MOPP049 | Dipole Kick due to Geometry Asymmetries in HWR for PXIE | 165 |

Funding: Work supported by D.O.E. Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE) will have a family of half wave resonators having frequency=162.5 MHz and beta optimal=0.11. During cavity production, when the niobium parts are assembled and welded together, it is fundamental to control the frequency of the accelerating mode in order to meet the specified operating value. For the HWR of PXIE the tuning will be achieved by trimming one end of the resonator only, this will introduce unwanted asymmetry in the cavity geometry leading to a dipole kick for the particles traveling through the cavity. The cavity geometry will be different from the ideal, once the cavity is assembled, because of small misalignment of the niobium parts and because of the welding shrinkage. Misalignments of the inner conductor and the beam pipes can be expected. The asymmetry due to tuning process along with production misalignments, have been simulated and the equivalent dipole kick has been calculated. |

Funding: Work supported by D.O.E. Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 Project X Injector Experiment radio frequency quadrupole has recently been built for Fermilab by Berkley laboratory. This RFQ will be placed after the low energy beam transport (LEBT) and before the medium energy beam transport (MEBT). The RFQ will operate at 162.5 MHz in CW regime; its function is to accelerate and focus particles coming from the LEBT at 30 keV, and to deliver a beam at 2.1 MeV to the MEBT. In order to make sure that the RFQ meets the specifications of field flatness and frequency the field in the vanes should be measured using bead pull technique. FNAL created a new single wire bead pull set up for the RFQ of PXIE. The measurements are used to find the electrical center of the structure, then the amplitude of the electromagnetic field in all the sectors of the RFQ; and the tuning will be based on these measurements. This paper describes the bead pull experimental set up, the software developed for this particular application and the measurements taken. |

Fermilab is currently building the Project X Injector experiment (PXIE). The PXIE linac will accelerate a 1 mA H− beam up to 30 MeV and serve as a testbed for validation of Project X concepts and mitigation of technical risks. A cryomodule of eight superconducting RF Single Spoke Resonators of type 1 (SSR1) cavities operating at 325 MHz is an integral part of PXIE. Ten SSR1 cavities were manufactured in industry and delivered to Fermilab. We discuss tests of nine bare SSR1 cavities at the Fermilab Vertical Test Stand (VTS). Recently, one of the SSR1 cavities was welded inside a helium jacket. Results of the test of this cavity in the Fermilab Spoke Test Cryostat (STC) are shown. We report on the measured performance parameters of SSR1 cavities achieved during the tests. | ||
