SUPB004 | Linac Optics Design for Multi-turn ERL Light Source | linac, optics, acceleration, cryomodule | 7 |
|
|||
The optics simulation group at HZB is designing a multi-turn energy recovery linac-based light source. Using the superconducting Linac technology, the Femto-Science-Factory (FSF) will provide its users with ultra-bright photon beams of angstrom wavelength at 6 GeV. The FSF is intended to be a multi-user facility and offer a variety of operation modes. In this paper a design of transverse optic of the beam motion in the Linacs is presented. An important point in the optics design was minimization of the beta-functions in the linac at all beam passes to suppress beam break-up (BBU) instability. | |||

SUPB012 | Status of CH Cavity and Solenoid Design of the 17 MeV Injector for MYRRHA | solenoid, focusing, rfq, quadrupole | 29 |
|
|||
Funding: This work has been supported by the EU (FP7 MAX contract number 269565) The multifunctional subcritical reactor MYRRHA (Multi-purpose hybrid research reactor for high-tech applications) will be an accelerator driven system (ADS) located in Mol (Belgium). The first accelerating section up to 17 MeV is operated at 176 MHz and consists of a 4-rod-RFQ followed by two room temperature CH cavities with integrated triplet lenses and four superconducting CH structures with intertank solenoids. Each room temperature CH cavity provides about 1 MV effective voltage gain using less than 30 kW of RF power. The superconducting resonators have been optimized for electric peak fields below 30 MV/m and magnetic peak fields below 30 mT. For save operation of the superconducting resonators the magnetic field of the intertank solenoids has to be well shielded towards the CH cavity walls. Different coil geometries have been compared to find the ideal solenoid layout. |

The design work of the Injector II, which is 10 MeV proton linac, in C-ADS project is being finished and some key elements are being fabricated. Now it is necessary to definite the operation mode of beam commissioning, including the selection of the beam current, pulse length and repetition frequency. Also the beam commissions plan should be specified. The beam commissions procedures is simulated with t-mode code GPT. In this paper, the general beam commissioning plan of Injector II in CIADS and simulation results of commissions procedures are presented. | |||
SUPB015 | Production and Quality Control of the First Modules of the IFMIF-EVEDA RFQ | survey, controls, coupling, rfq | 38 |
|

SUPB018 | Studies of Parasitic Cavity Modes for Proposed ESS Linac Lattices | linac, simulation, proton, lattice | 47 |
|
|||
The European Spallation Source (ESS) planned for construction in Lund, Sweden, will be the worlds most intense source of pulsed neutrons. The neutrons will be generated by the collision of a 2.5 GeV proton beam with a heavy-metal target. The superconducting section of the proton linac is split into three different types of cavities, and a question for the lattice designers is at which points in the beamline these splits should occur. This note studies various proposed designs for the ESS lattice from the point of view of the effect on the beam dynamics of the parasitic cavity modes lying close in frequency to the fundamental accelerating mode. Each linac design is characterised by the initial kinetic energy of the beam, as well as by the velocity of the beam at each of the points at which the cavity style changes. The scale of the phase-space disruption of the proton pulse is discussed, and some general conclusions for lattice designers are stated. | |||
SUPB019 | The Multipacting Simulation for the New-Shaped QWR using TRACK3P | simulation, accelerating-gradient, electron, niobium | 50 |
|
|||
In order to improve the electro-magnetic performance of the quarter wave resonator, a new-shaped cavity with an elliptical cylinder outer conductor has been proposed. This novel cavity design can provide much lower peak surface magnetic field and much higher Ra/Q0 and G. The Multipacting simulation has been done for this new QWR cavity using ACE3P/TRACK3P code, in this paper the simulation results will be presented and analyzed. | |||
SUPB020 | Structural Analysis of the New-Shaped QWR for HIAF in IMP | simulation, superconducting-cavity, SRF, controls | 53 |
|
|||
Since the QWR cavity is very successful for the operation with frequency of 48 to 160 MHz and beta value of 0.001 to 0.2, a new-shaped QWR is being designed for the low energy superconducting section of HIAF in the Institute of Modern Physics. The cavity will work at 81.25 MHz and \beta of 0.085,with a elliptical cylinder outer conductor to better its electro-magnetic performance and keep limited accelerating space. Structural design is an important aspect of the overall cavity implementation, and in order to minimize the frequency shift of the cavity due to the helium bath pressure fluctuations, the Lorentz force and microphonic excitation, stiffening elements have to be applied. In this paper, structural analyses of the new-shaped QWR are presented and stiffening methods are explored. | |||
SUPB022 | First Measurements on the 325 MHz Superconducting CH Cavity | simulation, controls, linac, coupling | 56 |

Funding: Work supported by HIM, GSI, BMBF Contr. No. 06FY161I At the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP), Frankfurt University, a superconducting 325 MHz CH-Cavity has been designed and built. This 7-cell cavity has a geometrical \beta of 0.16 corresponding to a beam energy of 11.4 AMeV. The design gradient is 5 MV/m. Novel features of this resonator are a compact design, low peak fields, easy surface processing and power coupling. Furthermore a new tuning system based on bellow tuners inside the resonator will control the frequency during operation.

In this paper first measurements and corresponding simulations will be presented. |

Funding: Helmholtz Institut Mainz (HIM), GSI, BMBF Contr. No. 06FY7102 Since the existing UNILAC at GSI will be used as an injector for the FAIR facility a new superconducting (sc) continous wave (cw) LINAC is highly requested by a broad community of future users to fulfil the requirements of nuclear chemistry, especially in the research field of Super Heavy Elements (SHE). This LINAC is under design in collaboration with the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP) of Frankfurt University, GSI and the Helmholtz Institut Mainz (HIM). It will consist of 9 sc Crossbar-H-mode (CH) cavities operated at 217 MHz which provide an energy up to 7.3 AMeV. Currently, a prototype of the cw LINAC is under development. This demonstrator comprises the first sc CH cavity of the LINAC embedded between two sc solenoids mounted in a horizontal cryomodule. One important milestone of the project will be a full performance test of the demonstrator by injecting and accelerating a beam from the GSI High Charge State Injector (HLI) in 2014.

SUPB025 | Development of Superconducting Radio-Frequency (SRF) Deflecting Mode Cavities and Associated Waveguide Dampers for the APS Upgrade Short Pulse X-Ray Project | HOM, photon, cryomodule, damping | 65 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CHI1357. 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. [1] A. Zholents, et al., NIM A 425, 385 (1999) [2] A.

