MOPOB60 | Performance of the Cornell Main Linac Prototype Cryomodule for the CBETA Project | 204 |
|
||
The main linac prototype cryomodule (MLC) is a key component for the Cornell-BNL ERL Test Accelerator (CBETA), which is a 4-turn FFAG ERL under construction at Cornell University. The MLC has been designed for high current and efficient continuous wave (CW) SRF cavity operation, and houses six high Q0 7-cell SRF cavities with individual beamline higher order-modes (HOMs) absorbers for strong HOM suppression in high beam current operation. Cavities have achieved specification values of 16.2MV/m with high Q0 of 2.0·1010 at 1.8K in CW operation after cooldown optimizations and RF processing. Damping of the HOMs has been measured in detail, indicating that the loaded quality-factors of all critical modes are low enough to avoid BBU in high current, multi-turn ERL operation. Microphonics measurements have been carried out as well, and vibration sources have been determined and eliminated. Here we report on these cryomodule performance studies. | ||

MOPOB61 | Updates of Vertical Electropolishing Studies at Cornell with KEK and Marui Galvanizing Co. Ltd . | 208 |
|
||
Cornell, KEK, and Marui Galvanizing Co. Ltd (MGI) have started new Vertical Electro-Polishing (VEP) R&D collaboration in 2014. MGI and KEK has developed their original VEP cathode named 'i-cathode Ninja'® which has four retractable wing-shape parts per cell for single-/9-cell cavities. One single cell cavity had processed with VEP using i-cathode Ninja at Cornell. Cornell also performed the vertical test on that cavity. We will present the details of process and RF test result at Cornell. | ||

MOPOB62 | SRF Half Wave Resonator Activities at Cornell for the RAON Project | 211 |
|
||
The RAON heavy-ion accelerator requires ninety-eight 162.5MHz Half-Wave-Resonators (HWR) with a geometrical β=0.12. Cornell University will test a prototype HWR as well as develop a frequency tuner for this cavity. In this paper we report on the progress in designing, fabricating, and commissioning of new HWR preparation and testing infrastructure at Cornell. The HWR infrastructure work includes new input and pick-up couplers, a modified vertical test insert with a 162.5MHz RF system, a new High-Pressure-Water-Rinsing (HPR) setup, and a modified chemical etching system. | ||

MOPOB63 | Impact of Cooldown Procedure and Ambient Magnetic Field on the Quality Factor of State-of-the-Art Nb3Sn Single-Cell ILC Cavities | 215 |
|
||
Funding: DOE Single-cell Nb3Sn cavities coated at Cornell University have demonstrated quality factors of 1010 at 16 MV/m and 4.2 K in vertical tests, achieving the performance requirements of contemporary modern accelerator designs. In this paper, we present results demonstrating the impact of the cooldown procedure and ambient magnetic fields on the cavity's ability to achieve these quality factors and accelerating gradients. The impact of the magnetic fields from thermoelectric currents, generated by thermal gradients across the cavity during cooldown, are shown to be equivalent to the impact of magnetic fields trapped from ambient sources. Furthermore, the increase in the residual surface resistance due to trapped magnetic flux, from both ambient sources and thermoelectric currents, is found to be a function of the applied RF magnetic field amplitude. A hypothesis for this observation is given, and conclusions are drawn regarding the demands on the cooldown procedure and ambient magnetic fields necessary to achieve quality factors of 1010 at 4.2 K and 16 MV/m or higher. |

MOPOB65 | Investigation of the Origin of the Anti-Q-Slope | 218 |
|
||
The surface resistance of a superconductor, a property very relevant to SRF accelerators, has long been known to depend on the strength of the surface magnetic field. A recent discovery showed that, for certain surface treatments, microwave cavities can be shown to have an inverse field dependence, dubbed the ‘‘anti-Q-slope'', in which the surface resistance decreases over an increasing field. Here we present an investigation into what causes the anti-Q-slope in nitrogen-doped niobium cavities, drawing a direct connection between the electron mean free path of the SRF material and the magnitude of the anti-Q-slope. Further, we incorporate residual resistance due to flux trapping to calculate an optimal mean free path for a given trapped flux. | ||
