The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U) is a Department of Energy (DoE) funded project to increase the available x-ray beam brightness and add capability to enhance time-resolved experiments on few-ps-scale at APS. A centerpiece of the upgrade is the generation of short pulse x-rays (SPXs) for pump-probe time-resolved capability using SRF deflecting cavities[1]. The SPX project is designed to produce 1-2 ps x-ray pulses for some users compared to the standard 100 ps pulses currently produced. SPX calls for using superconducting rf (SRF) deflecting cavities to give the electrons a correlation between longitudinal position in the bunch and vertical momentum [2]. The light produced by this bunch can be passed through a slit to produce a pulse of light much shorter than the bunch length at reduced flux. The ongoing work of designing these cavities and associated technologies will be presented. This includes the design and prototyping of higher-order (HOM) and lower-order mode (LOM) couplers and dampers as well as the fundamental power coupler (FPC). This work will be given in the context of SPX0, a demonstration cryomodule with two deflecting cavities to be installed in APS in early 2014.

  Some of the advantages of superconducting spoke cavities are currently being investigated for the high-velocity regime. When determining a final, optimized geometry, one must consider the possible limiting effects multipacting could have on the cavity. We report on the results of analytical calculations and numerical simulations of multipacting electrons in superconducting spoke cavities and methods for reducing their impact.

Within the framework of the China Accelerator-Driven Sub-critical Systems (CADS) project, Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) Chinese Academic of Sciences has proposed a 162.5 MHz Half-Wave Resonator (HWR) Superconducting cavity for low energy section (β=0.09) of high power proton linear accelerators as a new injector II for CIADS. For the geometrical design of superconducting cavities structure mechanical simulations are essential to predict mechanical eigenmodes and the deformation of the cavity walls due to bath pressure effects and the cavity cool-down. Additionally, the tuning analysis has been investigated to control the frequency against microphonics and Lorentz force detuning. Therefore, several RF, static structure, thermal and modal analysis with a three-dimensional Finite-Element Method (FEM) code Traditional ANSYS have been performed.

The Cross-Bar H-type (CH) cavity is a multi-gap drift tube structure operated in the H21 mode [1]. The Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) has been doing research and development on this type of superconducting CH cavity which can work at the C-ADS (accelerator driver sub-critical system of China). A new geometry CH cavity has been proposed which have smaller radius. It’s suitable in fabrication, and it’s can reduce cost too .Detailed numerical simulations with CST MicroWave Studio have been performed. An overall surface reduction of 30% against the old structure seems feasible. A copper model CH cavity is being fabrication for validating the simulations and the procedure of fabricating niobium cavity.
 
 
SUPB029 Impact of Trapped Flux and Systematic Flux Expulsion in Superconducting Niobium 77

  The intrinsic quality factor Q0 of superconducting cavities is known to depend on various factors like niobium material properties, treatment history and magnetic shielding. We already reported an additional impact of temperature gradients during the cool-down on the obtained Q0. We believe cooling conditions can influence the level of flux trapping and hence the residual resistance. For further studies we have constructed a test stand using niobium rods to study flux trapping. Here we can precisely control the temperature and approach Tc in the superconducting state. Although the sample remains in the superconducting state a change in the amount of trapped flux is visible. The procedure can be applied repeatedly resulting in a significantly lowered level of trapped flux in the sample. Applying a similar procedure to a superconducting cavity could allow for reduction of the magnetic contribution to the surface resistance and result in a significant improvement of Q0.

  Recently, new geometries for superconducting crabbing and deflecting cavities have been developed that have significantly improved properties over those the standard TM110 cavities. They are smaller, have low surface fields, high shunt impedance and, more importantly for some of them, no lower-order-mode with a well-separated fundamental mode. This talk will present the status of the development of these cavities.

  Superconducting linear accelerators are developing for different applications – for fundamental researches in High-Energy and High – Intensity Frontiers, nuclear physics, energetics, neutron spallation sources, synchrotron radiation sources, etc. The linac applications dictate the requirements for superconducting acceleration system, and, thus, for SRF technology. Fermilab is currently involved in two projects: ILC and Project X, both are based on SRF technology. For High-Intensity Frontier investigations, the Project X – a multi-experiment facility is developing based on 3 GeV, CW H linac in the frame of a wide collaboration of US National Laboratories. In a CW H linac several families of SC cavities are used: half-wave resonators (162.5 MHz); single-spoke cavities, SSR1 and SSR2 (325 MHz); elliptical 5-cell β=0.6 and β=0.9 cavities (650 MHz). Pulsed 3-8 GeV linac and ILC linac are based on 9-cell 1.3 GHz cavities. In the paper the basic requirements and the status of development of SC accelerating cavities, auxiliaries (couplers, tuners, etc.) and cryomodules are presented as well as technology challenges caused by their specifics.

