THPRC011 | Single LLRF for Multi-Harmonic Buncher | controls, LLRF, experiment, radio-frequency | 789 |

Funding: Work supported by Michigan State University, National Science Foundation: NSF Award Number PHY-1102511. In this paper, a unique low level radio frequency (LLRF) controller designed for a multi-harmonic buncher (MHB) is presented. Different than conventional designs, the single LLRF output contains three RF frequencies (f1, f2 = 2*f1, f3 = 3*f1) and is fed to a wide band amplifier driving the MHB. The challenge is while driving f1, due to the non-linearity of the amplifier, the f2 and f3 terms will also be generated and will couple into the control of these two modes. Hence an active cancellation algorithm is used to suppress the nonlinear effect of the amplifier. It is demonstrated in a test that the designed LLRF is able to control the amplitude and phase of the three modes in-dependently. |

THPLR033 | R&D Status of the New Superconducting CW Heavy Ion LINAC@GSI | cavity, linac, ion, heavy-ion | 923 |
|

For future research in the field of Super Heavy Elements (SHE) a superconducting (sc) continuous wave (cw) ion LINAC with high intensity is highly desirable. Presently a multi-stage R&D program conducted by GSI, HIM and IAP[*] is in progress. The fundamental linac design composes a high performance ion source, a new low energy beam transport line, the High Charge State Injector (HLI) upgraded for cw, and a matching line (1.4 MeV/u) followed by the new sc-DTL LINAC for acceleration up to 7.3 MeV/u. The successful commissioning of the first Crossbar-H-mode (CH) cavity (Demonstrator), in a vertical cryo module, was a major milestone in 2015[**]. The next stage of the new sc cw heavy ion LINAC is the advanced demonstrator comprising a string of cavities and focusing elements build from several short constant-beta sc CH-cavities operated at 217MHz. Currently the first two sc 8 gap CH-cavities are under construction at Research Instruments (RI), Bergisch Gladbach, Germany. The new design without girders and with stiffening brackets at the front and end cap potentially reduces the overall technical risks during the construction phase and the pressure sensitivity of the cavity. The recent status of the construction phase as well as an outlook for further cavity development of the new cw heavy ion LINAC will be presented.

THPLR069 | Quality Factor Measurement Method Using Multi Decay Time Constants on Cavity | cavity, superconducting-cavity, coupling, cryomodule | 1011 |
|
|||
Quality factor measurement method using multi decay time constants on superconducting cavity is suggested. In most cases of vertical test, one decay time constant is measured around critical coupling and coupling constants are measured using forward and reflected rf power to get intrinsic quality factor. We use multi decay time constants method to measure the quality factor, which uses three decay time constants. Two more switches before and after the cavity are added to the measurement system. Decay time constants are measured by switching off the rf power switch in front of rf source, the forward power switch in front of input power coupler, and then the pickup power switch behind the pickup coupler, respectively, at the same power of steady state. | |||
