MOPLB08 | Normal Conducting Deflecting Cavity Development at the Cockcroft Institute | cavity, wakefield, damping, electron | 159 |
|
|||
Funding: This work has been supported by STFC and the EU through FP7 EUCARD. Two normal conducting deflecting structures are currently being developed at the Cockcroft Institute, one as a crab cavity for CLIC and one for bunch slice diagnostics on low energy electron beams for EBTF at Daresbury. Each has its own challenges that need overcome. For CLIC the phase and amplitude tolerances are very stringent and hence beamloading effects and wakefields must be minimised. Significant work has been undertook to understand the effect of the couplers on beamloading and the effect of the couplers on the wakefields. For EBTF the difficulty is avoiding the large beam offset caused by the cavities internal deflecting voltage at the low beam energy. Propotypes for both cavities have been manufactured and results will be presented. |

MOPB021 | Bunch-by-bunch Phase Modulation for Linac Beam-loading Compensation | linac, impedance, injection, bunching | 216 |
|

Funding: supported by NSFC-CAS Joint Fund, contract no. 11079034 If the linac is loaded by a high current, long pulse multi-bunch beam, the energy of the beam drops with time during the pulse. The bunch phase modulation method is introduced to compensate the beam loading. In this method the beam phase in the RF accelerating filed is changed bunch-by-bunch, the beam energy gain in the RF filed gradually grows up, which cancels the drop due to beam loading. The relationship between the beam phase distribution and the linac parameters is calculated in this paper. |

MOPB031 | Vibration Response Testing of the CEBAF 12 GeV Upgrade Cryomodules | cryomodule, cavity, damping, controls | 240 |
|
|||
Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177 The CEBAF 12 GeV upgrade project includes 80 new 7-cell cavities assembled into 10 cryomodules. These cryomodules were tested during production to characterize their microphonic response in situ. For several early cryomodules, detailed (vibration) modal studies of the cryomodule string were performed during the assembly process to identify the structural contributors to the measured cryomodule microphonic response. Structural modifications were then modeled, implemented, and verified by subsequent modal testing and in-situ microphonic response testing. Interim and final results from this multi-stage process will be reviewed. |

TUPB061 | ADRC Control for Beam Loading and Microphonics | controls, cavity, LLRF, simulation | 615 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 Superconducting RF (SRF) cavities are subject to many disturbances such as beam loading and microphonics. Although we implemented Proportional Integral (PI) control and Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) in the Low Level RF (LLRF) system at FRIB to stabilize the RF field, the control loop gains are inadequate in the presence of beam loading and microphonics. An improved scheme is proposed and simulated with much higher gains are achieved. The feasibility to include piezo tuner in ADRC and PI circuit is also presented in this paper. |

TUPB107 | Amplitude and Phase Control of the Accelerating Field in the ESS Spoke Cavity | cavity, controls, feedback, simulation | 708 |
|

We report about numerical simulations of the accelerating field dynamics in the ESS spoke cavity in the presence of the beam loading and Lorentz detuning. A slow feedforward is used to cure the Lorentz detuning whereas a fast feedback through a signal oscillator and cavity pre-detuning technique are applied to eliminate the beam loading effect. An analysis performed with a Simulink model shows that a combination of feedforward, feedback and cavity pre-detuning result in a substantially shorter stabilization time of the field voltage and phase on a required level as compared to a control method using only the feedforward and feedback. The latter allows one to obtain smaller magnitude but longer duration of deviations of the instantaneous voltage and phase from the required nominal values. As a result, a series of cavities only with feedforward and feedback needs an extra control technique to mitigate a cumulative systematic error rising in each cavity. In addition, a technique of adiabatic turning off of the RF power in order to prevent a high reflected power in the case of a sudden beam loss is studied. | |||

In the last 25 years, we have been using our in house 3D code PRODYN * for electron beam simulations. We have also been using our in house code SECTION for the design of the travelling wave accelerating structures and the beam loading compensation. PRODYN follows in time, the most complicated electron trajectories with relativistic space-charge effects. This code includes backward as well as forwards movements. This paper will describe those two codes and will give some simulations and measurements results.

THPB085 | LLRF Automation for the 9mA ILC Tests at FLASH | cavity, controls, feedback, cryomodule | 1023 |
|
|||
Since 2009 and under the scope of the International Linear Collider (ILC) R&D, a series of studies takes place twice a year at the Free electron Laser accelerator in Hamburg, (FLASH) DESY, in order to investigate technical challenges related to the high-gradient, high-beam-current design of the ILC. Such issues as operating cavities near their quench limit with high beam loading or in klystron saturation regime are investigated, always pushing the limits of FLASH nominal operational conditions. To support these studies, a series of automation algorithms have been developed and implemented at DESY. These include automatic detection of cavity quenches, automatic adjustment of the superconducting cavity quality factor, and automatic compensation of detuning due to Lorentz forces. This paper explains the functionality of these automation tools, details about their implementation, and shows the experience acquired during the last 9mA ILC test which took place at DESY in February 2012. The benefit of these algorithms and the R&D results these automation tools have permitted will be clearly explained. | |||
