Intra-beam Scattering (IBS) and other diffusion mechanisms in the EIC Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) degrade the beam emittances during a store, with growth times of about 2 hours at the nominal proton energies of 275GeV, 100 GeV, and 41 GeV. Strong Hadron Cooling (SHC) can maintain good hadron beam quality and high luminosity during long collision stores. A novel cooling method ’ Coherent electron Cooling (CeC) ’ is chosen as the baseline SHC method, due to its high cooling rates. An Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) is used to deliver an intense high-quality electron beam for cooling. In this paper, we discuss the beam requirements for SHC-CeC and describe the current status of the injector and ERL designs. Two designs of injector and ERL will be presented: one for dedicated SHC and another one for SHC with precooler.

  The PIP-II Injector Test (PIP2IT) facility is a near-complete low energy portion of the Superconducting PIP-II linac driver. PIP2IT comprises the warm front end and the first two PIP-II superconducting cryomodules. PIP2IT is designed to accelerate a 2 mA H beam to an energy of 20 MeV. The facility serves as a testbed for a number of advanced technologies required to operate PIP-II and provides an opportunity to gain experience with commissioning of the superconducting linac, significantly reducing project technical risks. Some PIP2IT components are contributions from international partners, who also lend their expertise to the accelerator project. The project has been successfully commissioned with the beam in 2021, demonstrating the performance required for the LBNF/DUNE. In this paper, we describe the facility and its critical systems. We discuss our experience with the integrated testing and beam commissioning of PIP2IT, and present commissioning results. This important milestone ushers in a new era at Fermilab of proton beam delivery using superconducting radio-frequency accelerators.

This paper discusses recently proposed Higgs-Energy LEptoN (HELEN) e+e’ linear collider based on advances superconducting radio frequency technology. The collider offers cost and AC power savings, smaller footprint (relative to the ILC), and could be built at Fermilab with an Interaction Region within the site boundaries. After the initial physics run at 250 GeV, the collider could be upgraded either to higher luminosity or to higher (up to 500 GeV) energies.

  High-energy electron accelerators have been used in water purification for several years. They are very effective for the removal of complex impurities. This study aims to design a superconducting electron beam accelerator with an output energy of 1 MeV and beam power of 40 kW for wastewater treatment. A 1.3 GHz single cell elliptic cavity with β = 1 was designed and optimized for TM010 mode and an accelerating gradient of 15 MV/m. For the optimized cavity, the RF parameters, namely, R/Q, transit time factor and geometry factor (G) were found to be 174.93 ohm, 0.67 and 276 ohm, respectively. Multiphysics studies showed that the value of R/Q for fundamental accelerating mode was 174.93 ohm. It was much higher than that of other modes, thus, HOM coupler is not required for the system. The Lorentz force detuning coefficient after stiffening the cavity iris, and the temperature rise due to the RF surface losses were found to be 0.20 Hz/(MV/m)2 and 0.085 K, respectively. It is also observed that there is no occurrence of multipacting for the designed accelerating gradient.

  A high-pulse-current injector followed by a short high-gradient X-band linac is considered as a driver for a compact Inverse Compton Scattering source. We show that using a high-power ultrashort pulse laser operating in burst mode and a Fabry-Pérot enhancement cavity, X-rays with flux values over 1013 ph/s and photon energies up to MeV are achievable. The resulting high-intensity and high-energy X-rays allow for various applications, including cancer therapy, tomography, and nuclear waste management. A preliminary conceptual design of such a compact ICS source is presented, together with simulations of the expected performance.

MOPOJO11 Challenges for High-Energy X-Ray Security Screening Linacs linac, electron, detector, photon 50

  X-ray based Cargo and Vehicle Inspection (CVI) systems are used for security and customs inspections at a variety of locations. To provide the maximum flexibility many users require mobile CVI systems to allow vehicles to be screened efficiently for threats and contraband. The need for mobile systems means that the linear accelerator, and ancillary systems, used to generate the x-rays must be compact, rugged, and reliable. These systems must meet image performance tests specified by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The IEC also defines a standard for material discrimination. The requirements of these standards mean that the x-ray output produced by the linac needs to be consistent during and between scans, with the stability and repeatability of the output being critical. The tolerances on the linac output to meet the performance standards combined with the need for a compact system gives an unusual challenge for the linac design. A review of how different stability measures impact the performance tests is presented. This is compared to current technologies and possible future linacs used for mobile CVI systems.

  We present the design of a compact, 10 MeV, 300 mA pulsed X-band linac developed for medical application. The layout, <1 m including gun, buncher, capture section and current monitor, is of a recent configuration in which the 36 main linac cavities are individually fed in parallel through side waveguide manifolds, allowing for split fabrication. Initially destined for experimental study of FLASH irradiation of mouse tumors, the design was developed as a prototype for realization of a PHASER cancer treatment machine, in which multiple linacs, powered sequentially from a common RF source, are to provide rapid treatment to patients from multiple directions without mechanical movement, delivering dosage on a time scale that essentially freezes the patient. In this paper, we focus on the RF design, beam capture optimization, mechanical design and fabrication of the linac itself, deferring discussion of other important aspects such as window and target design, experimental specification setting, radiation shielding and operations.

We report on the development of a cryogenic X-band (11.424 GHz) accelerator to provide electron beams for Very High Energy Electron therapy. The distributed coupling linac is designed with a 135° phase advance, capable of producing a 100 MeV/m accelerating gradient in a one-meter structure using only 19 MW when operating at 77 K. This peak power will be achieved through pulse compression of a 5-8 MW few-µs pulse, ensuring compatibility with a commercial power source. We present designs of the cryogenic linac and power distribution system, as well as a room temperature pulse compressor using the HE11 mode in a corrugated cavity. We discuss scaling this compact and economical design into a 16 linac array that can achieve FLASH dose rates (> 40 Gy/s) while eliminating the downtime associated with gantry motion.

