  When optimizing the shape of high-gradient accelerating cells, the goal has traditionally been to minimize the peak surface electric field / gradient, or more recently minimizing the peak modified Poynting vector / gradient squared. This paper presents a method for directly comparing these quan- tities, as well as the power flow per circumference / gradient squared. The method works by comparing the maximum tolerable gradient at a fixed pulse length and breakdown rate that can be expected from the different constraints. The paper also presents a set of 120° phase-advance cells for traveling wave structures, which were designed for the new CLIC main linac accelerating structure, and which are optimized according to these criteria.

FRIB driver linac will deliver heavy ion beams with beam energy above 200 MeV/u, and beam power on target up to 400 kW. Commissioning, tuning, and beam power ramping up of the world’s first SRF linac for high-power heavy-ion beams will be challenge, and developments of necessary physics application software tools are very important. In this paper, our major progress and the development plan of physics application software for the FRIB linac within Open XAL frameworks are discussed, which include the FRIB linac online model, MySQL database for physics applications, virtual accelerator application, and several other pilot physics applications. Deploying and initial testing of Open XAL and those pilot applications for FRIB are currently ongoing for a new cryomodule at Michigan State University.

The cryogenic C-band photocathode RF gun operating at 20K is under development at LEBRA in Nihon University. The RF gun is of the BNL-type 2.6-cell pillbox cavity with the resonant frequency of 5712 MHz. The 6N8 high purity OFC copper is used as the cavity material. From the theoretical evaluation of the anomalous skin effect, the quality factor Q of the cavity has been expected to be about 60000. Considering a low cooling capacity of the cryocooler system, initial operation of the RF gun is assumed at a duty factor of 0.01 %. The cavity basic design and the beam bunching simulation were carried out using SUPERFISH and General Particle Tracer (GPT). Machining of the cavity was carried out in KEK. The RF characteristics measured at room temperature and 20K will be reported.
