  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.

A coupon tester is an RF structure used to subject a material sample to very high RF fields, with the fields on the sample, or coupon, being higher than elsewhere in the cavity. To date, most such cavities were originally intended to explore the RF properties of superconducting materials, and can expose the sample to strong magnetic fields, but weak to no electric fields. As part of a program to develop materials and structures for high-gradient (> 100 MV/m), low-breakdown-rate normal-conducting accelerators, we have designed a C-band (5.712 GHz) cavity intended to subject samples to both magnetic and electric fields comparable to those experienced in high-gradient structure designs, using a TM-mode cavity; the electric and magnetic fields along the sample coupon can be directly compared to the fields on the iris of high-gradient structures. This poster will present the design criteria for our coupon tester cavity, nominal operating parameters, and our structure concept. The cavity design will be refined over the next several months, and will be constructed and in service near the start of 2022.

  The linear accelerator ARES (Accelerator Research Experiment at SINBAD) is a new research facility at DESY. Electron bunches with a maximum repetition rate of 50 Hz are accelerated to a target energy of 155 MeV. The facility aims for ultra-stable sub-femtosecond arrival-times and high peak-currents at the experiment, placing high demands on the reference distribution and field regulation of the RF structure. In this contribution, we present the physical parameter estimation of key RF properties such as cavity detuning not directly measurable on the RF field decay. The method can be used as a fast monitor of inner cell temperature. The estimated properties are finally compared with the measured ones.

  The Canadian Light Source (CLS), Canada’s only synchrotron light source, is considering a linear accelerator (LINAC) upgrade. As a result, the radio frequency (RF) structure in the downstream Energy Compression System (ECS) needs to be redesigned. In this paper, we describe the design process followed to determine the geometry of the RF structure cells and coupler.