  Here we present, the design and optimization of a 100 kV DC thermionic electron gun, and a transport channel that provides transverse focusing through a normal conducting solenoid and longitudinal bunching with the help of a single gap buncher for a 1.3 GHz, 40 kW, 1 MeV superconducting electron accelerator. The accelerator is proposed to treat various contaminants present in potable water resources. A 100 kV thermionic electron gun with LaB6 as its cathode material was intended to extract a maximum beam current of 500 mA. To minimize beam emittance, gun geometry i.e. cathode radius, and height and radius of the focusing electrode are optimized. The minimal obtained emittance at the gun exit is 0.3 mm.mrad. A normal conducting focusing solenoid with an iron encasing is designed and optimized to match and transport the beam from gun exit to the superconducting cavity. Finally, a 1.3 GHz ELBE type buncher is designed and optimized to bunch the electron beam for further acceleration.

MOPOJO19 Programmable SLED System for Single Bunch and Multibunch Linac Operation klystron, linac, operation, LLRF 73
 
  • C. Christou, P. Gu, A. Tropp
    DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
 
  The Diamond Light Source pre-injector linac generates single bunch and multibunch 100 MeV electron beams for top-up and fill of the storage ring. The linac is powered by two high-power 3 GHz klystrons, and both klystrons are required for reliable injection into the booster and storage ring. In order to introduce redundancy, a SLED pulse compression cavity has been installed so that the linac can operate from just one klystron, with the second klystron held as a standby. A simple phase flip can be used to generate a high-power transient RF spike, suitable for single bunch linac operation, and a programmable amplitude and phase drive profile can be specified to generate a constant-power klystron output suitable for multibunch operation. Details are presented of design, installation and high-power operation of the SLED system, and the ability to generate a long pulse, including corrections for klystron nonlinearity and deviations from modulator flat-top, is demonstrated.

  The European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser (EuXFEL) is to-date the largest X-ray research facility around the world which spans over 3.4 km. EuXFEL is currently being operated in a pulsed mode with a repetition rate of 10Hz. One upgrade scenario consists of operating the EuXFEL also in a Continuous-Wave (CW) mode of operation to improve the quality of experiments. This upgrade brings new challenges and requires new algorithms to deal with controlling a stable accelerating field inside the Superconducting Radiofrequency (SRF) accelerating cavities and keeping them on resonance in this new mode of operation. The purpose of this research work is to identify the mechanical dynamics of the cavities which will facilitate the development of the resonance controller for the CW upgrade. To this extent, experiments were conducted at a test bench. For the first time, in this work, two different types of spectrally rich excitation signals: multi-sine and stepped-sine are used to excite the mechanical dynamics of the cavities using the piezo actuator. After the analysis of experimental data, mechanical modes are successfully identified and will be used to design the controller.

MOPOPA03 Beam-Transient-Based LLRF Voltage Signal Calibration for the European XFEL FEL, LLRF, linac, operation 80

  The European XFEL linac consists of 25 superconducting RF (SRF) stations. With the exception of the first station which is part of the injector, each station comprises 32 1.3-GHz SRF TESLA cavities, driven by a single 10-MW klystron. A sophisticated state-of-the-art low-level RF (LLRF) system maintains the complex vector sum of each RF station. Monitoring and maintaining the calibration of the cavity electric field (gradient) probe signals has proven critical in achieving the maximum energy performance and availability of the SRF linac. Since there are no dedicated diagnostics for cross-checking calibration of the LLRF system, a procedure has been implemented based on simultaneously measuring the beam transient in open-loop operation of all cavities. Based on methods originally developed at FLASH, the European XFEL procedure makes use of automation and the XFEL LLRF DAQ system to provide a robust and relatively fast (minutes) way of extracting the transient data, and is now routinely scheduled once per week. In this paper, we will report on the background, implementation, analysis methods, typical results, and their subsequent application for machine operation.

The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is an X-ray science facility at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The LCLS-II project (an upgrade to LCLS) is in the commissioning phase; the LCLS-II-HE (High Energy) project is another upgrade to the facility, enabling higher energy operation. An electron beam is accelerated using superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities built into cryomodules. It is planned to build 24 1.3 GHz standard cryomodules and 1 1.3 GHz single-cavity Buncher Capture Cavity (BCC) cryomodule for the LCLS-II-HE project. Fourteen of these standard cryomodules and one BCC are planned to be assembled and tested at Fermilab. Procurements for standard cryomodule components are nearing completion. The first LCLS-II-HE cryomodule, referred to as the verification cryomodule (vCM) was assembled and tested at Fermilab. Fermilab has completed the assembly of the second cryomodule. This paper presents LCLS-II-HE cryomodule production status at Fermilab, emphasizing the changes done based on the successes, challenges, mitigations, and lessons learned from LCLS-II; validation of the changes with the excellent vCM results.

  The superconducting LINAC of SPIRAL2 at the GANIL facility has been in operation since October 2019. The accelerator uses 12 low beta and 14 high beta supercon-ducting quarter wave cavities, cooled at 4°K, working at 88 MHz. The cavities are operated at a nominal gradient of 6.5 MV/m and are independently powered by a LLRF and a solid-state amplifier, protected by a circulator. Pro-ton and deuteron beam currents can reach 5 mA and beam loading perturbation is particularly strong on the first cavities, as they are operated at field levels much lower than the nominal one. This paper presents a feedback after three years of oper-ation, focuses on the RF issues, describing problems and required improvement on the low level, control and pow-er systems

  The integration of the accelerator components in to the cryogenic module prototype (Advanced Demonstrator) is a major milestone of the R&D for the superconducting heavy ion continuous wave linear accelerator HELIAC at GSI. The HELIAC is joint project of Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) and GSI developed in collaboration with IAP Goethe University Frankfurt. This module is equipped with three superconducting (sc) Cross bar H-mode (CH) acceleration cavities CH0-CH2 and a sc rebuncher cavity, as well as two sc solenoids. The commissioning of the cryogenic module with Argon beam at GSI is scheduled for August 2023. In preparation for the beam test activities, the beamline, which connects the High Charge State Injector (HLI) with the testing area, has been installed. The beamline comprises a pair of phase probes for Time Of Flight (TOF) measurement of the incoming beam energy, quadrupole lenses and a 4-gap RF-buncher cavity. The beam diagnostics bench behind the cryo module is equipped with phase probe pairs, a slit-grid device, a bunch shape monitor (Feshenko monitor) for measurements of the longitudinal beam profile. The bench allows complete 6d characterization of the ion beam.