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. | |||

Funding: This work is Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Agreement 91026001) 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. |

SUPB028 | The Superconducting CH Cavity Development in IMP* | simulation, linac, niobium, resonance | 74 |
|

Funding: Work supported by 91026001 Nature Science Foundation of China 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 | niobium, SRF, controls, superconductivity | 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. | |||
SUPB032 | The C-band RF Pulse Compression for Soft XFEL at SINAP | coupling, simulation, klystron, free-electron-laser | 83 |
|
|||
A compact soft X-ray free electron laser facility is presently being constructed at shanghai institute of applied physics (SINAP), Chinese academy of science in 2012 and will be accomplished in 2014. This facility requires a compact linac with a high-gradient accelerating structure for a limited overall length less than 230 m. The c-band technology which is already used in KEK/Spring-8 linear accelerator is a good compromise for this compact facility and a c-and traveling-wave accelerating structure was already fabricated and tested at SINAP, so a c-band pulse compression will be required. AND a SLED type RF compression scheme is proposed for the C-band RF system of the soft XFEL and this scheme uses TE0.1.15 mode energy storage cavity for high Q-energy storage. The C-band pulse compression under development at SINAP has a high power gain about 3.1 and it is designed to compress the pulse width from 2.5 μs to 0.5 μs and multiply the input RF power of 50 MW to generate 160 MW peak RF power, and the coupling coefficient will be 8.5. It has three components: 3 dB coupler, mode convertors and the resonant cavities. | |||
SUPB038 | Multipole Field Effects for the Superconducting Parallel-Bar Deflecting/Crabbing Cavities | dipole, multipole, superconductivity, luminosity | 92 |
|
|||
The superconducting parallel-bar deflecting/crabbing cavity is currently being considered as one of the design options in rf separation for the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade and for the crabbing cavity for the proposed LHC luminosity upgrade. Knowledge of multipole field effects is important for accurate beam dynamics study of rf structures. The multipole components can be accurately determined numerically using the electromagnetic surface field data in the rf structure. This paper discusses the detailed analysis of those components for the fundamental deflecting/crabbing mode and higher order modes in the parallel-bar deflecting/crabbing cavity. | |||
SUPB039 | Compact Superconducting Crabbing and Deflecting Cavities | dipole, HOM, damping, collider | 95 |

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. | |||

The European XFEL is presently under construction in Hamburg, Germany. It consists of a 1.2 km long superconducting linac serving an about 3 km long electron beam transport system. Three undulator systems of up to 200 m length each produce hard and soft x-rays via the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) process.

|

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. | |||

MO3A01 | Development of H-mode Linacs for the FAIR Project | linac, DTL, proton, ion | 120 |
|
|||
H-mode cavities offer outstanding shunt impedances at low beam energies and enable the acceleration of intense ion beams. Crossed-bar H-cavities extend these properties to energies even beyond 100 MeV. Thus, the designs of the new injector linacs for FAIR, i.e. a 70 MeV, 70 mA proton driver for pbar-production and a cw intermediate mass, superconducting ion linac are based on these novel cavities. Several prototypes (normal & super-conducting) have been built and successfully tested. Moreover, designs for a replacement of the 80 MV Alvarez section of the GSI - Unilac will be discussed to improve the capabilities as the future FAIR heavy ion injector. | |||

|

A new injector for the RIKEN RI-Beam Factory (RIBF) has been fully commissioned since October 2011. The injector accelerates ions of m/q=6.8 up to 670 keV/u. In order to save the cost and space, a direct coupling scheme was adopted for rf coupling between the cavity and amplifier, based on an elaborate design with the Microwave Studio code. It has worked out very stably in these three months, making the uranium beam intensity higher by one order of magnitude. Moreover, it is now possible to operate the RIBF and GARIS facility for the super-heavy element synthesis independently. | |||

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. |

A description is given of a photoinjector designed for Compact Linear Advanced Research Accelerator (CLARA) and Electron Beam Test Facility (EBTF), which will eventually be used to drive a compact FEL. The photoinjector is based on a 2.5 cell S-band photocathode RF gun operating with a copper photocathode and driven by a third harmonic of Ti: Sapphire laser (266 nm) installed in dedicated thermally stabilized room. The injector will be operated with laser pulses with an energy of up to 2 mJ, a pulse duration of 100 fs and initially a repetition rate of 10 Hz, with the aim of increasing this eventually to 400 Hz. At a field gradient of 100 MV/m provided by a 10 MW klystron the gun is expected to deliver beam pulses with energy of up to 6 MeV. Duration and emittance of electron bunches essentially depend on the bunch charge and vary from 0.1 ps at 20 pC to 5 ps at 200 pC and from 0.2 to 2 mm mrad respectively. Additional compression of the electron bunches will be provided with a velocity bunching scheme. For thermal stability the low energy part of the injector is mounted on an artificial granite support. | |||

MOPB025 | 1ms Multi-bunch Electron Beam Acceleration by a Normal Conducting RF Gun and Superconducting Accelerator | gun, laser, emittance, cathode | 228 |
|
|||
Funding: Quantum Beam Project by MEXT, Japan We perform electron beam generation and acceleration of 1 ms long pulse and multi-bunch format at KEK-STF (Superconducting Test Facility). The 1 ms long pulse beam is generated by a normal conducting photo-cathode L-band RF gun. The beam is boosted up to 40 MeV by a super-conducting accelerator. Aim of STF is to establish the super-conducting accelerator technology for ILC (International Linear Collider). The facility is concurrently used to demonstrate high brightness X-ray generation by inverse laser Compton scattering supported by MEXT Quantum Beam project. The RF gun cavity has been fabricated by DESY-FNAL-KEK collaboration. After conditioning process, a stable operation of the cavity up to 4.0 MW RF input with 1 ms pulse was achieved by keeping low dark current. 1 ms pulse generation and acceleration has been confirmed in March 2012. Quasi-monochromatic X-ray generation experiment by Laser-Compton will be carried out at STF from the next coming July. We report the latest status of STF. |

