MOYBB4 | Large-Scale Dewar Testing of FRIB Production Cavities: Statistical Analysis | cavity, SRF, multipactoring, linac | 41 |
|
|||
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) requires a driver linac with 324 superconducting cavities to deliver ion beams at 200 MeV per nucleon. About 1/3 of the cavities are quarter-wave resonators (QWRs, 805. MHz); the rest are half-wave resonators (HWRs, 322 MHz). FRIB cavity production is nearly complete, with more than 90% of the required cavities certified for installation into cryomodules (as of May 2019). We have accumulated a large data set on performance of production QWRs and HWRs during Dewar certificating testing of jacketed cavities. In this paper, we will report on the data analysis, including statistics on the BCS resistance, residual resistance, energy gap, and Q-slope. Additionally, we will discuss performance limitations and conditioning (multipacting, field emission). | |||

MOZBA1 | LCLS-II SC Linac: Challenges and Status | cavity, SRF, linac, FEL | 51 |
|
|||
Funding: ∗ This work was supported by the US Department of Energy (DOE) under contract DE-AC02-76SF00515 The Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II) project requires the assembly, test, and installation of 37 cry-omodules (CM) in order to deliver a 4 GeV CW electron beam to the FEL undulators for production of both hard and soft X-ray pulses at a repetition rate of up to 1 MHz. All of the cryomodules will operation in continuous wave mode, with 35 operating at 1.3 GHz for acceleration and 2 operating at 3.9 GHz to linearize the longitudinal beam profile. The assembly and testing of the 1.3 GHz cry-omodules is nearing completion and the 3.9 GHz cry-omodules work is entering to assembly and testing phase. Roughly 60% of the cryomodules have been shipped to SLAC for installation in the accelerator enclosure. The status and challenges of these efforts will be reported in this paper. |

MOPLO17 | Large-Scale Dewar Testing of FRIB Production Cavities: Results | cavity, SRF, MMI, linac | 270 |
|
|||
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), under construction at Michigan State University (MSU), includes a superconducting driver linac to deliver ion beams at 200 MeV per nucleon. The driver linac requires 104 quarter-wave resonators (QWRs, β = 0.041 and 0.085) and 220 half-wave resonators (HWRs, β = 0.29 and 0.54). The jacketed resonators are Dewar tested at MSU before installation into cryomodules. The cryomodules for β = 0.041, 0.085, and 0.29 have been completed and certified; 89% of the β = 0.54 HWRs have been certified (as of May 2019). The Dewar certification tests have provided valuable information on the performance of production QWRs and HWRs at 4.3 K and 2 K and on performance limits. Results will be presented. | |||

MOPLO19 | Test Results of PIP2IT MEBT Vacuum Protection System | vacuum, cavity, MEBT, SRF | 278 |
|
|||
Funding: This manuscript has been authored by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics The central part of PIP-II program of upgrades proposed for the Fermilab injection complex is an 800 MeV, 2 mA, CW-compatible SRF linac. Acceleration in superconducting cavities begins from a low energy of 2.1 MeV, so that the first cryomodule, Half Wave Resonator (HWR) borders the warm Medium Beam Transport (MEBT) line. To minimize the amount of gas that may enter the SRF linac in a case if a vacuum failure occurs in the warm front end, a vacuum protection system is envisioned to be used in the PIP-II MEBT. It features a fast closing valve with two sensors and a differential pumping insert. The system prototype is installed in the PIP-II Injector Test (PIP2IT) accelerator and recently is successfully tested in several modes modelling the vacuum failures. The report presents the design of the vacuum protection system and results of its tests. |

WEZBA2 | Experience and Lessons in FRIB Superconducting Quarter-Wave Resonator Commissioning | cavity, MMI, linac, controls | 646 |
|
|||
The superconducting (SC) linear accelerator (linac) for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) has one quarter-wave resonator (QWR) segment and two half-wave resonator (HWR) segments. The first linac segment (LS1) contains twelve β = 0.041 and ninety-two β = 0.085 QWRs operating at 80.5 MHz, and thirty-nine SC solenoids. Superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) commissioning and beam commissioning of LS1 was completed in April 2019. The design accelerating gradients (5.1 MV/m for β = 0.041 and 5.6 MV/m for β = 0.085) were achieved in all cavities with no multipacting or field emission issues. The cavity field met the design goals: peak-to-peak stability of ±1% in amplitude and ±1° in phase. We achieved 20.3 MeV/u ion beams of Ar, Kr, Ne, and Xe with LS1. In this paper, we will discuss lessons learned from the SRF commissioning of the cryomodules and methods developed for efficient testing, conditioning, and commissioning of more than 100 SC cavities, each with its own independent RF system. | |||

