The first pair of superconducting niobium half-wave resonators operating at 162.5 MHz for the FNAL PIP-II project are complete and this poster reports the cold test results. These cavities are optimized to accelerate protons/H− from 2 to 10 MeV and build upon optimized electromagnetic designs and processing techniques developed at Argonne for the Intensity Upgrade of the ATLAS superconducting heavy ion accelerator. |

The Argonne National Laboratory ATLAS accelerator’s Intensity and Efficiency Upgrade project has been successfully finished [1]. This upgrade substantially increases beam currents for experimenters working with the existing stable and in-flight rare isotope beams and for the neutron rich beams from the Californium Rare Isotope Breeder upgrade. A major portion of this project involved the replacement of three existing cryomodules, containing 18 superconducting (SC) accelerator cavities and 9 superconducting solenoids, with a single cryomodule containing 7 SC 72.75 MHz accelerator cavities optimized for ion velocities of 7.7% the speed of light and 4 SC solenoids all operating at 4.5 K. This paper reports the measured thermal load to the 4 K and 80 K coolant streams and compares these results to the pre-upgrade cryogenic system. |

TUPP002 | Commissioning of the 72 MHz Quarter-Wave Cavity Cryomodule at ATLAS | 440 |

Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics, under contract number DE-AC02-06CH11357. A cryomodule of seven 72 MHz SC quarter-wave cavities optimized for ions with v/c=0.077 has been commissioned in the ATLAS heavy-ion accelerator at Argonne. ATLAS has a new capability for increased beam currents with low beam losses for nuclear physics experiments using stable or rare isotope beams or neutron rich beams from the Californium Rare Isotope Breeder. The main goal for the cryomodule, to provide an accelerating voltage of 17.5 MV (2.5 MV/cavity), with no detectable beam losses has been met within the first month of commissioning. Thus far, cavities and primary subsystems including high-power couplers and pneumatic tuners are operating as designed with full availability. For present levels there is practically no field emission (EPEAK=40 MV/m) and RF losses of ~5 Watts/cavity are only half of that planned. Cavity fields will continue to be gradually increased, with the limits due to cavity quench measured at VACC=3.75 MV. Due to a combination of rf design and cavity processing, effective voltages are now 2 ½ times those for any other operational cavities for this v/c. We report here on the recent online test results and technical features of the present design. |

The ANL Physics Division has completed a major upgrade of the ATLAS National User Facility by successfully installing a new RFQ and cryomodule. The new normal conducting CW RFQ capable of providing 295 keV/u beams of any ion with m/q ≤7 from protons to uranium was fully integrated into ATLAS and has been in routine operation for more than a year. The RFQ doubled the efficiency of beam delivery to targets and opened the possibility to accelerate much higher intensity beams. Recently, the new cryomodule containing 7 high-performance 72.75 MHz superconducting quarter-wave resonators and 4 superconducting solenoids was successfully commissioned with beam. New design and fabrication techniques for these resonators resulted in record high voltages which were achieved during the beam commissioning. The new cryomodule provides 17.5 MV accelerating voltage which will be gradually raised by increasing the input RF power and improving LLRF system. The new cryomodule, which replaced 3 old cryomodules that used split-ring cavities, is also essential for high intensity stable beams. Results of beam commissioning and operation of ATLAS with the new RFQ and cryomodule will be presented. |