MOPB030 | Performance of First C100 Cryomodules for the CEBAF 12 GeV Upgrade Project | cryomodule, linac, vacuum, instrumentation | 237 |
|
|||
Funding: This manuscript has been authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is currently engaged in the 12 GeV Upgrade Project. The goal of the project is a doubling of the available beam energy of CEBAF from 6 GeV to 12 GeV. This increase in beam energy will be due primarily to the construction and installation of ten “C100” cryomodules in the CEBAF linacs. The C100 cryomodules are designed to deliver an average 108 MV each from a string of eight seven-cell, electropolished superconducting RF cavities operating at an average accelerating gradient of 19.2 MV/m. The new cryomodules fit in the same available linac space as the original CEBAF 20 MV cryomodules. Cryomodule production started in September 2010. Initial acceptance testing started in June 2011. The first two C100 cryomodules were installed and tested from August 2011 through October 2011, and successfully operated during the last period of the CEBAF 6 GeV era, which ended in May 2012. This paper will present the results of acceptance testing and commissioning of the C100 style cryomodules to date. |

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. |

The optics simulation group at HZB is designing a multi-turn energy recovery linac-based light source.

The FSF is intended to be a multi-user facility and offer a variety of operation modes. In this paper a design of transverse optic of the beam motion in the Linacs is presented. An important point in the optics design was minimization of the beta-functions in the linac at all beam passes to suppress beam break-up (BBU) instability. | |||

|
|||
Funding: Work supported by POSTECH Physics BK21 Program. We design a C-band standing-wave accelerator for an X-ray and electron source of medical radiotherapy. The accelerator system is operated two modes, using the X-ray and electron beams. Since two modes require different energy, the accelerator is capable of producing 6-MeV, 100-mA pulsed electron beams with peak 2-MW RF power, and 7.5-MeV, 50 mA electron beams with peak 2.5-MW RF power. The beam is focused by less than 1 mm without external magnets. The accelerating structure is a bi-periodic and on-axis-coupled structure with a built-in bunching section, which consists of 3 bunching cells, 14 normal cells and a coupling cell. It is operated with the π/2-mode standing-wave. The bunching cells are designed to enhance the RF phase focusing. Each cavity is designed by the MWS code within 3% inter-cell coupling. In this paper, we present design details of RF cavities and the beam dynamics. |

MOPB055 | Development of Superconducting Radio-Frequency (SRF) Deflecting Mode Cavities and Associated Waveguide Dampers for the APS Upgrade Short Pulse X-Ray Project | HOM, photon, cryomodule, damping | 300 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CHI1357. 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. [1] A. Zholents, et al., NIM A 425, 385 (1999) [2] A.

MOPB065 | Impact of Trapped Magnetic Flux and Systematic Flux Expulsion in Superconducting Niobium | niobium, SRF, controls, superconductivity | 327 |
|
|||
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. | |||

Funding: this work is partly funded by BMBF contract no. 05K10PEA 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. |

Funding: this work is partly funded by BMBF contract no. 05K10PEA and 05K10HRC 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. |

MOPB069 | Study of HPR Created Oxide Layer at Nb Surfaces | SRF, vacuum, electron, ion | 336 |
|
|||
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. | |||
MOPB070 | Quality Control of Cleanroom Processing Procedures of SRF Cavities for Mass Production | controls, SRF, acceleration, diagnostics | 339 |
|
|||
Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661. 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. |

MOPB073 | Cold Testing of Superconducting 72 MHz Quarter-wave Cavities for ATLAS | cryomodule, niobium, linac, accelerating-gradient | 348 |
|

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. | |||
MOPB074 | Thermo-Mechanical Simulations of the Frequency Tuning Plunger for the IFMIF Half-Wave Resonator | niobium, simulation, vacuum, cryomodule | 351 |
|
|||
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.

MOPB077 | Lorentz Force Detuning Compensation Studies for Long Pulses in ILC type SRF Cavities | cryomodule, controls, linac, SRF | 354 |
|
|||
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. | |||
MOPB079 | Normal Conducting Deflecting Cavity Development at the Cockcroft Institute | beam-loading, wakefield, damping, electron | 357 |
|
|||
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. |

MOPB084 | Design of a C-band Disk-loaded Type Accelerating Structure for a Higher Pulse Repetition Rate in the SACLA Accelerator. | laser, wakefield, accelerating-gradient, electron | 372 |
|
|||
The higher pulse repetition rate of the SACLA accelerator provides a higher rate of X-ray laser pulses to expand ability of user experiments, such as simultaneously providing the laser to several beamlines and reducing a measuring time in the experiment. Therefore, we studied on a C-band accelerating structure for a higher pulse rate above 120 pps than that of the present case of 60 pps. The designed structure adopts a TM01-2π/3 mode disk-loaded type with a quasi-constant gradient . Since higher repetition rate operation is inclined to increase a number of vacuum electrical discharges, it is required to reduce the surface electric field in the structure. We designed an ellipsoidal curvature shape around an iris aperture, which reduces the maximum surface field by 20%. Since the higher repetition rate also increases the heat load of the structure, in simulation, we optimized cooling channels to obtain acceptable frequency detuning. As the results of the design, an accelerating gradient of more than 40 MV/m will be expected, when an input RF power of 80 MW is applied to the structure. In this paper, we report the design of the C-band accelerating structure and its rf properties. | |||

The RFQ for one of front ends of C-ADS is designed. The frequency of the RFQ is 162.5 MHz and the energy is 2.1 MeV. The beam intensity is 15 mA and it works at CW mode. Because of low frequency, the four-wing structure is big size. It makes fabrication will take more risks. Therefore, four fabrication testing were planned and done to minimize the technic risks. The description about fabrication and testing results are presented in the paper. | |||

The ARIEL project at TRIUMF includes a 50 MeV-10 mA electron linear accelerator (e-Linac) using 1.3 GHz superconducting technology. The accelerator is divided into three cryomodules including a single cavity injector cryomodule (ICM) and two accelerating cryomodules with two cavities each. The ICM is being built first. The ICM utilizes a unique top-loading box vacuum vessel. The shape allows the addition of a 4 K/2 K cryogenic unit that accepts near atmospheric LHe and converts to 2 K liquid inside the cryomodule. The cryomodule design is complete and in fabrication. The 4 K/2 K cryogenic unit has been assembled and tested in a test cryostat.

