Understanding beam losses is important for the high-intensity RIA driver linac. Small fractional beam losses can produce radioactivation of the beamline components that can prevent or hinder hands-on maintenance, reducing facility availability. Operational and alignment errors in the RIA driver linac can lead to beam losses caused by irreversible beam-emittance growth and halo formation. We are developing multiparticle beam-dynamics simulation codes for RIA driver-linac simulations extending from the low-energy beam transport (LEBT) line to the end of the linac. These codes run on the NERSC parallel supercomputing platforms at LBNL, which allow us to run simulations with large numbers of macroparticles for the beam-loss calculations. The codes have the physics capabilities needed for RIA, including transport and acceleration of multiple-charge-state beams, and beam-line elements such as high-voltage platforms within the linac, interdigital accelerating structures, charge-stripper foils, and capabilities for handling the effects of machine errors and other off-normal conditions. We will present the status of the work, including examples showing some initial beam-dynamics simulations.

A control method, known as adaptive feedforward cancellation (AFC) is applied to damp sinusoidal disturbances due to microphonics in superconducting RF (SRF) cavities. AFC provides a method for damping internal, and external sinusoidal disturbances with known frequencies. It is preferred over other schemes because it uses rudimentary information about the frequency response at the disturbance frequencies, without the necessity of knowing an analytic model (transfer function) of the system. It estimates the magnitude and phase of the sinusoidal disturbance inputs and generates a control signal to cancel their effect. AFC, along with a frequency estimation process, is shown to be very successful in the cancellation of sinusoidal signals from different sources. The results of this research may significantly reduce the power requirements and increase the stability for lightly loaded continuous-wave SRF systems.

The Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) driver linac proposed by Michigan State University (MSU) will use a 10th sub-harmonic based, superconducting, cw linac to accelerate light and heavy ions to final energies of ≤400 MeV/u with beam powers of 100 to 400 kW. The driver linac uses superconducting quarter-wave, half-wave, and six-cell elliptical cavities with frequencies ranging from 80.5 MHz to 805 MHz for acceleration, and superconducting solenoids and room temperature quadrupoles for transverse focusing. For the heavier ions, two stages of charge-stripping and multiple-charge-state acceleration will be used to meet the beam power requirements and to minimize the requisite accelerating voltage. End-to-end, three-dimensional (3D), beam dynamics simulations from the ECR to the radioactive beam production targets have been performed. These studies include a 3D analysis of multi-charge-state beam acceleration, evaluation of transverse misalignment and rf errors on the machine performance, modeling of the charge-stripping and stripping-chicane performance, and beam switchyard design. The results of these beam dynamics studies will be presented, and further planned beam dynamics studies will be discussed.

An 80.5 MHz, continuous-wave, normal-conducting, radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) was designed for the front end of the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) driver linac. It will accelerate various ion beams (hydrogen up to uranium) from 12 keV/u to about 300 keV/u. The 4-meter-long RFQ accepts the pre-bunched beam from the low energy beam transport (LEBT) and captures more than 80% with a current of ~0.3 mA. Beam dynamics simulations show that the longitudinal output emittance is small for both single- and two-charge-state ion beams with an external multi-harmonic buncher. A 4-vane resonator with magnetic coupling windows was employed in the cavity design to provide large mode separation, high shunt impedance, and a small transverse dimension. The results of beam dynamics as well as the electromagnetic simulations are presented.

We have built a 161 MHz, β=0.16 superconducting Quarter Wave Resonator with steering correction for the low beta section of RIA. This bulk niobium, double wall cavity, compatible with both separate vacuum between beam line and cryostats or unified one, was designed in collaboration between MSU-NSCL and LNL. The design is suitable for extension to other frequencies, e.g. to obtain the 80 MHz, β=0.085 cavity required in RIA. The shaped drift tube allows correction of the residual QWR steering that can cause emittance growth especially in light ions; this could make this resonator a good alternative to Half-Wave resonators in high intensity proton-deuteron linacs, like the SPES injector project at LNL. First test results will be presented.

Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) linacs with light beam loading, such as the CEBAF upgrade, RIA and energy recovery linacs, operate more efficiently with loaded-Q values >1·107. The narrow band-width puts stringent limits on acceptable levels of vibration, also called microphonics, that detune the SRF cavities. Typical sources of vibration are rotating machinery, fluid fluctuations and ground motion. A prototype RIA 805 MHz v/c=0.47 cryomodule is presently under test in realistic operating conditions [1]. Real-time frequency detuning measurements were made for modulation rates from DC to 1 kHz. At 2 K the maximum frequency deviation was less than 100 Hz peak-to-peak, and was consistent with high loaded-Q operation. The measured modulation spectrum was primarily made up of discrete Fourier components with modulation frequencies less than 80 Hz. Using an accelerometer and helium pressure transducer, the primary sources of vibration were determined to be the high power cryoplant motors and 2 K helium fluctuations. Adaptive feedforward was used to decrease the magnitude of individual Fourier components by four to ten times [2]. Details of the experimental setup and measurements will be presented.

The Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) driver linac will use superconducting, 805 MHz, 6-cell elliptical cavities with geometric β values of 0.47, 0.61 and 0.81. Each elliptical cavity cryomodule will have four cavities [1]. Room temperature sections between each cryomodule will consist of quadrupole doublets, beam instrumentation, and vacuum systems. Michigan State University (MSU) has designed a compact cryostat that reduces the tunnel cross-section and improves the linac real estate gradient. The cold mass alignment is accomplished with a titanium rail system supported by adjustable nitronic links from the top vacuum plate, and is similar to that used for existing MSU magnet designs. The same concept has also been designed to accommodate the quarter-wave and half-wave resonators with superconducting solenoids used at lower velocity in RIA. Construction of a prototype β=0.47 cryomodule was completed in February 2004 and is presently under test in realistic operating conditions. Experimental results will be presented including: alignment, electromagnetic performance, frequency tuning, cryogenic performance, low-level rf control, and control of microphonics.