  All HWRs (half-wave resonator superconducting cavities) have been fabricated and installed in the low energy section of the LINAC in IBS. All HWR cavities have been tested (vertical tests, VT) both at 4.2 K and 2.1 K cryogenic surroundings although operating temperature of HWRs is 2.1 K. Good cavities of high quality factors showed the Q drop tendency of 2.1 k were very similar to that of 4.2 K. However, in many cases, Q drop tendency of 2.1 K were not similar with 4.2 K, rather Q decreased more rapidly than 4.2 K which means the surface resistance of the cavity rapidly increased at 2 K surrounding. In this study, we will report that various Q results of HWRs and compare their Q drop tendency as a function of temperature, 2.1 K and 4.2 K.

Within the EU H2020 project HITRIplus for the development of cancer therapy with heavy ions a linac was designed. It is evolving from the concept of the 4 European cancer therapy centers applying light ions up to carbon. The new linac will in its simpliest version allow C4+ - beam injection into synchrotrons at 5 A MeV, with high beam transmission and allowing currents up to 5 mA alpha - particles. An advanced ECR - ion source will inject into an RFQ - IH-DTL combination. The DTL concept allows upgraded versions for A/q - values up to two and with beam energies of 7.1 A MeV from IH - tank2 and 10 A MeV from IH-tank3. The higher beam injection energies for light ions allow a relaxed synchrotron operation at lowest magnetic field levels. A main argument for the DTL extensions however is an additional linac function as radioisotope facility driver. The 7.1 A MeV are especially defined for the clean production of 211At, which may play a future role in cancer therapy. The linac will allow for high duty factors - up to 10%, to fulfil the needs for efficient radioisotope production. Solid state amplifiers with matched design RF power levels (up to 600 kW for IH3) will be used.

Given the asymmetry in the stem configuration of an IH-DTL structure, an electric dipole component is always present between drift tubes, and it is especially significant for reduced dimensions in high-frequency regimes. Here we study the effect of different modifications of the drift tubes geometry of a 750 MHz IH-DTL to eliminate the impact of the dipole component in the transverse beam dynamics. Tracking simulations through a single cell are also performed to assess the outcomes in particle’s trajectory offset and angle.

High frequency structures generally translate to high efficiency performances thanks to reduced surfaces of the inner cavity. Two round-profiles geometry and some variations of two important parameters of a 750 MHz IH-DTL are proposed in this paper in order to improve shunt impedance performance regarding an existing solution with flat-walled cavity developed by CERN. The proposed designs are shaped such that they guarantee an easy connection of RF and vacuum auxiliaries. Electromagnetic simulations are checked with CST Microwave Studio.

  The CERN spinoff company ADAM owned by Advanced Oncotherapy plc (AVO-ADAM) is completing the construction and testing of its first LIGHT (Linac for Image-Guided Hadron Therapy) system. Each LIGHT machine is composed by 20 accelerating modules: one 750 MHz RFQ, four 3 GHz Side-Coupled Drift Tube Linac (SCDTL) and 15 3 GHz Coupled-Cavity Linac (CCL). The company aims at delivering several similar LIGHT machines in the next years. A prerequisite to achieve such goal is the capability to complete the RF conditioning of the accelerating modules in a systematic and automatic way, with minimal inputs from RF engineers. In the past years ADAM developed an automatic conditioning system capable of increasing the main conditioning parameters ’ RF power, pulse width, repetition rate ’ while controlling the cavity breakdown rate and vacuum level. The system has been so far tested on about twenty accelerating structures with different brazing methodologies and RF accelerating voltages, proving its robustness. This paper discusses the ADAM automatic conditioning system design and its implementation.

  The LIGHT (Linac for Image-Guided Hadron Therapy) machine is designed to accelerate a proton beam up to 230 MeV to treat deep seated tumours. The machine consists of three different kinds of accelerators: RFQ (Radio-Frequency Quadrupole), SCDTL (Side Coupled Drift Tube Linac) and CCL (Coupled Cavity Linac). These accelerating structures are fed with RF power at 750 MHz (RFQ) and 3 GHz (SCDTLs and CCLs). This power is delivered to the accelerating structure via the high power RF transmission network (RF network). In addition, the RF network needs to offer other functionalities, like protection of the high RF power feeding stations, power splitting, phase and amplitude control and monitoring. The maximum power handling of the RF network corresponds to a peak RF power of 8 MW and an average RF power of 9 kW. It functions either in Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) conditions at an ultimate operating pressure of 10-7 mbar, or under pressurized gas. The above listed requirements involve different challenges. In this contribution we exhibit the main aspects to be considered based on AVO experience during the commissioning of the RF network units.

  The LIGHT (Linac for Image-Guided Hadron Therapy) project was initiated to develop a modular proton accelerator delivering beam with energies up to 230 MeV for cancer therapy. The machine consists of three different kinds of accelerating structures: RFQ (Radio-Frequency Quadrupole), SCDTL (Side Coupled Drift Tube Linac) and CCL (Coupled Cavity Linac). These accelerating structures operate at 750 MHz (RFQ) and 3 GHz (SCDTL, CCL). The accelerator RF signals are generated, distributed, and controlled by a Low-Level RF (LLRF) system. The LIGHT LLRF system is based on a commercially available solution from Instrumentation Technologies with project specific customization. This LLRF system features high amplitude and phase stability, monitoring of the RF signals from the RF network and the accelerating structures at 200 Hz, RF pulse shaping over real-time interface integrated, RF breakdown detection, and thermal resonance frequency correction feedback. The LLRF system control is integrated in a Front-End Controller (FEC) which connects it to the LIGHT control system. In this contribution we present the main features of the AVO LLRF system, its operation and performance.

