Funding: NSF Grant DMR-0807731 The 1.3 GHz 7-cell SRF cavity for the Cornell ERL main linac is optimized for high beam current ERL operation with injected CW beam currents of 100 mA. Beam stability at 100 mA requires very strong damping of the Higher-Order-Modes (HOM) in the cavity by HOM beamline absorbers at the ends of the cavity. To verify the optimized design of the cavity and the HOM damping scheme, a prototype 7-cell main linac cavity was installed into the Cornell Horizontal Test Cryomodule (HTC), and inserted into the beamline of the Cornell ERL high current photo-injector. A beam-based method was then used to search for the presence of dangerous HOMs. Individual HOMs were excited using a charge-modulated beam, after which their effect upon an unmodulated beam was observed using a BPM. Data collected was used to calculate loaded Q of observed HOMs. Results show that it is very unlikely that HOMs will cause BBU in the Cornell ERL. In addition, measurements of the temperature rise of the HOM absorber rings during high current CW beam tests were consistent with simulations, indicating that the optimized main linac cavity is capable of operating at the specified current of 100mA in an ERL configuration. |

THPP060 | Effect of Cavity Couplers Field on the Beam Dynamics of the LCLS-II Injector | 989 |

LCLS-II is a new light source based on a continuous wave (cw) superconducting linac to be built at SLAC. The Injector section of the linac creates the elecron beam and accelerates it up to about 100 MeV. The couplers of the accelerating cavities produce an asymmetric field resulting in a beam offset and, most importantly, in a significant transverse emittance dilution, if not compensated. In this paper we describe the simulations of the LCLS-II injector taking into account the cavity couplers effect and some mitigation techniques to reduce its impact on the beam quality. | ||