WEZBA3 | No Beam-Loss Quadrupole Scan for Transverse Phase Space Measurements | quadrupole, linac, emittance, beam-losses | 650 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661, the State of Michigan and Michigan State University. Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University is based on a high power heavy ion linac and beam commissioning is under way. For evaluation of beam Twiss parameters and rms emittance, we routinely use multiple profile measurements while the strength of an upstream quadrupole is varied. The change of the quadrupole strength results in a beam mismatch downstream of the profile monitor which can cause beam losses. This is not acceptable in a high energy beamline. To avoid this transverse mismatch, we developed a beam matching procedure by optimization of quadrupoles’ setting downstream of the profile monitor. Using this procedure we were able to eliminate beam losses during the quadrupole scan, and evaluate beam Twiss parameters and rms emittance. Examples of using this procedure in the folding segment of the FRIB linac will be reported. |

WEPLM03 | The LLRF Control Design and Validation at FRIB | LLRF, controls, cavity, MMI | 667 |
|
|||
Funding: This work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661. One of the challenges in designing the low level radio frequency (LLRF) controllers for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is the various types of cavities, which include 5 different frequencies ranging from 40.25 MHz up to 322 MHz, and 4 different types of tuners. In this paper, the design strategy taken to achieve flexibility and low cost and the choices made to accommodate the varieties will be discussed. The approach also allowed easy adaptation to major design changes such as replac-ing two cryo-modules with two newly designed room temperature bunchers and the addition of high-voltage bias to suppress multi-pacting in half wave resonators (HWRs). With the successful completion of the third accelerator readiness review (ARR03) commissioning in early 2019, most of the design has been validated in the real accelerator system, leaving only HWRs which are constantly undergoing tests in cryo-module bunker. The integrated spark detector design for HWRs will also be tested in the near future. |

WEPLM52 | Recent Developments of Nb3Sn at Jefferson Lab for SRF Accelerator Application | cavity, SRF, accelerating-gradient, factory | 713 |
|
|||
Funding: U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics. The desire to reduce the construction and operating costs of future SRF accelerators motivates the search for alternative, higher-performing materials. Nb3Sn (Tc ~ 18.3 K and Hsh ~ 425 mT) is the front runner. However, tests of early Nb3Sn-coated cavities encountered strong Q-slopes limiting the performance. Learnings from studies of coated materials related to cavity performance prompted significant changes to the coating process. It is now possible to routinely produce slope-free single-cell cavities having Q0 ≥ 2×1010 at 4 K and > 4×1010 at 2 K up to the accelerating gradient in excess of 15 MV/m at its best. Obtaining similar results in five-cell cavities is a current goal to test them under an accelerator environment. This contribution discusses recent developments at Jefferson Lab. |

WEPLM66 | Microphonics Studies at STC in Fermilab | cavity, resonance, ion-source, controls | 743 |
|

The spoke test cryostat is used to qualify the 325 MHz single spoke resonators at Fermilab (FNAL). During these tests a large detuning on the cavity was observed. The data acquisition for continuous captures were based on measurements from the piezoelectric actuators. A com-parison of the cavity vibrations measured with RF signal from the cavity and piezoelectric actuator signals are shown. The effects of microphonics on the cavity are discussed. | |||

WEPLM70 | FRIB Tuner Performance and Improvement | cavity, linac, controls, MMI | 755 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is under construction at Michigan State University (MSU). The FRIB superconducting driver linac will accelerate ion beams to 200 MeV per nucleon. The driver linac requires 104 quarter-wave resonators (QWRs, β = 0.041 and 0.085) and 220 half-wave resonators (HWRs, β = 0.29 and 0.54). The cryomodules for β = 0.041, 0.085, and 0.29 have been completed and certified; 32 out of 49 cryomodules are certified via bunker test (as of March 2019). FRIB QWR cavities have a demountable niobium tuning plate which uses a warm external stepper motor and the FRIB HWR cavities use pneumatic actuated bellows. Progress on the preparation and performance of the tuners is presented in this paper along with improvements made to ensure meeting frequency specification. |