  Proton Therapy (PT) was first proposed in the 1940s. Application of this knowledge was largely led over the next fifty years by accelerator laboratories, but now also by commercial companies. Availability of PT is increasing but is limited by three factors: facility size, prompt/induced radiation, and treatment cost. Compact cyclotrons/synchro cyclotrons for single-room facilities have reduced space requirements. linacs can avoid high radiation levels. Yet treatment costs have remained stubbornly high, driven largely by maintenance and staffing costs over the typical 20-30 year facility lifetime. Current technology cannot simultaneously reduce these three factors. By using a long linac, the Alceli approach sacrifices size limitations, to gain massive improvements in treatment cost and radiation levels. Quadrupling the length of a linac results in a sixteen-fold reduction in RF power per cavity. Along with other innovations in our design, this leads to a modular warm linac with distributed solid-state RF amplification, easy and cheap to manufacture and maintain, requiring no water cooling, and a treatment cost of 1/10th of current facilities, making PT much more affordable.

Additive manufacturing ("AM" or "3D printing") has become a powerful tool for rapid prototyping and manufacturing of complex geometries. A 433 MHz IH-DTL cavity has been constructed to act as a proof of concept for additive manufacturing of linac components. In this case, the internal drift tube structure has been produced from 1.4404 stainless steel using AM. We present the concept of the cavity as well as first results of vacuum testing, materials testing and low level rf measurements. Vacuum levels sufficient for linac operation have been reached with the AM linac structure.

  The demand for neutrons of various types for research is growing day by day worldwide. To meet the growing demand the Jülich High Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) is in development. It is based on a high power linear proton accelerator with an end energy of 70 MeV and a proton beam current of 100 mA. The main part of the accelerator consists of about 45 CH-type cavities. As the current beam dynamic layout is still work in progress the number of cavities can change for the final design. For this beam dynamic layout the design of the CH-type cavities was optimized to handle the high accelerating gradient. The results of the performance of the CH-type cavities will be presented in this paper.

  Various types of cavity structures are typically used in hadron linacs, depending on the energy range of the beam particle. This is especially the case in a normal-conducting linac, because the cavity’s acceleration efficiency varies with the velocity of the synchronous particle. For low-energy proton acceleration, while Alvarez drift-tube linacs (DTLs) are the most prevalent, TE-mode accelerating structures, which could also be called H-mode structures, are also widely used immediately after an initial radiofrequency quadrupole linac (RFQ). At present, the representative structures of TE modes are interdigital H-mode (IH) DTL and crossbar H-mode (CH) DTL, which are based on the TE11-mode pillbox cavity and TE21-mode pillbox cavity, respectively. In this presentation, acceleration efficiency of TE-mode structures including higher-order TE-modes such as TE31 and TE41 was comparatively reviewed with Alvarez DTL. This study shows that IH-DTL and CH-DTL have a larger shunt impedance than Alvarez DTL for proton acceleration below 10 MeV, and furthermore for the TEm1-mode structures, the rotational symmetry of the electric field improves with increasing angular index m.

  The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has proposed an accelerator-driven subcritical system (ADS) to efficiently reduce high-level radioactive waste generated at nuclear power plants. One of the challenging R&D aspects of ADS is the reliability of the accelerator. In preparation for the full-scale design of the CW proton linac for the JAEA-ADS, we are now prototyping a low-beta (around 0.2) single spoke cavity. Since there is no experience in Japan in manufacturing a superconducting spoke cavity, prototyping and performance testing of the cavity is essential to ensure the feasibility of the JAEA-ADS linac. In the Japanese fiscal year 2021, we have started welding cavity parts together. By preliminarily examining the electron beam welding conditions, each press-formed niobium part was joined with a smooth welding bead. The current status of the spoke cavity prototyping for the JAEA-ADS linac is presented.

MOPOGE16 Development of High-Gradient Accelerating Structures for Proton Radiography Booster at LANSCE booster, linac, proton, coupling 188

  Increasing energy of proton beam at LANSCE from 800 MeV to 3 GeV improves radiography resolution ~10 times. We propose accomplishing this energy boost with a compact cost-effective linac based on normal conducting high-gradient (HG) RF accelerating structures. Such an unusual proton linac is feasible for proton radiography (pRad), which operates with very short beam (and RF) pulses. For a compact pRad booster at LANSCE, we have developed a multi-stage design: a short L-band section to capture and compress the 800-MeV proton beam from the existing linac followed by the main HG linac based on S- and C-band cavities, and finally, by an L-band de-buncher*. Here we present details of development, including EM and thermal-stress analysis, of proton HG structures with distributed RF coupling for the pRad booster. A short test structure is designed specifically for measurements at the LANL C-band RF Test Stand.

MOPOGE17 CST Modeling of the LANSCE Coupled-Cavity Linac alignment, linac, quadrupole, emittance 191
 
  • S.S. Kurennoy, Y.K. Batygin
    LANL, Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA
 
  The 800-MeV proton linac at LANSCE consists of a drift-tube linac, which brings the beam to 100 MeV, followed by 44 modules of a coupled-cavity linac (CCL). Each CCL module contains multiple tanks, and it is fed by a single 805-MHz klystron. CCL tanks are multi-cell blocks of identical re-entrant side-coupled cavities, which are followed by drifts with magnetic quadrupole doublets. Bridge couplers - special cavities displaced from the beam axis - electromagnetically couple CCL tanks over such drifts within a module. We have developed 3D CST models of CCL tanks. The models are used to calculate electromagnetic fields in the tanks. Beam dynamics is modelled in CST for bunch trains with realistic beam distributions using the calculated RF fields and quadrupole magnetic fields. Beam dynamics results are crosschecked with other multi-particle codes and applied to evaluate effects of CCL misalignments.