In the development of new superconducting materials for possible use in SRF-based accelerators, it is useful to work with small candidate samples rather than complete resonant cavities. The recently commissioned Jefferson Lab rf Surface Impedance Characterization (SIC) system* can presently characterize the central region of 50 mm diameter disk samples of various materials from 2 to 40 K exposed to RF magnetic fields up to 14 mT at 7.4 GHz. We report the measurement results from bulk Nb, thin film Nb on Cu and sapphire substrates, and thin film MgB2 on sapphire substrate provided by colleagues at JLab and Temple University. We also report on efforts to extend the operating range to higher fields.

The US Department of Energy has funded a near-complete renovation of the SRF-based accelerator research and development facilities at Jefferson Lab. The project to accomplish this, the Technical and Engineering Development Facility (TEDF) Project has completed the first of two phases. An entirely new 3,300 m2 purpose-built SRF technical work facility has been constructed and is being occupied in summer of 2012. All SRF work processes with the exception of cryogenic testing has been relocated into the new building. All cavity fabrication, processing, thermal treatment, chemistry, cleaning, and assembly work is collected conveniently into a new LEED-certified building. An innovatively designed 750 m2 cleanroom/chemrooms suite provides long-term flexibility for support of multiple R&D and construction projects as well as continued process evolution. The detailed characteristics of this perhaps first 2nd-generation SRF facility will be described.

Jefferson Lab has received and commissioned a new interferometric optical profilometer specifically designed to provide internal surface mapping of elliptical rf cavities. The CavitY CaLibrated Optical Profilometry System – CYCLOPS – provides better than 2 micron lateral resolution and 0.1 micron surface height resolution of programmatically selected locations on the interior surface of multi-cell cavities. The system is being used to provide detailed characterization of surface topographic evolution as a function of applied surface treatments and to investigate particular localized defects. We also intend to use the system for 3D mapping of actual interior rf surface geometry for feedback to structure design model and fabrication tooling. First uses will be illustrated.

BNL is developing several superconducting RF guns for different applications. The first gun is based on a half-cell 1.3 GHz elliptical cavity. This gun is used to study generation of polarized electrons from GaAs photocathodes. The second gun, also of a half-cell elliptical cavity design, operates at 704 MHz and is designed to produce high average current electron beam for the ERL prototype from a multi-alkali photocathodes. The third gun is of a quarter-wave resonator type, operating at 112 MHz. This gun will be used for photocathode studies, including a diamond-amplified cathode, and to generate high charge, low repetition rate beam for the coherent electron cooling experiment. In this presentation we will briefly describe the gun designs, present recent test results and discuss future plans.

Elliptical cavities have been a standard in SRF linac technology for 30 years. We present another approach to base cell geometry based on Bezier splines, that leads to equal performance levels and is much more flexible in terms of optimization. Using the BERLinPro main linac as an example, a spline multicell cavity is designed with equal performance goals. For the damping of higher order modes (HOMs), the installation of waveguides at the ends of a multicell cavity is a common approach.

The Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Project (BERLinPro) is designed to develop and demonstrate CW LINAC technology for 100-mA-class ERLs. High-current operation requires an effective damping of higher-order modes (HOMs) of the 1.3 GHz main-linac cavities. We have studied elliptical 7-cell cavities damped by on the whole five waveguides at both ends. Eigenmode computations for geometrical figures of merit show that the present design should allow successful CW linac operation at the maximum beam current of 100 mA/77 pC bunch charge. To verify the results, the external Q factors are compared to the results of S-Parameter simulations that are postprocessed by a pole-fitting technique. First results of scattering parameter measurement on a room-temperature aluminium model are discussed. An outlook presenting the possibilities of combined multi-cavity simulations is included.

  The performance of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) niobium (Nb) cavities strongly depends on final surface condition. Therefore the surface preparation of these SRF cavities often becomes critical. The preparation of surface includes two steps; surface chemistry (in order to get a smooth surface) and cleaning/rinsing (in order to remove contaminants left after the surface chemistry). As high pressure rinsing (HPR) with ultra pure water (UPW) is most commonly used surface cleaning method after the surface chemistry, it's very interesting to characterize the Nb surfaces after HPR. Results of our surface characterization done by XPS (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) with depth profiling show the presence of a thicker oxide surface characterization results show the presence of a thicker oxide layer at Nb surface as an outcome of HPR. In this article, we report the production of oxide layer (FWHM thickness) based on different conditions such as the pressures and doses.

