Funding: Work supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF, contract no. 05P21RFRB2) The superconducting (SC) continuous wave (CW) heavy ion linac HELIAC (HElm\-holtz LInear ACcelerator) is a common project of GSI and HIM under key support of IAP Frankfurt. It is intended for future experiments with heavy ions near the Coulomb barrier within super-heavy element (SHE) research and aims at developing a linac with multiple CH cavities as key components downstream the High Charge State Injector (HLI) at GSI. The design is challenging due to the requirement of intense beams in CW mode up to a mass-to-charge ratio of 6, while covering a broad output energy range from 3.5 to 7.3 MeV/u with minimum energy spread. In 2017 the first superconducting cavity of the linac has been successfully commissioned and extensively tested with beam at GSI. In the light of experience gained in this research so far, the beam dynamics layout for the entire linac has been updated and optimized in the meantime. This contribution will provide a brief overview of the recent progress on the project, as well as a potential modification to the linac layout. |

| TUPOMS041 | High Power RF-Cavity Development for the HBS-Driver LINAC | 1516 |
|
||
| Neutron research in Europe is mainly based on various nuclear reactors that will be successively decommissioned over the next years. This means that despite the commissioning of the European Spallation Source ESS, many neutron research centres, especially in the medium flux regime, will disappear. In response to this situation, the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) has begun the development of a scalable, compact, accelerator-based High Brilliance neutron Source (HBS). A total of three different neutron target stations are planned, which can be operated with a 100 mA proton beam of up to 70 MeV and a duty cycle of up to 6%. The driver Linac consists of an Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source followed by a LEBT section, a 2.5 MeV double Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and 35 normal conducting (NC) Crossbar H-Mode (CH) cavities. The development of the cavities is carried out by the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP) at the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main. Due to the high beam current, all cavities as well as the associated tuners and couplers have to be optimised for operation under high thermal load to ensure safe operation. In collaboration with the GSI Centre for Heavy Ion Research as the ideal test facility for high power tests, two cavities and the associated hardware are being designed and will be tested. The design and latest status of both cavities will be presented in this paper. | ||

| THPOPT024 | MIST - The MESA-Injector Source Two | 2624 |
|
||
|
Funding: Work supported by the German science ministry BMBF through Verbundforschung The new accelerator MESA (Mainz Energy Recovering Superconducting Accelerator) will provide an average CW electron beam current of up to 10 mA. Operating at 1.3 GHz, this corresponds to a bunch charge of 7.7 pC. The new DC photoemission source MIST is optimized for these requirements. A challenge is heating of the photocathode at high laser power. By a suitable mechanical construction and the use of specific materials, the heat can be dissipated during operation. Options for further improvements are discussed. |

| THPOPT045 | OPAL Simulations of the MESA Injection System | 2697 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work is supported by the DFG excellence initiative PRISMA+. The MESA injection system will produce the spin-polarized electron beam for the upcoming accelerator MESA in Germany. The photoemission electron source (STEAM) will deliver 150 uA of spin-polarized electrons from GaAs-based photocathodes for the P2 experiment. Afterwards the low-energy beam transportation system (MELBA) can rotate the spin using two Wien filters and a solenoid for polarization measurements and to compensate for the spin precession in MESA. A chopper and buncher system prepares the phase space for the first acceleration in the normal-conducting pre-booster MAMBO. First OPAL simulation results of MELBA were presented at IPAC’21. Meanwhile these simulations have been extended by a 270-degree-bending alpha magnet as well as the electrostatic and magnetostatic fieldmaps of the Wien filters. Furthermore the fieldmaps of the 4 modules of the pre-accelerator MAMBO have been implemented. Hence, the complete MESA injection system could be simulated in OPAL and the results will be shown. |