A new superconducting (SC) continuous wave (CW) linac, providing high efficient heavy ion acceleration above the coulomb barrier, is going to be built at GSI to fulfill the upcoming demands in the research field of super heavy element (SHE) synthesis. The so called HELIAC (HElmholtz LInear ACcelerator) delivers ion beams in the energy range of 3.5 MeV/u and 7.3 MeV/u with a mass to charge ratio (A/z) of up to 6. Superconducting multi-gap crossbar-H-mode (CH) cavities with a resonance frequency of 217 MHz are used for beam acceleration. In addition, SC single spoke buncher cavities should ensure longitudinal beam matching to the corresponding CH sections. Therefore, the first 217 MHz single spoke cavity with beta 0.07 has been developed at HIM/GSI and built at an industrial partner. In this paper the design of the cavity and first RF measurements during manufacturing are presented.

MOPOGE23 Conservation of Quality Factor for Superconducting Cavity and Heartbeat under Relativistic Motion acceleration, superconducting-cavity, resonance, ECR 204

  Funding: This research was supported by the Rare Isotope Science Project of Institute for Basic Science funded by Ministry of Science and National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF-2013M7A1A1075764).
The conservation of quality factor under relativistic motion is applied to the superconducting cavity as well as the heartbeat of mammal. The quality factor of the superconducting cavity is conserved under relativistic motion. The frequency of the cavity decreases and the decay time increases as the velocity and acceleration are increased. The quality factor of the superconducting cavity is comparable with the total heartbeat of the mammal. The quality factor for the heartbeat of the mammal representing the total number of heartbeat is also conserved under relativistic motion. Therefore, the heart rate is inversely proportional to the life expectancy under relativistic motion.

RF test for quarter-wave resonator (QWR) and half-wave resonator (HWR) superconducting cavities is performed at low temperature. The quality factors of the superconducting cavities are measured as a function of accelerating field. The magnetic heating effect for the quarter-wave resonator (QWR) is studied. For the half-wave resonator (HWR), the Q slope degradation is investigated with x-ray radiation and field emission.

  The Accelerator Science and Technology Centre (ASTeC) is responsible for delivering 88 High Beta (HB) cavities as part of the European Spallation Source (ESS) facility in Sweden. The bulk Niobium Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities operate at 704 MHz. They have been fabricated in industry and are currently being tested at Daresbury Laboratory and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY). They will then be delivered to Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (CEA) Saclay, France for integration into cryomodules. To date 50 cavities have been conditioned and evaluated and 36 cavities have been delivered to CEA. This paper discusses the experiences and testing of the cavities performed to date at both sites

RadiaBeam is developing a Bunch Shape Monitor (BSM) with improved performance that incorporates three major innovations. First, the collection efficiency is im-proved by adding a focusing field between the wire and the entrance slit. Second, a new design of an RF deflector improves beam linearity. Finally, the design is augmented with both a movable wire and a microwave deflecting cavity to add functionality and enable measuring the transverse profile as a wire scanner. In this paper, we pre-sent the design of the BSM and its sub-systems.

MOPORI12 Development of Commercial RFQ Toward CW Applications rfq, MMI, operation, neutron 255
 
  • H. Yamauchi, M. Masuoka
    Time Corporation, Hiroshima, Japan
 
  TIME Co. developed a new 4-vane RFQ structure that can be used for a very high-duty factor operation. We eliminated the tuners to flatten the field distribution. The tuners increase RF contacts which may trigger unex-pected local heat spots and subsequent discharges. In addition, we hollowed out the entire vane to achieve large cooling water channels. A high-power test showed that the commissioning was completed within one day. We could input a nominal RF power without experienc-ing almost any discharge. The applied duty factor was 5 % at the 200 MHz resonant frequency, and the meas-ured frequency shift was not detected.
These activities have been carried out in collaboration with Tokyo Institute of Technology and RIKEN.

  A transverse deflecting cavity is being developed for the electron linac ELBE to separate the bunches into two or more beamlines so that multiple user experiments can be carried out simultaneously. A normal conducting double quarter-wave cavity has been designed to deliver a transverse kick of 300 kV when driven by an 800 W solid-state amplifier at 273 MHz. The main challenges in fabrication were machining the complex cavity parts with high precision, pre-tuning the cavity frequency, and the final vacuum brazing within the tolerances, which are described in this paper. The reason for a low intrinsic quality factor measured during the low power test was investigated, and suitable steps were taken to improve the quality factor. The cavity field profiles obtained from the bead-pull measurement matched the simulation results. Further, the cavity was driven up to 1 kW using a modified pick-up antenna, and eventually, vacuum conditioning of the cavity was accomplished. The cavity fulfils the design requirements and is ready for beam tests.

  A muon linac is under development for a new muon g-2/EDM experiment at J-PARC. The muons are cooled to about room temperature and then re-accelerated to 212 MeV by four linear accelerators to produce a low-emittance muon beam. In the low-beta section, a short-range acceleration cavity with high efficiency needs to be developed to suppress the decay of muons. We propose a 324 MHz inter-digital H-mode drift-tube linac (IH-DTL) with high acceleration efficiency. The cavity can be downsized by introducing the alternating phase focusing (APF) method that provides transverse focusing only with an E-field. We have developed a prototype cavity that accelerates muons up to 1.3 MeV to demonstrate the principle. In this paper, the result of the high power test of the APF IH-DTL prototype is reported.

  To synthesise the experimental results and theory pertaining to high-field phenomena, a model has been developed to simulate the conditioning and operation of high-field systems. By using a mesh-based method, the high-field conditioning of any arbitrary geometry and surface electric field distribution may be simulated for both RF and DC devices. Several phenomena observed in previous high-field tests such as the probabilistic behaviour of vacuum arcs and the inhomogeneous distribution of arc locations are described by this approach.