MOPB094 | Simulation Study on the Longitudinal Bunch Shape Measurement by RF Chopper at J-PARC Linac | emittance, simulation, linac, DTL | 395 |
|
|||
A RF chopper is placed in the medium energy transport section (MEBT1) at J-PARC linac. The chopper is normally driven at synchronous phase of 0 degree to give a maximum deflection. The chopper has two RF gaps and both of them deflect a beam bunch horizontally while RF is on. In the MEBT1 section, while we have a transverse emittance monitor, there is no longitudinal monitor. It is hard to newly place a longitudinal beam monitor there due to space limitation. We conduct a simulation which studies on the usability of the chopper to a longitudinal beam monitor. When the synchronous phase of the chopper is ± 90 degree, the longitudinal beam profile is projected to horizontal beam distribution. In this presentation, we introduce simulation results. | |||

The electron hadron collider eRHIC will collide polarized and unpolarized electrons with a current of 50 mA and energy in the range of 5 GeV to 30 GeV with hadron beams, including heavy ions or polarized light ions of the RHIC storage ring. The electron beam will be generated in an energy recovery linac contained inside the RHIC tunnel, comprising six passes through two linac section of about 2.5 GeV each.

Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under contract number DE-AC02-06CH11357 and WFO 8R268. This paper reports on the development and testing of a superconducting quarter-wave and a superconducting half-wave resonator.

TUPB006 | Stability Performance of the Injector for SACLA/XFEL at SPring-8 | laser, controls, undulator, FEL | 486 |
|
|||
To realize the SACLA, it is necessary to obtain stabilities of 10-4 and 50 fs in the amplitude and time of an acceleration voltage, respectively. The achievement of the rf stabilities were almost satisfactory for the target values. Consequently, the 7 GeV beam energy stability was 0.02% (std.) or less. However, there was XFEL power variation caused by a variation of a beam position in a 40 MeV injector section. A periodically changed beam position of 40 μm (std.) was found out at a cycle of 2 s by Fourier transform method using BPM data. The temperatures of all the injector rf cavities are controlled within 28±0.04˚C by a controller using the cooling water. The AC power supplies of the controller to heat the cooling water are operated at 0.5 Hz by pulse width modulation control with alternatively turning on or off. The strong correlation between laser intensity variation and the modulation frequency of the AC power supplies was found out. We are planning to improve the cavity temperature variation in the order of less than 0.01˚C with DC power supplies to establish continuously regulated the cavity temperature. This plan will reduce the XFEL power variation. | |||

In summer 2011, we have performed the first test of continuous wave (cw) and long pulse (lp) operation of the XFEL prototype cryomodule, which originally has been designed for short pulse operation. In April and June 2012, the second test took place, with the next cryomodule prototype. For that test cooling in the cryomodule was improved and new LLRF system has been implemented. In this contribution we discuss results of the second RF test of these new types of operation, which can in the future extend flexibility in the time beam structure of the European XFEL facility | |||

|
|||
A re-buncher with spiral arms for a heavy ion linear accelerator named as SSC-LNAC at HIRFL (the heavy ion research facility of Lanzhou) has been constructed. The re-buncher, which is used for beam longitudinal modulation and match between the RFQ and DTL, is designed to be operated in continuous wave (CW) mode at the Medium-Energy Beam-Transport (MEBT) line to maintain the beam intensity and quality. Because of the longitudinal space limitation, the re-buncher has to be very compact and will be built with four gaps. We determined the key parameters of the re-buncher cavity from the simulations using Microwave Studio software, such as the resonant frequency, the quality factor Q and the shunt impedance. The detailed design of a 53.667 MHz spiral cavity and measurement results of its prototype will be presented. | |||

The J-PARC accelerator comprises an injector linac, a 3 GeV Rapid-Cycling Synchrotron and a 50 GeV Main Ring. The J-PARC linac has been operating for users with the beam energy of 181 MeV. The energy (to 400 MeV) and current (to 50 mA) upgrade of the linac is scheduled for 1MW operation at RCS. For the current upgrade, the fabrication of a new RFQ, which is designed for 50 mA acceleration, has been started. The engineering design and the fabrication technologies were carefully chosen to reduce the discharge risk during the operation. For good vacuum pumping, vanes and ports are brazed for the direct pumping through slits at the tuners. Also, we tried a chemical polishing to improve the smoothness of the vane surface. In this paper, we present the fabrication progress of a new RFQ in J-PARC linac. | |||

The planned upgrade of the REX ISOLDE facility at CERN will boost the energy of the machine from 3 MeV/u up to 10 MeV/u with beams of mass-to-charge ratio 2.5 < A/q < 4. For this purpose, a new superconducting post accelerator based on independently phased 101.28 MHz Quarter Wave Resonators (QWR) will replace part of the normal conducting Linac. The QWRs make use of the Niobium sputtering on Copper technology which was successfully applied to LEP2, LHC and to the energy upgrade of the ALPI Linac at INFN-LNL.

TUPB048 | Discussion of the Optimisation of a Linac Lattice to Minimise Disruption by a Class of Parasitic Modes | coupling, linac, simulation, lattice | 585 |
|
|||
It is well known that each resonant mode in the RF spectrum of multi-cell accelerating cavities will split into a passband containing a number of modes, and that the coupling of these modes to the beam is dependent on the velocity of the accelerated particles. If these modes are found to degrade the quality of the beam, it is possible to take various measures to damp them, and thus keep their effect below some critical threshold. In the case of the parasitic modes within the same passband as the fundamental accelerating mode, their frequency is typically too close to that of the fundamental to allow their power to be safely extracted, and so cavity designers must rely on the natural damping of the cavity itself. This note contains a theoretical discussion of the coupling of the beam to these passband modes for a large class of accelerating cavities, and provides a mathematical model for use during the design and optimisation of linacs. | |||
TUPB052 | Studies of Parasitic Cavity Modes for Proposed ESS Linac Lattices | linac, simulation, proton, lattice | 591 |
|
|||
The European Spallation Source (ESS) planned for construction in Lund, Sweden, will be the worlds most intense source of pulsed neutrons. The neutrons will be generated by the collision of a 2.5 GeV proton beam with a heavy-metal target. The superconducting section of the proton linac is split into three different types of cavities, and a question for the lattice designers is at which points in the beamline these splits should occur. This note studies various proposed designs for the ESS lattice from the point of view of the effect on the beam dynamics of the parasitic cavity modes lying close in frequency to the fundamental accelerating mode. Each linac design is characterised by the initial kinetic energy of the beam, as well as by the velocity of the beam at each of the points at which the cavity style changes. The scale of the phase-space disruption of the proton pulse is discussed, and some general conclusions for lattice designers are stated. | |||
TUPB053 | Main Coupler Design for Project X | vacuum, radiation, linac, cryomodule | 594 |

