MOP078 | Adjustable Power Coupler for NICA HWR Cavities | 260 |
|
||
Current results on input power coupler development for Half-Wave superconducting accelerating cavity proposed for Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) collider injector upgrade are discussed. Two coupler designs are considered, first one is a low-power coupler for cavity tests and the second one is a high-power operational coupler. Both devices are of coaxial type with capacitive coupling; high-power coupler utilizes single ceramic vacuum window. NICA is designed to accelerate different types of ions. Due to the variable intensity of ion sources, beam current will vary in wide range. In order to ensure efficient acceleration, power coupler must be highly adjustable in terms of coupling coefficient. This introduces excessive mechanical stress in the ceramic RF window due to the bellows deformation. In order to mitigate this effect bellows were substituted with sliding contacts. This paper discusses new coupler design and its electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. | ||

TUP086 | Frequency Tuning System Based on Mobile Plungers For Superconductive Coaxial Half Wave Resonators | 664 |
|
||
The design of a prototype of the frequency tuning system (FTS) for superconductive coaxial half wave cavities (HWR) [1] developed for the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) injector is presented. The proposed system is based on mobile plungers placed in the technological holes in the end caps of the resonator. The FTS allows controlling the penetration depth of plungers, which is monotonically related to the resonant frequency shift of the cavity. The developed FTS includes slow/fast tuner parts and is more compact and simple in comparison to traditional mechanical systems, which deform reversibly the HWR by applying an effort on the beam ports [2]. The similar plunger-based tuner design was considered for QWR cavities in [3]. The results of numerical simulations of the resonant frequency for a wide range of plunger parameters are presented and discussed. The most important parameters for effective frequency shift are estimated.

THP081 | A Cryocooled Normal Conducting and Superconducting Hybrid CW RF Gun | 1091 |
|
||
Continuous wave (CW) photoinjectors have seen great progress in the last decades, such as DC gun, superconducting RF (SRF) gun and normal conducting (NC) gun. Developments of Free electron lasers and electron microscopy in the CW mode are pushing for further improvements of CW guns towards higher acceleration gradient, higher beam energy and compatibility with high QE cathodes for better beam brightness. Current SC gun gradient is limited by the cathode cell due to the complication of a cathode back plane and a normal conducting cathode plug, and R&D on SC gun improvement is ongoing. A high gradient cryocooled CW NC gun was proposed to house the high QE cathode, and a SC cavity immediately nearby gives further energy acceleration. In this paper, further RF optimization of the NC gun and ASTRA simulations of such a hybrid photoinjector are presented. | ||
