  A set of seven 72 MHz β=0.077 superconducting quarter-wave cavities for a beam intensity upgrade of the ATLAS heavy-ion accelerator has been completed. Cavities have been fabricated using the lessons learned from the worldwide effort to extend the performance of niobium cavities close to the limits of the material. Key developments include the use of electropolishing on the completed cavity and with a temperature control system substantially upgraded from that for elliptical-cell EP systems. Wire EDM, used instead of traditional niobium machining, appears to be effective in eliminating performance limiting defects near the weld seams. Hydrogen degassing at 600C after electropolishing permits practical acceleration at 2 Kelvin with Bpeak>120 mT and cavity voltages>5 MV/cavity.

This paper reports on the development and testing of a superconducting quarter-wave and a superconducting half-wave resonator. The quarter-wave resonator is designed for β = 0.077 ions, operates at 72 MHz and can provide more than 7.4 MV of accelerating voltage at the design beta, with peak surface fields of 164 mT and 117 MV/m. Operation was limited to this level not by RF surface defects but by our available RF power and administrative limits on x-ray production. A similar goal is being pursued in the development of a half-wave resonator designed for β = 0.29 ions and operated at 325 MHz.

The accelerator development group in ANL’s Physics Division has engaged in substantial R&D related to CW proton and ion accelerators. Particularly, a 4 meter long 60.625 MHz CW RFQ has been developed, built and is being commissioned with beam. Development and fabrication of a cryomodule with seven 72.75 MHz quarter-wave cavities is complete and it is being assembled. Off-line testing of several QWRs has demonstrated outstanding performance in terms of both accelerating voltage and surface resistance. Both the RFQ and cryomodule were developed and built to upgrade ATLAS to higher efficiency and beam intensities. Another cryomodule with eight 162.5 MHz SC HWRs and eight SC solenoids is being developed and built for Project X at FNAL. We are also developing both an RFQ and cryomodules (housing 176 MHz HWRs) for proton & deuteron acceleration at SNRC (Soreq, Israel). In this paper we discuss ANL-developed technologies for normal-conducting and SC accelerating structures for medium- and high-power CW accelerators, including the projects mentioned above and other developments for applications such as transmutation of spent reactor fuel.