A multi-megawatt proton/H− source, Project X, is under development at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Main element of it is a 3 GeV superconducting proton linac which includes 5 families of superconducting cavities of three frequencies: 162.5, 325 and 650 MHz. Scope of this paper is the development of power couplers for 325 and 650 MHz at FNAL. Upgraded version of the accelerator will require two types of couplers, which reliably can operate at CW power level ~25 kW at 325 MHz and ~100 kW at 650 MHz respectively. In this paper we are describing the current design of these devices. | |||

Resonance excitation of longitudinal high order modes in superconducting RF structures of Project X CW linac is studied. We analyze regimes of operation of the linac with high beam current, which can be used to provide an intense muon source for the future Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider, and also important for the Accelerator-Driven Subcritical (ADS) systems. We calculate power loss and associated heat load to the cryogenic system. Longitudinal emittance growth is estimated. We consider an alternative design of the elliptical cavity for the high energy part of linac, which is more suitable for high current operation. | |||

We have designed a 162.5 MHz β=0.09 half-wave resonator (HWR), and a copper HWR has been fabricated in January 2012. The fabrication of a Nb HWR will be completed by September 2012, and the fabrication of a slow tuner and a high power coupler for this HWR will be completed then.

In order to improve the electro-magnetic performance of the quarter wave resonator, a new-shaped cavity with an elliptical cylinder outer conductor has been proposed. This novel cavity design can provide much lower peak surface magnetic field and much higher Ra/Q0 and G. The Multipacting simulation has been done for this new QWR cavity using ACE3P/TRACK3P code, in this paper the simulation results will be presented and analyzed. | |||
TUPB057 | Structural Analysis of the New-Shaped QWR for HIAF in IMP | simulation, superconducting-cavity, SRF, controls | 606 |
|
|||
Since the QWR cavity is very successful for the operation with frequency of 48 to 160 MHz and \beta value of 0.001 to 0.2, a new-shaped QWR is being designed for the low energy superconducting section of HIAF in the Institute of Modern Physics. The cavity will work at 81.25 MHz and \beta of 0.085,with a elliptical cylinder outer conductor to better its electro-magnetic performance and keep limited accelerating space. Structural design is an important aspect of the overall cavity implementation, and in order to minimize the frequency shift of the cavity due to the helium bath pressure fluctuations, the Lorentz force and microphonic excitation, stiffening elements have to be applied. In this paper, structural analyses of the new-shaped QWR are presented and stiffening methods are explored. | |||

Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 Non-axisymmetric RF cavities can produce axially asymmetric acceleration fields. Conventional method using numerical 3-D field tracking to address this feature is time-consuming and thus not appropriate for on-line beam tuning applications. In this paper, we develop analytical treatment of non-axisymmetric RF cavities. Multipole models of cavities are derived using realistic 3-D field in both longitudinal and transverse dimensions. Then, beam dynamics formulism is established. Finally, special case of FRIB quarter-wave resonators are calculated by the model and benchmarked against 3-D field tracking to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the model. |

The multipacting could not be removed by several hours of RF conditioning. To better understand and to eliminate multipacting, physics models and CST simulations have been developed for both cavity and RF coupler. The simulations have good agreement with the multipacting discovered in coupler and cavity testing. Proposed cavity and coupler geometric optimizations are discussed in this paper. |

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. |

TUPB062 | Longitudinal Dynamic Analysis for the Project X 3-8 GeV Pulsed Linac | controls, linac, cryomodule, injection | 618 |
|
|||
The Pulsed Linac is a will require over 200 9-cell, 1300 MHz cavities packed in 26 ILC type cryomodules to accelerate 1 mA average beam current from 3GeV to 8 GeV. The architecture of the RF must optimize RF power, beam emittance, and energy gain amid a large number of requirement and constraints. The pulse length is a critical issue. Ideally, a 26 ms pulse would allow direct injection into the Fermilab’s Main Injector, bypassing the need of the Fermilab’s Recicler. High loaded quality factors (QL) are also desirable to minimize RF power. These requirements demand an accurate control of the cavity resonant frequency disturbed by Lorentz Force Detuning and microphonics. Also the LLRF control system must regulate the RF amplitude and phase within tight bounds amid a long list of dynamic disturbances. The present work describes the simulation efforts and measurements at Fermilab facilities. | |||

For such a purpose a system of eight compact (ϕext=38 mm, ϕint=19.4 mm) loop-based couplers was designed. In a first phase, only the first two (out of six) modules of the RFQ were tested at full power. Therefore only two (out of eight) couplers were used. In order to completely characterize these couplers, a dedicated test bench was prepared, consisting of a bridge waveguide and diagnostics (reflected power, vacuum, arc detectors etc.), onto which a couple of couplers was connected for transmission measurements. Each coupler was tested with a forward power of up to 140 kW. The description of the experimental setup and procedure, as well as the main results of the conditioning procedure will be reported in this paper. | |||
TUPB095 | Design of Coupler for Direct Coupled Amplifier to Drift Tube Linac Cavities of the Injector RILAC2 for RIKEN RI Beam Factory | impedance, DTL, coupling, linac | 684 |
|
|||
A new linac RILAC2 was constructed at RIKEN RI Beam Factory as an injector for very heavy ions such as uranium and xenon of a high mass to charge ratio m/q ∼ 7, but high intensity ions can be extracted from an ion source. Three drift tube linac cavities, operate in continuous wave mode at 36.5 MHz, have been designed and built. In order to reduce an installation area, and to save a construction cost, we adopted a direct coupling method for a power amplifier without using a long transmission line. A complicated design procedure was performed in order to take into account a change of resonant frequency of the cavity caused by a capacitance of a power tube used in the amplifier. A design of the coupler, as well as the cavity was performed using a three-dimensional electromagnetic calculation code, CST Microwave Studio (MWS). The measured input impedance seen from the amplifier (700 – 1100 Ω) was reproduced well by the calculation of MWS. Also, in order to examine MWS, a case of a coupling with 50 Ω were calculated. The coupling conditions obtained by MWS were compared with the measurement and a calculation with a lumped circuit model. | |||
TUPB097 | The C-band RF Pulse Compression for Soft XFEL at SINAP | coupling, simulation, klystron, free-electron-laser | 687 |
|
|||
A compact soft X-ray free electron laser facility is presently being constructed at shanghai institute of applied physics (SINAP), Chinese academy of science in 2012 and will be accomplished in 2014. This facility requires a compact linac with a high-gradient accelerating structure for a limited overall length less than 230 m. The c-band technology which is already used in KEK/Spring-8 linear accelerator is a good compromise for this compact facility and a c-and traveling-wave accelerating structure was already fabricated and tested at SINAP, so a c-band pulse compression will be required. AND a SLED type RF compression scheme is proposed for the C-band RF system of the soft XFEL and this scheme uses TE0.1.15 mode energy storage cavity for high Q-energy storage. The C-band pulse compression under development at SINAP has a high power gain about 3.1 and it is designed to compress the pulse width from 2.5 μs to 0.5 μs and multiply the input RF power of 50 MW to generate 160 MW peak RF power, and the coupling coefficient will be 8.5. It has three components: 3 dB coupler, mode convertors and the resonant cavities. | |||
TUPB099 | Input Coupler of the J-PARC DTL | coupling, DTL, vacuum, linac | 690 |
|

