The demonstration of muon ionization cooling by a large factor is necessary to demonstrate the feasilibility of a collider or neutrino factory. An important cooling experiment, MICE [1], has been proposed to demonstrate 10 % cooling which will validate the technology. Ionization cooling is accomplished by passing a high-emittance beam in a multi-Tesla solenoidal channel alternately through regions of low Z material and very high accelerating RF Cavities. To determine the effect of very large solenoidal magnetic fields on the generations of Dark current, X-Rays and breakdown Voltage gradients of vacuum RF cavities, a test facility has been established at Fermilab in Lab G. This facility consists of a 12 MW 805 MHz RF station, and a large bore 5 T solenoidal superconducting magnet containing a pill box type Cavity with thin removable window apertures allowing dark current studies and breakdown studies of different materials. The results of this study will be presented. The study has shown that the peak achievable accelerating gradient is reduced by almost a factor two in a 4 T field.

| TH103 | Summary of the Argonne Workshop on High Gradient RF | 564 |
|
||
| Workshop on High Gradient rf was held at Argonne from October 7 - 9, 2003. This workshop reviewed the problems encountered when a number of accelerator technologies approached the high gradient limits. The aim of the workshop was to involve materials scientists and try to look at trigger mechanisms and surface interactions, in addition to reviewing progress. Talks were presented on superconducting rf, progress with high and low frequency copper cavities, and dielectrics. The focus was on both experimental and theoretical aspects of the problem. The overall picture presented at the workshop will be summarized. | ||