MOPORI26 Limits on Standing Wave Cavity Performance Due to Thermal Effects simulation, linac, proton, DTL 287
 
  • S.J. Smith, G. Burt
    Cockcroft Institute, Lancaster University, Lancaster, United Kingdom
 
  After an RF cavity has been designed, a thermal analysis is typically performed to assess the effects of RF heating on the operating frequency and field flatness. A multi-physics approach (coupled electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical) is normally employed, sometimes combined with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to incorporate flowing water, which is used for cooling in normal conducting structures. Performing a CFD analysis can add significant time to the design process because of the long and complex simulations and instead, approximations of the heat transfer coefficients and inlet/outlet water temperature rises are made and used directly in the multi-physics analysis. In this work, we first explore the limits of these approximations, identifying when they apply and how accurate they are. We then investigate different pipe geometries and water flow rates to find the thermal limits from RF heating on cavity performance.

  The development of simpler, compact Superconducting RF (SRF) systems represents a new subject of research in accelerator science. These compact accelerators rely on advancements made to both Nb3Sn SRF cavities and commercial cryocoolers, which together allow for the removal of liquid cryogenics from the system. This approach to SRF cavity operation, based on novel conduction cooling schemes, has the potential to drastically extend the range of application of SRF technology. By offering robust, non-expert, turn-key operation, such systems enable the use of SRF accelerators for industrial, medical, and small-scale science applications. This presentation will provide an overview of the significant progress being made at Cornell, Jefferson Lab, and Fermilab (FNAL), including stable cavity operation at 10 MV/m. It will also introduce the primary challenges of this new field and their potential solutions, along with an overview of the various applications which could benefit the most from this technology.

  This talk will discuss Fermilab’s recent progress in the surface engineering of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities geared toward producing simultaneously high quality factors and high accelerating gradients in cryomodules. We investigate possible microscopic mechanisms that drive improved performance by carrying out sequential RF tests on cavities subjected to low temperature baking. We compare performance evolution to observations made with material science techniques and find correlations with material parameters. We also discuss other key advancements that enable high gradient operation in cryomodules.

TU1AA04 SWELL and Other SRF Split Cavity Development HOM, GUI, vacuum, SRF 300
 
  • F. Peauger
    CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
 
  An innovative superconducting cavity topology has been recently proposed at CERN and at Lancaster University. It integrates longitudinal slots crossing perpendicularly the RF surface. The RF current lines run along the slots, inducing no perturbation of the accelerating mode. Thanks to this approach, the cavity can be built using halves or quadrants, which is well appropriate to precise manufacturing techniques. This configuration allows direct access to the RF surface, thus facilitating the surface preparation and thin film deposition process in the case of cavities based on Nb/Cu technology. The contact faces between the cavity parts are moved to the slots’ ends where the electromagnetic fields are extremely low, thus relaxing the constraints on the quality of the assembly joints. This paper covers the latest development of a 600 MHz slotted elliptical cavity called SWELL, which has been proposed as an alternative option for the FCC-ee RF system as well as a simplified SWELL version of a single cell 1.3 GHz elliptical cavity and a new 6 GHz split resonator made of two halves for superconducting thin film characterization.

  The commissioning of SPIRAL2 was carried out in different steps and slots from 2014 to end 2021. In a first phase, the proton-deuteron and heavy ion sources, LEBT lines and RFQ were commissioned and validated with A/Q=1 up to 3 particles. The validation of the MEBT (between the RFQ and the linac, including the Single Bunch Selector), linac and HEBT lines (up to the beam dump and to the NFS experimental room) started on July 2019, when GANIL received the authorization to operate SPIRAL2. The linac tuning is now validated with H+, 4He2+ and D+ and nominal H+ and D+ beams were sent to NFS for physics experiments. The main results obtained during the commissioning stages and the strategy used by the commissioning team are presented.

  The MYRRHA design for an accelerator driven system (ADS) is based on a 600 MeV superconducting proton linac. The first stage towards its realization is called MINERVA and was approved in 2018 to be constructed by SCK•CEN in Belgium. This 100 MeV linac, will serve as technology demonstrator for the high MYRRHA reliability requirements as well as driver for two independent target stations, one for radio-isotope research and production of radio-isotopes for medical purposes, the other one for fusion materials research. This contribution gives an overview of the latest accelerator machine physics design with a focus on the optimized medium (17 MeV) and high energy (100 MeV) beam transfer lines.

  A 704.4 MHz Crossbar H-mode (CH) drift tube linac has been proposed for performing a radio frequency jump at ß = 0.2. Up to now, the highest frequency of the constructed CH cavities is 360 MHz. Simulations have shown that the operation frequency for an H210-mode cavity can be up to ~800 MHz. At 704.4 MHz, the cavity dimensions become small, which bring challenges for many practical problems e.g. construction, vacuum pumping and RF coupling. This paper presents the performed R&D studies for the realization of such a very high frequency cavity.

  The first tank of Drift Tube Linac (DTL) for the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS), delivered by INFN, has been installed in the ESS tunnel in Summer 2021. The DTL-1 is designed to accelerate a 62.5 mA proton beam from 3.62 MeV up to 21 MeV. It consists of 61 accelerating gaps, alternate with 60 drift tubes equipped with Permanent Magnet Quadrupole (PMQ) in a FODO lattice. The remaining drift tubes are equipped with dipole correctors (steerers), beam position monitors (BPMs) or empty. The total length of the cavity is 7.6 m and it is stabilized by post couplers. Two waveguide couplers feed the DTL with the 2.2 MW of RF power required for beam operation, equally divided by RF power losses and beam power. This paper first presents the main systems required for the DTL conditioning. Then it summarizes the main steps and results of this high power RF conditioning done at ESS to prepare the DTL for the consequent beam commissioning.