Each tank of J-PARC DTL has two input couplers. The coupler has a movable coupling loop with an capacitive element which increase the coupling with the tank. The loop position is the outside of the tank, where is the atmosphere. The tank vacuum is kept by the ceramic window on the wall for the coupler port. The ceramic is made of Aluminum oxide of 99.7 % purity. RF properties and the mechanical structure of the coupler were designed adequately in order to achieve the desired performance. We will report the design of the coupler in detail and the experiences for the practical operation of the DTL. | |||
TUPB100 | Recovery and Status Report of DTL/SDTL for the J-PARC After Earthquake | DTL, alignment, linac, target | 693 |
|
|||
The J-PARC facilities had big damages because of the earthquake on March 11, 2011. The J-PARC linac in the tunnel had also damages. For instance the alignment of the cavity was deformed more than 40 mm and there had been observed about 0.2 mm in horizontal direction for a few DTs in the DTL. However, as the result of the recovery work which includes the re-alignment and re-conditioning of whole cavities, we were able to restart the beam acceleration of the linac. The stability of the DTL and SDTL has returned to the state before the earthquake except for a few tanks of SDTL. In this paper, we will present the recovery works from the earthquake and the operating status of the DTL and the SDTL. | |||
TUPB101 | Beam Loss Occurred at DTL Cavity in J-PARC Linac | DTL, radiation, linac, drift-tube-linac | 696 |
|
|||
The beam operation of J-PARC linac was suspended until December 2011 due to the damage by the Tohoku earthquake in March 2011. After resumed the operations, we measured the residual radiation along with the beam line during a short interval. Because the higher residual radiation was detected at the surface of drift tube linac (DTL) cavity by radiation survey, we installed the scintillation beam loss monitors (BLM) at the points where the higher radiation was detected to understand the cause of the radiation. Even the DTL section is low energy part of the linac, fine structure of the beam loss was observed by the scintillation BLM. And we measured the beam loss occurred at the DTL with the parameters of beam orbit and cavity settings. Also, the BLM is employed for the linac tuning. In this paper, the result of the radiation measurement and beam loss signals obtained by the scintillation BLMs are presented. | |||
TUPB103 | CSNS DTL Prototyping and RF Tuning | DTL, linac, vacuum, quadrupole | 702 |
|
|||
The 324 MHz Alvarez-type Drift Tube Linac (DTL) for the China spallation neutron source will be used to accelerate the H− ion beam of up to 15 mA peak current from 3 to 80 MeV. It consists of four independent tanks, of which the average length is about 8.6 m. Each tank is divided into three short unit tanks about 2.8 m in length for easy manufacture. A full-scale prototype of the first unit tank with 28 drift tubes containing electromagnetic quadrupoles has been constructed to validate the design and to demonstrate the technology. The overall features of the prototype in both key technology and RF tuning are presented. In particular, the influence of the post couplers was studied in the ramped field DTL. | |||
TUPB107 | Amplitude and Phase Control of the Accelerating Field in the ESS Spoke Cavity | controls, feedback, beam-loading, 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. | |||

A superconducting linear accelerator system consisting of a series of independently phase locked niobium quarter wave resonators has been developed as a booster of heavy ion beams available from the existing 15UD Pelletron accelerator. Two superconducting linac booster modules having eight niobium quarter wave resonators (QWRs) each have been installed and are fully operational for regular scheduled experiments. The third module is being added to the system. A new high current injector has been planned to couple to the superconducting linac. For this a high temperature superconducting electron cyclotron resonance ion source (HTS-ECRIS) was designed, fabricated and installed successfully. A radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator is being developed for accelerating accelerate ions from the ECR (A/Q ~ 6) to an energy to of about 180 keV/A. The beams will then be accelerated further by drift tube linacs (DTL) to the required velocity to inject them to the existing superconducting linac booster. Prototypes of both these have been tested for power and thermal studies. Details of these developments and associated systems will be presented. | |||

|
|||
The High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS) 6-cavity test is a part of the Fermilab HINS Linac R&D program for a low energy, high intensity proton/H− linear accelerator. One of the objectives of the 6-cavity test is to demonstrate the use of high power RF Ferrite Vector Modulators(FVM) for independent control of multiple cavities driven by a single klystron. The beamline includes an RFQ and six cavities. The LLRF system provides a primary feedback loop around the RFQ and the distribution of the regulated klystron output is controlled by secondary learning feed-forward loops on the FVMs for each of the six cavities. The feed-forward loops provide pulse to pulse correction to the current waveform profiles of the FVM power supplies to compensate for beam-loading and other disturbances. The learning feed-forward loops are shown to successfully control the amplitude and phase settings for the cavities well within the 1 % and 1 degree requirements specified for the system. | |||