Quality control is a key factor in the success of SRF cavity mass production. This paper summarizes ongoing research at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams FRIB to validate the quality assurance of SRF cavities meanwhile optimizing processing procedures for mass production. Experiments are conducted to correlate surface cleanliness for niobium surfaces with high pressure rinse time using β=0.085 quarter-wave resonators (QWR) cavities. Diagnostic devices; liquid particle counter, surface particle detector and TOC analyzer are used to monitor key parameters for quality control. Rinse water samples are collected during high pressure rinsing to measure liquid particle counts. The SLS 1200 Sampler is used to detect the presence of liquid particles of 0.2 microns and up to 1 micron to set standards for acceptable cleaning thresholds and optimize high pressure rinse time. The QIII+ surface particle detector is used to scan high electric field region for the β=0.085 QWR to ensure high pressure rinsing efficiency. The β=0.085 QWR RF testing data are analyzed and results are presented to demonstrate the correlation between attained acceleration gradients and surface cleanliness.

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will utilize over 330 superconducting radio frequency (SRF) low beta cavities for its heavy ion driver linac. The SRF department will process and test all cavities prior to string assembly in the cleanroom. The baseline cavity surface and bulk niobium processing procedures have been established. The methods are being optimized for production process rate benchmarking. Additional processes are being developed to increase flexibility and reduce technical risks. This paper will describe procedure developments and experimental results. Topics include high temperature heat treatment for hydrogen degassing, selective chemical etching for cavity frequency tuning, low-temperature bake out and process quality control.

  Multi-spokes superconducting cavities in the high-beta regime are being considered for a number of applications. In order to accurately model the dynamics of the particles in such cavities, knowledge of the fields off-axis are needed. We present a study of the multipoles expansion of the fields from an EM simulation field data for a two-spoke cavity operating at 325 MHz, β = 0.82 and 500 MHz, β = 1.

  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.

  In the framework of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), a superconducting option has been chosen for the 5 MeV RF Linac of the first phase of the project (EVEDA), based on a cryomodule composed of 8 HWRs, 8 RF couplers and 8 Solenoid packages. The frequency tuning system of the IFMIF HWR is an innovated system based on a capacitive plunger installed in the electric field region allowing a large tuning range. Following the cold test results obtained on HWR equipped with the first design of plunger in 2011*, it was decided to develop a new design of a fully-niobium plunger. The paper will present the development of the new plunger concepts and the thermo-mechanical simulations. For the mechanical simulations, the aim is to sufficiently deform the plunger to tune the cavity while staying in the elastic range of the niobium material. For the thermal simulations, all the non-linear properties of the materials and the effects of the RF fields are taken into account: thermal conductivity and surface resistance are depending on the temperature, RF fields computed with dedicated software are leading to thermal dissipations in the materials and the vacuum seal.

  Project-X 3-8 GeV pulsed linac is based on ILC type 1.3 GHz elliptical cavities. The cavity will operate at 25 MV/m accelerating gradient, but in contrast with XFEL and ILC projects the required loaded Q is much higher (Q=107) and RF pulse is much longer (~8ms). For these parameters Lorence force detuning (LFD) and microphonics should be controlled at the level <30 Hz. A new algorithm of LFD compensation, developed at Fermilab for ILC cavities was applied for Lorentz force compensation studies for 8ms pulses. In these studies two cavities inside TESLA-type cryomodule at Fermilab NML facility have been powered by one klystron. Studies done for different cavity gradients and different values of loaded Q demonstrated that required compensation are achievable. Detuning measurements and compensation results are presented.

  The S1-Global collaboration (scope and plans presented at Linac10) ended successfully in 2011. In the S1-Global experiment several variants of ILC components (e.g. cavities, tuners, modules, couplers) proposed by all SCRF collaborators worldwide have been extensively tested and their performances compared, in order to build consensus for the technical choices towards the ILC TDR and to develop further the concept of plug-compatible components for ILC. The experiment has been carried at KEK with contribution of hardware and manpower from all collaborators.

  Recently, new geometries for superconducting crabbing and deflecting cavities have been developed that have significantly improved properties over those the standard TM110 cavities. They are smaller, have low surface fields, high shunt impedance and, more importantly for some of them, no lower-order-mode with a well-separated fundamental mode. This talk will present the status of the development of these cavities.