  The latest beam commissioning phase of the Normal Conducting Linac at ESS delivered a proton beam through the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) into the first Drift Tube Linac (DTL) tank. The probe beam in MEBT consisted of 3.6 MeV protons of <6 mA, <5 microseconds pulse length and 1 Hz repetition rate. Following the delivery of the components at ESS in Lund in June 2019, the commissioning phase with the MEBT was completed in July 2022. In March 2022, the maximum beam current of 62.5 mA was transported up to the MEBT Faraday cup. This proceeding focuses on the status of MEBT including magnets, buncher cavities, scrapers and beam diagnostics designed and tested in collaboration with ESS Bilbao.

  Mark Pendleton, et al. The UK’s first and only vertical test facility and associated cleanroom reprocessing suite has been developed, commissioned, and entered steady-state operations at the UKRI-STFC Daresbury Laboratory. The facility is capable of 2 K testing of 3 jacketed SRF cavities in a horizontal configuration per 2-week test cycle. We report on the associated cryogenic, RF, UHV, mechanical, cleanroom, and HPR infrastructure. SRF cavity workflows have been developed to meet the requirements of the ESS high beta cavity project within a newly developed quality management system, SuraBee, in accordance with ISO9001. To support standardisation of measurements across the collaboration, reference cavities have been measured for cross-reference between CEA, DESY, and UKRI-STFC. We further report on commissioning objectives, observations, and continuous improvement activities.

  An advanced high-power, high power density, solid state power amplifier (SSPA) was developed to replace Vacuum Electron Devices (VEDs). Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) developed and integrated a resonant-cavity combiner with solid state amplifiers for the Proton Improvement Plan-II (PIP-II) at Fermilab. The architecture combines the power of N-many RF power transistors into a single resonant cavity that are surface-mounted and -cooled. The system is designed so that failure of individual transistors has negligible performance impact. Due to the electrical and mechanical simplicity, maintenance and logistics are simplified. DTI demonstrated the basic feasibility of a 50-100 kW class amplifier resonant cavity combiner system at 650 MHz. A single-cavity system reached 15 kW at 66% power-added efficiency with ten of 12 slots filled on only 1 of 2 cavities faces. The system further demonstrated the expected graceful degradation; an intermittent fault occurred on 1 of the 10 modules and the only observable effect was a reduction in output power to 13.3 kW with a slight reduction in efficiency. Combining of multiple cavities was also demonstrated at low power.

The Proton Power Upgrade (PPU) project at Oak Ridge National Lab’s Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) currently being constructed will double the proton beam power capability from 1.4 to 2.8 MW by adding seven cryomodules, each containing four six-cell high-beta (β = 0.81) superconducting radio frequency cavities. Research Instruments, located in Germany, built and processed the cavities at the vendor site, including electropolishing as the final active chemistry step. Twenty-eight cavities for seven cryomodules and an additional four cavities for a spare cryomodules were delivered to Jefferson Lab and first qualification tests were completed on all cavities as received from the vendor. The performance largely exceeded the requirements on quality factor and accelerating gradient. Here we present the status of initial cavity qualification tests, rework on unqualified cavities and final cavity qualification with helium vessel prior to installation in cryomodules. In addition, an update on cryomodule production is presented.

  Within the framework of MINERVA, the first Phase of MYRRHA (Multi-purpose hYbrid Research Reactor for High-tech Applications) project, IN2P3 labs are in charge of the developments of several accelerator elements. Among those, a fully equipped Spoke cryomodule prototype was constructed, it integrates two superconducting single spoke cavities operating at 2K, the RF power couplers and the associated cold tuning systems. The extreme reliability specified for this project motivated to conduct ALT (Accelerated Lifetime Test) on two extra cold tuning systems in cryomodule like environment. Thus, by gathering information from experimental data, many aspects can be enhanced like maintenance plan consolidation, determination of aging indicators and design optimization of the whole system and its sub components. This paper describes the complete ALT process from the studying elements and the test environment design, to the experimental results and findings.

  RFQ at ESS has been successfully gone through RF conditioning, RF re-conditioning and low duty cycle beam commissioning. RFQ fulfills required functions and overall performance is satisfactory. RF conditioning, three RF re-conditionings after LEBT intervention and beam commissioning will be reported and RFQ performance during these periods will be described. RFQ performance in a large extent is reflected by dynamics and interactions between RF, cavity and beam. Thanks to advanced hardware capabilities and intelligent software intelligence, observation of those dynamics and interactions are done in detailed level. Analysis of those dynamics and interaction will be introduced. Some techniques to deal with challenges resulted from those dynamics and interactions will also be discussed.

  Multipactor is an undesired phenomenon triggered by electromagnetic fields in accelerator components and more specifically in RF structures, such as accelerating cavities and power couplers, and may lead to Electron Cloud build up in beam tubes. The accelerator group at LPSC has developed an experimental setup dedicated to multipactor studies. It consists in a coaxial resonator, tunable and operational between 100 MHz and 1 GHz. It allows to characterize under real conditions the efficiency of surface treatment mitigation processes (coatings, cleaning procedures) at room temperature. This paper presents the experimental measurements performed with this setup confronted to simulations.

  The superconducting continuous wave (cw) heavy ion HElmholtz LInear ACcelerator (HELIAC) is intended to be built at GSI in Darmstadt. With its high average beam current and repetition rate, the HELIAC is designed to fulfill the requirements of the super heavy element (SHE) research user program and the material sciences community at GSI. The accelerating cavities are of the superconducting Crossbar H-mode (CH) type, developed by GUF. Within the Advanced Demonstrator project, the first cryomodule, consisting of four cavities is scheduled for commissioning with beam in 2023. The former RF power couplers introduced a high heat input into the cryostat. Therefore, the coupler is redesigned at HIM in order to not only reduce the heat input but to provide an overall improved power coupler for the HELIAC. It is designed for maximal power of 5 kW cw at the frequency of 216.816 MHz. A prototype has been tested and commissioned recently. This includes several RF-tests at room temperature and in cryogenic environments. The results of these tests will be presented in this paper.