In 2010 HZB has received approval to build BERLinPro, an ERL project to demonstrate energy recovery at 100 mA beam current by pertaining a high quality beam. These goals place stringent requirements on the SRF cavity for the photoinjector which has to deliver a small emittance 100 mA beam with at least 1.5 MeV kinetic energy while limited by fundamental power coupler performance to about 200 kW forward power. In oder to achieve these goals the injector cavity is being developed in a three stage approach. The current design studies focus on implementing a normal conducting cathode insert into a newly developed superconducting photoinjector cavity. In this paper the fundamental RF design calculations concerning cell shape for optimized beam dynamics as well as SRF performance will be presented. Further studies concentrate on the HZDR based choke cell design to implement the high quantum efficiency normal conducting cathode with the SRF cavity. | |||

THPB006 | Post Acceleration of Laser-generated Proton Bunches by a CH-DTL | proton, linac, laser, DTL | 852 |
|
|||
Laser driven proton beam sources applying the TNSA process show interesting features in terms of energy and proton number per bunch. This makes them attractive as injectors into RF linacs at energies as high as 10 MeV or beyond. The combination shows attractive features like a very high particle number in a single bunch from the source and the flexibility and reliability of the rf linac to match the needs of a specified application. The approach aims on a very short matching section from the source target into the rf linac by one pulsed solenoid lens only. A crossbar H-type (CH - structure) is suggested because of its high acceleration gradient and efficiency at these beam energies. It is intended to realize the first cavity of the proposed CH - linac and to demonstrate the acceleration of a laser generated proton bunch within the LIGHT collaboration at GSI Darmstadt. Detailed beam and field simulations will be presented. | |||

The Frankfurt neutron source FRANZ will deliver neutrons in the energy range from 1 to 500 keV with high pulsed intensities. A 2 MeV proton beam will produce protons via the 7Li(p,n)7Be reaction. The 175 MHz accelerator cavity consists of a 4-rod-RFQ coupled with an 8 gap interdigital H-type drift tube section, the total cavity length being 2.3m. The combined cavity will be powered by one RF amplifier to reduce investment and operation costs. The inductive power coupler will be at the RFQ part. The coupling into the IH - section is provided through a large aperture - mainly inductively. By CST - MWS - simulations as well as by an RF - model the voltage tuning along the cavity was investigated, and with special care the balance between both cavity sections. A first set of RFQ electrodes should allow to reach beam currents up to 50 mA in cw operation: The beam is pulsed with 100 ns, 250 kHz, while the cavity has to be operated cw due to the high rep. rate.

In this paper the design of the 800 MeV linac is outlined with an emphasis on the beam dynamics design philosophy. The linac consists of a 3 MeV Front End similar to the one now under construction at RAL (the Front End Test Stand -FETS). Above 3 MeV, a 324 MHz DTL will be used to accelerate the beam up to ~75 MeV. At this stage a novel collimation system will be added to remove the halo and the far off-momentum particles. To achieve the final energy, a 648 MHz superconducting linac will be employed using three families of elliptical cavities with transition energies at ~196 MeV and ~412 MeV. | |||

To provide the primary proton beam for the FAIR anti-proton research program, a 70 MeV, 70 mA linac is currently under design & construction at GSI. The nc machine comprises an ECR source, a 3 MeV RFQ, and a DTL based on CH-cavities. Up to 36 MeV pairs of rf-coupled cavities (CCH) are used. A prototype cavity has been built and is prepared for high power rf-testing. An overview of the status as well as on the perspectives of the project is given. | |||
THPB038 | Assembly and RF Tuning of the Linac4 RFQ at CERN | rfq, quadrupole, dipole, linac | 939 |
|
|||
The fabrication of Linac4 is progressing at CERN with the goal of making a 160 MeV H− beam available to the LHC injection chain as from 2015. In the Linac4 the first stage of beam acceleration, after its extraction from the ion source, is provided by a Radiofrequency Quadrupole accelerator (RFQ), operating at the RF frequency of 352.2 MHz and which accelerates the ion beam to the energy of 3 MeV. The RFQ, made of three modules, one meter each, is of the four-vane kind, has been designed in the frame of a collaboration between CERN and CEA and has been completely machined and assembled at CERN. The paper describes the assembly of the RFQ structure and reports the results of RF low power measurements, in order to achieve the required accelerating field flatness within 1% of the nominal field profile. | |||
THPB039 | Design of a Four-Vane RFQ for China ADS Project | rfq, emittance, neutron, proton | 942 |
|
|||
A four-vane RFQ accelerator has been designed for the ADS project which has been launched in China since 2011. As one of the front ends of C-ADS LINAC, the RFQ works at a frequency of 162.5 MHz, accelerating the proton beam from 35 keV to 2.1 MeV. Due to the CW (continuous wave) operating mode, a small Kilpatric factor of 1.2 was adopted. At the same time, Pi-mode rods are employed to reduce the effect of dipole mode on quadrupole mode, and cavity tuning will be implemented by temperature adjustment of cooling water. Beam dynamics design, RF cavity design, thermal and stress analysis all will be presented in the paper. | |||
THPB040 | High-Power RF Conditioning of the TRASCO RFQ | rfq, controls, vacuum, pick-up | 945 |
|
|||
The TRASCO RFQ is designed to accelerate a 40 mA proton beam up to 5 MeV. It is a CW machine which has to show stable operation and provide the requested availability. It is composed of three electromagnetic segment coupled via two coupling cells. Each segment is divided into two 1.2 m long OFE copper modules. The RFQ is fed through eight loop-based power couplers to deliver RF to the cavity from a 352.2 MHZ, 1.3 MW klystron. After couplers conditioning, the first electromagnetic segment was successfully tested at full power. RFQ cavity reached the nominal 68 kV inter-vane voltage (1.8 Kilp.) in CW operation. Moreover, during conditioning in pulsed operation, it was possible to reach 83 kV inter-vane voltage (2.2 Kilp.) with a 1% duty cycle. The description of the experimental setup and procedure, as well as the main results of the conditioning procedure will be reported in this paper. | |||
THPB042 | Production and Quality Control of the First Modules of the IFMIF-EVEDA RFQ | survey, controls, coupling, rfq | 948 |
|
|||
The IFMIF/EVEDA RFQ, designed to accelerate a 125mA D+ beam from 0.1 MeV to 5 MeV at a frequency of 175 MHz, consists of 18 modules with length of ~550 mm each. The production of the modules has been started and 2 prototype modules plus module 16 have undergone all the production steps, including precision milling and brazing. The progress of the construction and especially the fine tuning of the design and engineering phase are reported. | |||
THPB047 | Test RFQ for the MAX Project | rfq, simulation, linac, proton | 960 |
|
|||
As a part of the MAX project it will be demonstrated by simulations and thermal measurements, that a 4-rod-RFQ is the right choice even at cw-operation. A 4-rod Test-RFQ with a resonance frequency of 175 MHz has been designed and built for the MAX-Project. But the RFQ had to be modified to solve the cooling problem at cw-operation, the geometrical precision had to be improved as well as the rf-contacts. The developments led to a new layout and a sophisticated production procedure of the stems and the electrodes. Calculations show an improved Rp-value leading to powerlosses of ca. 25 kW/m only, which is about half of the powerlosses which could be achieved safely at cw-operation of the similar Saraf-RFQ. Thermal measurements and simulations with the single components are in progress. The temperature distribution in cw-operation will be measured and the rf-performance checked. | |||
THPB062 | Multipole Field Effects for the Superconducting Parallel-Bar/RF-Dipole Deflecting/Crabbing Cavities | dipole, multipole, superconductivity, luminosity | 981 |
|
|||
The superconducting parallel-bar deflecting/crabbing cavity is currently being considered as one of the design options in rf separation for the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade and for the crabbing cavity for the proposed LHC luminosity upgrade. Knowledge of multipole field effects is important for accurate beam dynamics study of rf structures. The multipole components can be accurately determined numerically using the electromagnetic surface field data in the rf structure. This paper discusses the detailed analysis of those components for the fundamental deflecting/crabbing mode and higher order modes in the parallel-bar deflecting/crabbing cavity. | |||
THPB066 | Photoinjector SRF Cavity Development for BERLinPro | cathode, gun, HOM, emittance | 993 |
|
|||
In 2010 HZB has received approval to build BERLinPro, an ERL project to demonstrate energy recovery at 100 mA beam current by pertaining a high quality beam. These goals place stringent requirements on the SRF cavity for the photoinjector which has to deliver a small emittance 100 mA beam with at least 1.5 MeV kinetic energy while limited by fundamental power coupler performance to about 200 kW forward power. In oder to achieve these goals the injector cavity is being developed in a three stage approach. The current design studies focus on implementing a normal conducting cathode insert into a newly developed superconducting photoinjector cavity. In this paper the fundamental RF design calculations concerning cell shape for optimized beam dynamics as well as SRF performance will be presented. Further studies concentrate on the HZDR based choke cell design to implement the high quantum efficiency normal conducting cathode with the SRF cavity. | |||
THPB069 | Beam Dynamics Studies for SRF Photoinjectors | emittance, gun, SRF, booster | 999 |