WEPLM71 | Thermal Performance of FRIB Cryomodules | cryogenics, cavity, solenoid, operation | 759 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 and the National Science Foundation under Cooperative Agreement PHY-1102511. Now SRF cavity development is advancing high-Q/high gradient by nitrogen doping, infusion, or the new low temperature bake recipe. Once cavity dynamic loss is reduced, the static heat load of the cryomodule will be of concern from the cryogenic plant capability point of view. FRIB gives us a good chance to statistically compare the cryogenic plant design and the measured results, along with a thought for future updated cryomodule design using a low/medium beta cryomodule. FRIB cryomodules have two cooling lines: 4.5 K for solenoids and 2K for cavities. The boil-off liquid helium method was used to measure the cryomodule’s heat load. So far, FRIB has completed certification testing (bunker tests) on 39 of 49 cryomodules (80%). This paper reports the static heat load measurement results, which are important for future FRIB upgrades to estimate remaining cryogenic capability. The cryomodule’s evolution related to heat load is introduced too. |

WEPLM73 | Bunker Testing of FRIB Cryomodules | cavity, solenoid, SRF, dipole | 765 |
|
|||
The FRIB superconducting driver Linac requires 104 quarter-wave resonators (QWRs, β = 0.041, 0.085), 220 half-wave resonators (HWRs, β = 0.29, 0.53), and 74 superconducting solenoid packages. Resonators and solenoids are assembled into cryomodules; 4 accelerating and 2 matching cryomodule types are required. Each cryomodule undergoes cryogenic and RF testing in a bunker prior to installation in the tunnel. The cryomodule test verifies operation of the cavities, couplers, tuners, solenoid packages, magnetic shield, and thermal shield at 4.3 K and 2 K. All of the required cryomodules for β = 0.041, 0.085, and 0.29 have been tested and certified. As of May 2019, five of the β = 0.53 cryomodules have been certified; the remaining modules are being assembled or are in the queue for testing. Cryomodule test results will be presented, including cavity performance (accelerating gradient, field emission X-rays, multipacting conditioning); solenoid package operation (current, current-lead cooling flow rate); and cryomodule heat load (static and dynamic). | |||

WEPLH09 | FRIB Driver Linac Integration to be ready for Phased Beam Commissioning | MMI, SRF, cavity, linac | 823 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 The driver linac for Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will accelerate all stable ion beams from proton to uranium beyond 200 MeV/u with beam powers up to 400 kW. The linac now consists of 104 superconducting quarter-wave resonators (QWR), which is the world largest number of low-beta SRF cavities operating at an accelerator facility. The first 3 QWR cryomodules (CM) (β = 0.041) were successfully integrated with cryogenics and other support systems for the 2nd Accelerator Readiness Review (ARR). The 3rd ARR scope that includes 11 QWR CM (β=0.085) and 1 QWR matching CM (β=0.085) was commissioned on schedule by January 2019, and then we met the Key Performance Parameters (KPP), accelerating Ar and Kr > 16 MeV/u at this stage, in a week upon the ARR authorization. We examine a variety of key factors to the successful commissioning, such as component testing prior to system integration, assessment steps of system/device readiness, and phased commissioning. This paper also reports on the integration process of the β=0.085 CMs including the test results, and the current progress on β=0.29 and 0.53 CMs in preparation for the upcoming 4th ARR. |

WEPLE04 | Recent Developments and Applications of Parallel Multi-Physics Accelerator Modeling Suite ACE3P | simulation, cavity, dipole, GUI | 888 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was supported by DOE Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515. SLAC’s ACE3P code suite is developed to harness the power of massively parallel computers to tackle large complex problems with increased memory and solve them at greater speed. ACE3P parallel multi-physics codes are based on higher-order finite elements for superior geometry fidelity and better solution accuracy. ACE3P consists of an integrated set of electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical solvers for accelerator modeling and virtual prototyping. The use of ACE3P has contributed to the design and optimization of existing and future accelerator projects around the world. Multi-physics analysis on high performance computing (HPC) platform enables thermal-mechanical simulations of largescale systems such as the LCLS-II cryomodule. Recently, new capabilities have been added to ACE3P including a nonlinear eigenvalue solver for calculating mode damping, a moving window for pulse propagation in the time domain to reduce computational cost, thin layer coating representation using a surface impedance model, and improved boundary conditions using perfectly matched layers (PML) to terminate wave propagation. These new developments are presented in this paper. |

Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661, the State of Michigan and Michigan State University. The beam commissioning of linac segment 1 (LS1) composed of fifteen cryomodules consisting of total 104 superconducting (SC) resonators and 36 SC solenoids was successfully completed. Four ion beam species, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe were successfully accelerated up to 20.3 MeV/u. The FRIB driver linac in its current configuration became the highest energy continuous wave hadron linac. We will report a detailed study of beam dynamics in the LS1 prior to and after stripping with a carbon foil. |
