the fluid dynamics of the BCP process by means of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique. Similitude on Reynolds number and Refractive Index Matching (RIM) technique were also implemented to replace the dangerous BCP mixture with a glycerine-water mixture. The paper describes the preliminary results from simulations and experiment. | ||

TUPAB033 | Photocathode Stress Test Bench at INFN LASA | 1413 |
|
||
In the framework of the preparatory activities to the BriXSino project, a test bench for testing Cs2Te photocathode at 100 MHz laser repetition rate has been installed at INFN LASA. This high repetition operation mode is foreseen to be the base operation mode of BriXSino and a qualification of the Cs2Te photocathodes is a key component. While we are not at full specification due to the limited HV of the present DC gun, we discuss the status of the test bench and the initial results. | ||

TUPAB034 | Development of Multi-Alkali Antimonides Photocathodes for High-Brightness RF Photoinjectors | 1416 |
|
||
Multi-alkali antimonide-based photocathodes are suitable candidate for the electron sources of next-generation high brightness RF photoinjectors due to their excellent photoemissive properties especially, like low thermal emittances and high sensitivity to visible light. The former stands out, paving the way towards CW operations. Based on the previous successful development of Cesium Telluride photocathodes, we are now channelling our efforts toward an R&D activity focused on KCsSb and NaKSb(Cs) photocathodes. Parallel to that R&D activity, we have installed a new dedicated photocathode production system at the INFN-LASA to start the preparation of these photocathodes for their test in the PITZ photoinjector at DESY in Zeuthen. In this paper, detailed experimental results obtained from the KCsSb, along with a preliminary result from the NaKSb(Cs) photocathode material as well as the status of the overall project are presented. | ||

TUPAB035 | ESS Medium Beta Cavities Status at INFN LASA | 1420 |
|
||
INFN Milano contributes in-kind to the ESS ERIC Superconducting Linac supplying 36 cavities for the Medium Beta section of the proton accelerator. The production has reached completion, being all the cavities mechanical fabricated, BCP treated and, for most of them, also qualified with vertical test at cold. In this paper, we report on the results and lessons learnt and the actions taken both for quality control managing and recovery of the few cavities that did not reach the project goal after the first qualification test. | ||

THPAB348 | INFN-LASA for the PIP-II LB650 Linac | 4474 |
|
||
INFN joined the international effort for the PIP-II project at Fermilab and it’s going to contribute to the low-beta section of the PIP-II proton linac. In particular, INFN-LASA is finalizing its commitment to deliver in kind the full set of the LB650 cavities, namely 36 plus spares 5-cell cavities at 650 MHz and geometrical beta 0.61. All cavities, designed by INFN-LASA, will be produced and surface treated in industry, qualified through vertical cold test, and delivered as ready for string installation. This paper reports the status of INFN’s contribution to PIP-II and of ongoing activities toward the experimental qualifications of infrastructures and prototypes. | ||

THPAB351 | INFN-LASA Experimental Activities on PIP-II Low-Beta Cavity Prototypes | 4481 |
|
||
This paper reports on the first results obtained by INFN-LASA on PIP-II low-beta cavity prototypes. The goal of this activity was to validate the reference surface treatment based on Electropolishing as a bulk removal step. The cavity treatment procedures are here presented together with the strategy used for their optimization. The experimental results of cavity cold tests for a single cell prototype are presented and discussed. Having this cavity achieved the requested performance, the baseline procedure is considered as validated and a plan for a future high-Q cavity surface treatment is proposed. | ||

Direct response time measurements on semiconductor photocathodes | |
|
||
Semiconductor photocathodes like Cs2Te enable stable electron sources with high photon to electron conversion rate (quantum efficiency, QE) for high brightness photoinjectors. Besides QE, work function and vacuum stability, bunch lengthening is a key figure of merit for these sources, resulting from UV photon penetration into the semiconductor and scattering of excited electrons before emission. These processes and their statistical variation lead to a delay, as well as to lengthening of the extracted electron bunch w.r.t. the incident laser pulse, often referred to as "response time". Thus far, no direct measurement of the response time of Cs2Te, one of the most widely used cathode materials, has been reported. As such a measurement is crucial for photocathode laser based bunch shaping, short bunch applications, emission modeling and for evaluating new cathode materials like CsKSb, a measurement procedure has been established at the photoinjector test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) to measure longitudinal bunch shape variation due to cathode emission effects. Here, we introduce the method and show first results on direct cathode response measurements of Cs2Te cathodes. | ||