The SRF photoinjector combines the advantages of photo-assisted production of high brightness, short electron pulses and high gradient, low-loss continuous wave (CW) operation of a superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavity. The paper discusses beam dynamics considerations for FEL and ERL class applications of SRF photoinjectors. One case of particular interest is the design of the SRF photoinjector for BERLinPro, an ERL test facility demanding a high brightness beam with an emittance better than 1 mm mrad at 77 pC and average current of 100 mA. | |||

An S-band photocathode electron gun designed to operate at repetition rates up to 1 kHz CW has been designed at Diamond and manufactured at FMB*. The first test results of this gun are presented. Low-power RF measurements have been carried out to verify the RF design of the gun, and high-power conditioning and RF test has begun. Initial high power tests have been carried out at 5 Hz repetition rate using the S-band RF plant normally used to power the Diamond linac: the benefits and limitations of this approach are considered, together with plans for further testing.

THPB084 | A Low-Level RF Control System for a Quarter-Wave Resonator | controls, LLRF, resonance, ion | 1020 |
|
|||
A low-level rf control system was designed and built for an rf deflector, which is a quarter wave resonator and was designed to deflect a secondary electron beam to measure the bunch length of an ion beam. The deflector has a resonance frequency at near 88 MHz, and its required phase stability is approximately ±1° and amplitude stability less than ±1%. The control system consists of analog input and output components, and a digital system based on an FPGA for signal processing. It is a cost effective system, while meeting the stability requirements. Some basic properties of the control system were measured. Then the capability of the rf control has been tested using a mechanical vibrator made of a dielectric rod attached to an audio speaker system, which can induce regulated perturbation in the electric fields of the resonator. The control system is flexible such that its parameters can be easily configured to compensate for disturbance induced in the resonator. | |||
THPB085 | LLRF Automation for the 9mA ILC Tests at FLASH | controls, feedback, cryomodule, beam-loading | 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. | |||
THPB086 | Precision Regulation of RF Fields with MIMO Controllers and Cavity-based Notch Filters | controls, LLRF, resonance, feedback | 1026 |
|
|||
The European XFEL requires a high precision control of the electron beam, generating a specific pulsed laser light demanded by user experiments. The low level radio frequency (LLRF) control system is certainly one of the key players for the regulation of accelerating RF fields. A uTCA standard LLRF system was developed and is currently under test at DESY. Its first experimental results showed the system performance capabilities. Investigation of regulation limiting factors evidenced the need for control over fundamental cavity modes, which is done using complex controller structures and filter techniques. The improvement in measurement accuracy and detection bandwidth increased the regulation performance and contributed to integration of further control subsystems. | |||
THPB096 | High-power Sources of RF Radiation Driven by Periodic Laser Pulses | laser, electron, radiation, klystron | 1044 |
|
|||
Funding: Supported in part by DoE USA. A fast, periodic modulation of electron RF sources can be carried out in a form of Q-factor switching by means of fast RF switches, or in a form of I-switching by means of the bunched electron beam. If modulation frequency equals to time which is necessary for RF radiation to travel along the cavity and to come back, the RF oscillator can produce periodic, giant, short pulses which are desirable for many applications in order to avoid a breakdown. The produced RF pulses are phase and frequency locked by modulation shape. The mentioned effects of the phase and frequency locking remain also possible for RF sources operated in a single-mode regime. In last case the modulation frequency should be close to natural single-mode oscillation frequency. For example, one might control operation of a BWO by means of a small periodical modulation of the electron voltage in a drift section in-between a cathode and the corrugated interaction section. The necessary voltage modulation can be provided by means of a DC generator those voltage due to a photoconductivity is externally modulated with definite frequency by laser which irradiates GaAs isolator inserted in-between the electrodes. |