| New CH-DTL cavities designs of the planned Helmholtz Linear Accelerator (HELIAC) are developed in collaboration of HIM, GSI and IAP Frankfurt. The linac, operated in cw-mode with a final energy of 7.3 MeV/u, is intended for various experiments, in particular with heavy ions at energies close to the Coulomb barrier for research on SHE. Twelve sc CH cavities are foreseen, divided into four different cryostats. Each cavity will be equipped with dynamic bellow tuner. After successful beam tests with CH0, CH3 to CH11 are being designed. Based on the experience gained so far, optimization will be made, which will lead to both an increase in performance in terms of reducing the peak fields limiting superconductivity and a reduction in manufacturing costs and time. In order to optimize manufacturing, attention was paid to design many parts of the cavity, such as lids, spokes, tuner and helium shell, with the same geometrical dimensions. In addition, a tuner test rig was developed, which will be used to investigate the mechanical properties of the bellow tuner. For this purpose, different simulations were made in order to realize conditions as close as possible to reality in the test rig. | ||

| TUPOTK009 | Development of Superconducting CH Cavity Preparation at IAP | 1208 |
|

Funding: HIC for FAIR, BMBF Contr. No. 05P21RFRB2 and HFHF Goethe University (GU), Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) and Helmholtz Institut Mainz (HIM) work in collaboration on the Helmholtz Linear Accelerator (HELIAC). A new superconducting (sc) continous wave (cw) high intensity heavy ion linear accelerator (Linac) will provide ion beams with maximum duty factor up to beam energies of 7.3 MeV/u. The acceleration voltage will be provided by sc Crossbar-H-mode (CH) cavities, developed of Institute for Applied Physics (IAP) at GU. Cavity preparation is researched and optimized towards widely used elliptical multicell cavities. A standardized preparation protocol for CH cavities is researched in collaboration between GU, GSI and HIM on a 360 MHz 19 gap CH prototype. Baseline measurements and a 120°C 48 hour bake produced higher maximum gradient, higher intrinsic quality factor and a shorter cavity conditioning phase. As a critical preparation step, High Pressure Rinsing (HPR) with ultra pure water will be performed at HIM and is currently in preparation. HPR cycles are currently tested on a CH dummy with a new nozzle layout that is optimized towards CH cavity geometry. |

| THPOPT007 | High Bunch Charges in the Second Injection Beamline of MESA | 2574 |
|
||
| MESA (Mainz Energy-recovering Superconducting Accelerator) is an accelerator with two laser-driven electron sources (polarized and unpolarized) operating at 100 kV which is under construction at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. The unpolarized electron source MIST (MESA Injector Source Two) allows to produce high charged electron bunches with charge up to 7.7 pC. This source and a Mott polarimeter will be arranged on the same height above the MESA injector main beamline. A parallel shifting beamline was developed which allows to transport high charged beam from the source MIST to the main MESA beamline. Moreover, the designed beamline allows to transport beam from the electron source STEAM to the Mott polarimeter. This report is dedicated to the design of the separation beamline which transports and compresses highly charged electron bunches from the electron source MIST to the first acceleration section of MESA. | ||

| THPOTK022 | Cryogenic Infrastructure for the Mainz Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA) | 2813 |
|
||
|
Funding: Work supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) under the Cluster of Excellence "PRISMA+" EXC 2118/2019 The "Mainz Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator" (MESA), currently under construction at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany, requires a cryogenic infrastructure for its superconducting components. Prior to the start of the project, a helium liquefier was purchased that is capable of supplying the existing infrastructure of the Institute for Nuclear Physics, as well as the SRF test facility of the Helmholtz Institute. The liquefier has already been purchased in such a way that nitrogen pre-cooling can be integrated and can be upgraded for the operation of MESA. In addition to the superconducting accelerator modules, all components of the P2 experiment, i.e. solenoid, target and polarimeter (hydromoller), must also be supplied with liquid helium. Therefore, besides the upgrade of the liquefier, it is necessary to extend the system with a dedicated cryogenic supply for the P2 target. This paper presents the current status of the cryogenic supply of the MESA accelerator, the future modifications and additions. |
