MOXA03 | The 30MeV Stage of the ARIEL e-linac | 6 |
|
||
A MW class cw superconducting electron linac (e-Linac) is being installed at TRIUMF as a driver for radioactive beam production as part of the ARIEL project. The e-linac final configuration is planned to consist of five 1.3GHz nine-cell cavities housed in three cryomodules with one single cavity injector cryomodule (EINJ) and two double cavity accelerating cryomodules (EACA, EACB) to accelerate in continuous-wave (cw) up to 10mA of electrons to 50MeV. The e-Linac is being installed in stages. A demonstrator phase (2014) consisting of a 300kV electron gun, EINJ, and a partially outfitted EACA with just one accelerating cavity was installed for initial technical and beam tests to 22.9MeV. A Stage 2 upgrade now installed has a completed EACA to reach an operational goal of 3mA of electrons to 30MeV for first science from the ARIEL ISOL targets. A single 290kW klystron is used to feed the two EACA cavities in vector-sum closed-loop control. The paper is focused on the SRF challenges: systems design, cavity and cryomodule performance, rf ancillaries preparation and performance, LLRF and RF system performance and final beam test results. | ||

MOPB042 | The TRIUMF/VECC Injector Cryomodule Performance | 144 |
|
||
The collaboration on superconducting electron Linac for rare ion beam facilities ARIEL (Advanced Rare Iso-topE Laboratory) [1-4] and ANURIB [5] (Advanced Na-tional facility for Unstable and Rare Isotope Beams) has resulted in production of a superconducting Injector Cryomodule (VECC ICM) at TRIUMF for VECC. The cryomodule design utilizes a unique box cryomodule with a top-loading cold mass. The hermetic unit consists of a niobium cavity which operating at 1.3GHz and connected with two symmetrically opposed couplers which can deliver 100kW RF power to the beam. Liquid helium supplied at 4.4 K is converted to superfluid helium-II through a cryogenic insert on board which includes 4 K phase separator, 4K/2K heat exchanger and Joule-Thompson valve. In 2016, the VECC ICM has been tested at TRIUMF and demonstrated 10.5 MeV acceleration. A summary of the VECC ICM commissioning are presented. | ||

TUPB064 | Operating Experience on Cavity Performance of ISAC-II Superconducting Heavy Ion Linac | 527 |
|
||
ISAC-II is a superconducting heavy ion linac with 40 QWRs as an extension of ISAC facility for ISOL based on radioactive ion beam production and acceleration. Phase-I with twenty 106MHz cavities has been operating since 2006. The design spec was achieved with the completion of Phase-II with another twenty 141MHz cavities in 2010. The cavity performance statistics and operating experience have been accumulated over years. This paper will summarize the operating experience on cavity performance of ISAC-II. | ||

Dirty Layers, Bi-layers and Multi-layers: Insights from Muon Spin Rotation Experiments | |
|
||
Funding: This research was supported by a Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowship within the EU Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (2007-2013). The multilayer approach is being investigated for SRF applications since 2006 "*". More recently the option of using a bilayer system of two superconductors has been considered as an alternative approach to reach accelerating gradients beyond bulk niobium or to explain the gradient enhancement from a 120°C bake by introduction of a 'dirty layer "**"'. In this talk results are presented from two muon spin rotation experiments at TRIUMF and PSI. The former measures the field of first entry Hentry. It will be shown that MgB2 and Nb3Sn on top of Nb both push Hentry above Hc1 to a value consistent with Hsh, independent of the layer thickness. 120°C baking increases Hentry slightly but significantly above Hc1. Using the low energy muon beam at PSI we show that there is a long range proximity effect in a bilayer system of NbTiN on Nb. This effect yields a stronger decay of the RF field with depth as expected for pure NbTiN, opposite to what has been predicted for a bi-layer system due to counter current flow at the superconductor-superconductor interface "***". An insulating layer suppresses this proximity effect. * Gurevich, A. APL 88.1 (2006) ** Checchin, M. Diss. Illinois Institute of Technology, 2016. Kubo, T.
