MOPB013 | European XFEL Input Coupler Experiences and Challenges in a Test Field | ion, FEL, SRF, operation | 78 |
|
|||
102 European XFEL accelerating modules with 816 superconducting cavities and main input RF power couplers were assembled and then tested at DESY prior to installation in the European XFEL tunnel. In the Accelerating Module Test Facility (AMTF) warm and cold RF tests were done. The test results went directly to the operational setup for the LINAC. Main input couplers did present several problems during the tests, resulting in some minor coupler design changes as well as in a few repair actions. The experience got from the said testing operation is worth to be shared and is presented here together with a discussion. | |||

MOPB016 | Operation of Diamond Superconducting RF Cavities | cavity, ion, vacuum, operation | 87 |
|
|||
The Diamond Light Source storage ring has been in operation using superconducting RF cavities since 2007. Diamond has four superconducting cavity modules with two usually installed at any one time. The four cavities perform differently in many aspects such as reliable operating parameters and time in service, with the longest in continuous service for 7 years without failure and the shortest failing after only 8 months. All Diamond superconducting RF cavities suffered many fast vacuum trips in their early years, but after many years of efforts, the performance of the cavities have now been effectively managed by weekly conditioning, partial warm-up during shut down and cavity voltage level control. We will discuss our experience with superconducting RF cavities and our future plan. | |||

MOPB041 | Status of the SOLEIL Superconducting RF System | ion, cavity, operation, SRF | 141 |
|
|||
The 352 MHz SOLEIL SRF systems consist in two cryomodules, each containing a pair of SC Nb/Cu cavities, cooled with LHe at 4K from a single 350 W cryogenic plant. In order to store 500 mA, a power of 575 kW and an accelerating voltage of 3-4 MV are required. The RF power is provided by 4 SSPA's delivering up to 180 kW each. The original cavity input power couplers, which are LEP-type antennas designed to handle up to 200 kW, are being replaced by upgraded versions, able to operate at 300 kW CW. This will open the possibility to operate at full beam current with only one active cryomodule. The SRF system operational experience over the past ten years as well as the different upgrades will be reported here. | |||

MOPB049 | Upgraded Cavities for the CEBAF Cryomodule Rework Program | cavity, ion, HOM, cryomodule | 168 |
|
|||
Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. The CEBAF cryomodule rework program has been a successful tool to recover and maintain the energy reach of the original baseline 6 GeV accelerator. The weakest original modules with eight five-cell cavities assembled in four 'pairs', with a specification when new of 20 MV per cryomodule (5 MV/m), are disassembled, re-cleaned with modern techniques and re-qualified to at least 50 MV (12.5 MV/m), (leading to the acronym 'C50'). The cost per recovered MV is much less than building new modules. However over time the stock of weak modules is being used up and the voltage gain per rework cycle is diminishing. In an attempt to increase the gain per cycle it is proposed to rework the cavities by replacing the original accelerating cells with new ones of an improved shape and better material. The original CEBAF HOM and FPC end groups are retained. The goal is to achieve up to 75 MV (18.75 MV/m) for the reworked module ('C75'). We report on the fabrication experience and test results of the first trial pair, containing two such reworked cavities. |

MOPB052 | Dual-ridge Waveguide Load Design for eRHIC | ion, HOM, cavity, simulation | 177 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by LDRD program of Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. DOE. To increase the real estate gradient in the eRHIC electron accelerator waveguide HOM couplers are being considered. These significantly reduce the length of individual cavities and address inter-cavity trapped modes, allowing for an increased number of cavities per cryomodule, which would increase the real estate gradient. The choice of waveguide went to a dual ridge waveguide due to a smaller size compared to rectangular waveguides. The waveguide termination, to convert the RF energy into thermal energy, is a custom designed load based on a silicon carbide dielectric that is already being used in beamline absorbers. Simulations of the RF properties of the load are presented as well as first measurements on a prototype. |

MOPB053 | RF Energy Harvesting of HOM Power | ion, HOM, cavity, distributed | 180 |
|
|||
In an accelerator cavity, Higher Order Modes (HOM) are generated by the current of the beam. The HOM power can reach tens of kilowatts in a high current accelerator, depending on the details of the beam and cavity design. In this report, we propose a novel RF harvesting system to recover the HOM power into DC power which can further used for various purposes such as driving a solid state or klystron RF amplifier to supply fundamental RF power at other frequencies, charge batteries etc. The efficiency would be a product of the energy recovery and regeneration efficiencies, where the state of art is 90%. The proposed HOM power recycling system contains a multiple band harmonic RF coupler, broadband RF antenna system, a high power rectifier diode circuit and a DC load.

MOPB064 | High Power Test for Plug-compatible STF-type Power Coupler for ILC | ion, electron, vacuum, simulation | 199 |
|
|||
From the view point of plug-compatibility for the power coupler in the ILC, recommended by Linear Collider Collaboration in 2013, new STF-type power couplers with 40mm of input port diameter were re-designed, fabricated and successfully high-power-tested. Moreover, from the view point of the cost reduction for the ILC, another type of power couplers with TiN coating-free ceramic were also fabricated and high-power-tested by the collaboration between CERN and KEK. In this paper, the detailed results for the both power couplers will be presented. | |||

TUPB002 | Novel HOM Damper Design for High Current SRF Cavities | HOM, ion, cavity, SRF | 385 |
|
|||
Funding: This work is supported by LDRD program of Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. DOE. ERL-Ring eRHIC aims to build a new high current (50 mA), multi-pass (6 passes) ERL to provide 3-18 GeV electron beams to collide with proton beams from existing RHIC. One critical challenge for eRHIC is to damp HOMs. The average HOM power is up to 8 kW per cavity, and it will get worse when the electron beam spectrum overlaps with cavity HOM spectrum. A novel HOM damping scheme by employing ridge waveguides has been worked out at BNL, which is able to well damp both longitudinal and transversal modes. This paper will describe the design of the HOM damping scheme, including RF design, HOM damping results, progress of prototyping. |

TUPB010 | Multipactor Study in the Coupler Region of the Diamond SCRF Cavities | ion, cavity, pick-up, electron | 405 |
|
|||
The Diamond storage ring operates with two CESR-B type Superconducting RF cavities. The cavities suffer from trips with a sudden loss of accelerating field if operated above a certain voltage. Consequently the cavities are operated at voltages up to 1.4 MV for better reliability. These cavities are iris coupled and have fixed Qext. At these lower operating voltages, the optimum condition for beam loading is satisfied at powers around 100 kW. For operation at 300 mA with two cavities, the power needed per system exceeds 200 kW. Therefore 3 stub tuners are used to lower the Qext to move the optimum condition close to 200kW. Additionally, the step due to the difference in the height of the coupling waveguide on the cavity and that of the vacuum side waveguide on the window results in a standing wave between the cavity and the window even at matched operation. The 3 stub tuner further enhances this standing wave. Numerical simulation reveals that the standing wave field from the cavity penetrates into the coupling waveguide increasing the probability of multipactor and breakdown in the coupler region. The results of multipactor simulations in this region with CST Studio are discussed. | |||

TUPB033 | Tests of the High Current Slotted Superconducting Cavity with Extremely Low Impedance | cavity, HOM, ion, damping | 451 |
|
|||
Slotted superconducting cavity is a novel structure with extremely low impedance and high BBU threshold. It can be used in various high current applications. A 1.3 GHz 3-cell slotted superconducting cavity was designed and tested. The room temperature test results show the cavity has an extremely low impedance. The vertical test results show the cavity gradient can reach several MV/m, but it was limited by the test end group made of steel. | |||
