MOPP066	High Gradient CH-Type Cavity Development for 10 – 100 AMeV Beams	cavity, linac, quadrupole, ion	208
	A. Almomani, U. Ratzinger IAP, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
	Funding: This work is supported by Federal Ministry of Education and Research - BMBF No. 05P12RFRB9. The development in pulsed linac activities aims on compact designs and on an increase of the voltage gain per meter. At IAP - Frankfurt, a CH design was developed for these studies, where the mean effective accelerating field is expected to reach well above 10 MV/m at 325 MHz, β=0.164. Within a funded project, this cavity is systematically developed. Currently, the cavity is under construction at NTG GmbH and expected to be ready for copper plating in autumn 2014. The results should give an impact on the rebuilt of the UNILAC - Alvarez section, optimized for achieving the beam intensities specified for the GSI – FAIR project. A mid- and long- term aim is a compact pulsed high current linac. The new GSI 3 MW Thales klystron test stand will be very important for these investigations. Detailed studies on two different types of copper plating can be performed on this cavity. Additionally, operating of normal conducting cavities at cryogenic temperatures will be discussed. In this work, the cavity status will be presented.

	New tetrode based amplifiers have been constructed for the RIKEN heavy-ion linac, so called RILAC[1], replacing 36-year-old amplifiers to improve their reliability as a main injector for the RIBF accelerator complex. The RILAC is a DC machine and their frequency are tunable between 18 to 40 MHz so as to be capable of accelerating heavy ions with mass-to-charge (m/q) ratios up to 28. The new rf amplifier is based on a tetrode THALES/SIEMENS RS2042SK coupled with a tetrode THALES/SIEMENS RS2012CJ with a grounded grid circuit. The maximum output power is 100 kW with a frequency ranging from 18 to 40 MHz. The amplifier was originally designed for RIKEN Ring Cyclotron. Since we have many experiences with this type of amplifier, some modification to avoid exciting the parasitic modes which might damage the cavity and/or the amplifier itself. Their construction started in April 2013 and installation was performed in January 2014. After the installation their commissioning has been successfully made. For a beam service started in this March the new amplifiers were operated without any troubles. [1]M. Odera et al., Nucl. Instrum. and Methods, 227, 187(1984).

	Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357 The proposed eXtreme MATerial (XMAT) research facility at ANL’s Advanced Photon Source (APS) combines medium-energy heavy-ion accelerator capability with the high-energy X-ray analysis to enable rapid in situ mesoscale bulk analysis of ion radiation damage in advanced materials and nuclear fuels. The XMAT facility requires CW heavy ion accelerator with adjustable beam energy in the range of 300 keV/u to 1.25 MeV/u. Such an accelerator has been developed and based on ECR, normal conducting RFQ and multi-gap quarter wave resonators (QWR) operating at 60 MHz. This talk will present complete 3D beam dynamics studies and multi-physics design of both RFQ and QWRs. The design includes a beam transport system capable to focus ions into 20-micron diameter spot on the target.

	Funding: Work supported by GSI, BMBF Contr. No. 06FY7102 At the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP), Frankfurt University, a superconducting 325 MHz CH-Cavity has been designed, built and first tests have successfully been performed. The cavity is determined for a 11.4 AMeV, 10 mA ion beam at the GSI UNILAC. Consisting of 7 gaps this resonator is envisaged to deliver a gradient of 5 MV/m. Novel features of this structure are a compact design, low peak fields, improved surface processing and power coupling. Furthermore a tuner system based on bellow tuners driven by a stepping motor and a piezo actuator and attached inside the resonator will control the frequency. In this contribution measurements executed at 4 K and 2 K at the cryo lab in Frankfurt will be presented.
