Funding: Work performed under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH1-886 with the U. S. Department of Energy. An R&D facility for an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) intended as part of the 'Electron-Cooling Xperiment' for RHIC is being constructed at this laboratory. The center piece of the project is the experimental 5-cell 703.75 MHz superconducting ECX cavity. Successful operation will depend on effective HOM suppression, and it is planned to achieve HOM damping exclusively with room temperature ferrite absorbers. A ferrite-lined pillbox model with dimensions reflecting the operational unit was assembled, and the cavity resonances and quality factors were determined from scattering coefficient measurements and were interpreted as surface impedance. Results from a 5-cell copper cavity with an attached ferrite absorber prototype are used for the prediction of the ECX cavity HOM damping. A rotational symmetric ferrite-lined pillbox was analyzed theoretically and compared with the simulation codesμWave Studio, GdfidL, and Superfish. Discrepancies of the resonance frequencies and Q-values were found, and steps to reach agreement are discussed. |