TUPOPA24 Design of an X-Band Bunching and Accelerating System for AWAKE Run 2 acceleration, electron, bunching, gun 458
 
  • J.M. Arnesano, S. Döbert
    CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
 
  The AWAKE experiment at CERN demonstrated in its Run 1 that it is possible to accelerate electrons in plasma wakefields driven by a self-modulated proton bunch. In Run2, AWAKE aims to increase the accelerating gradient in the plasma even further and demonstrate beam quality in order to be ready for high-energy physics experiments. In this framework, a new electron injector, consisting of an S-band RF-gun and a subsequent X-band bunching and accelerating section, capable of producing very short bunches with a small emittance, has been designed. In this paper, two different configurations of the X-band section and their corresponding high-power distribution systems are presented. The first one consists of three identical cavities to bunch and accelerate the beam while the second one uses a separate short structure for velocity bunching followed by three long, pure accelerating structures. A discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each configuration is carried out and beam dynamics aspects are analyzed. Finally the X-Band power distribution systems are described with particular attention to the choice of the klystron, the pulse compression system and the waveguide distribution.

TUPOPA27 Conceptual Analysis of a Compact High Efficiency Klystron klystron, bunching, wiggler, focusing 466

  Traditional klystron efficiencies are limited by the output electron beam harmonic current and energy spread. Increasing the amount of harmonic current produced in the klystron requires increasing the velocity bunching in the input cavity. Additional cavities may be used to improve the bunching, however they do so at additional cost and space requirements for the klystron. Moreover, at higher currents space charge counteracts this velocity bunching reducing the amount of harmonic current that can be produced. Our concept resolves these challenges by employing a new type of high-efficiency, multi-beam klystron. Our design consists of a single two-frequency input cavity, a wiggler, and an output cavity. The two-frequency input cavity approximates a linear function in time thereby increasing the harmonic content of the beam, while the wiggler provides strong longitudinal focusing to mitigate the effects of space charge. In this paper we provide the theoretical foundation for our design and present initial numerical calculations showing improved bunching from the harmonic mode and the wiggler.

Magnetron RF power sources for single cavities can cost much less and operate at much higher efficiency than klystrons, but they do not have the phase and amplitude control, or the lifetime, needed to drive SRF cavities for superconducting particle accelerators. Existing magnetrons that are typically used to study methods of control or lifetime improvements for SRF accelerators are built for much different applications such as kitchen microwave ovens (1kW, 2.45 GHz) or industrial heating (100 kW, 915 MHz). Muons, Inc. is working with Richardson Electronics LLC to develop fast and flexible manufacturing techniques to allow many ideas to be tested for construction variations that enable new phase and amplitude injection locking control methods, longer lifetime, and inexpensive refurbishing resulting in the lowest possible life-cycle costs. A magnetron suitable for 1497 MHz klystron replacements at Jefferson Lab has been designed, constructed, and tested.

  A quarter-wave resonator (QWR) cryomodule was designed and assembled at TRIUMF for the energy upgrade of the VECC ISOL-RIB facility to boost radioactive isotopes from 1MeV/u to 2MeV/u. The top loading cryomodule was chosen based on the ISAC-II low energy section design, consisting of four superconducting QWRs and one superconducting solenoid. The major change from ISAC-II concept is separating the RF space vacuum from the isolation vacuum. The cryogenic commissioning was recently completed. The cold mass alignments and the cryogenic heat loads were measured. The cavity performance was qualified in both test regime and operating regime. The cavity degradations caused by magnetic pollution from solenoid and the recovery procedure were verified. This paper will report the detailed results of the commissioning.

  The superconducting LINAC of SPIRAL2 at the GANIL facility is in operation since October 2019. Its 26 super-conducting quarter wave resonating cavities (88 MHz) are operated at a nominal gradient of 6.5 MV/m, but most of the cavities can be operated up to 8 MV/m. They are integrated into 19 cryomodules and cooled down at 4 K by a dedicated refrigeration cryogenic system. In this paper, we will present a feedback after five years of operation of the cryogenic system, focusing on the main problems that have been faced, and on the diverse evolutions performed in order to improve the cryogenic system and to increase its reliability. We will also provide a feedback of the superconducting cavities performances status after three years of operation

  SPIRAL2 is a superconducting accelerator for protons, deuterons and heavy ions delivering a maximum beam power of 200 kW at 40 MeV (for deuteron beams). 26 superconducting quarter wave cavities are operated at 4.4 K, plunged in a liquid helium bath with a drastic phase separator pressure control. Previous years have seen the development of advanced process control for cryogenics allowing to cope with high heat load dynamics thanks to an automatic heat dissipation compensation and a model based control. The latter is based on models, using the Simcryogenics library, optimized and linearised in the Programmable Logic Controllers. The SPIRAL2 operation has demonstrated that such control allows to keep the specified conditions for RF and beam operation even at levels of heat load dissipation approaching the physical limits of the cryogenic system. These developments allowed to synthesise a virtual observer of the dynamic heat load dissipated by the cavities. The present paper summarises the development of such observer based on the physical thermodynamic model and on machine learning techniques.

  Powerful superconducting linear accelerators feature accelerating sections consisting in a series of cryomod-ules (CM), each hosting superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities cooled by a cryogenic process. Despite the extensive instrumentation used for the tests and valida-tion of the prototype cryomodules, it is usually very complex to link the measured global thermodynamic efficiency to the individual component performance. Previous works showed methods for assessing the global efficiency and even for allocating performances to sets of components, but few went down to a component level. For that purpose, we developed a set of techniques based on customized instrumentation, on dedicated test proto-cols, and on model-based analysis tools. In practice, we exposed the components to various operating conditions and we compared the measured data to the results from a detailed dynamic component model at the same condi-tions. This method was applied to the cryogenic debug-ging phase of the tests of the MINERVA prototype cry-omodule, which, despite the liquid helium shortage, led to an extensively detailed characterisation, for its valida-tion towards the serial construction.

  A novel vertical test facility has been developed, commissioned, and entered steady-state operations at the UKRI-STFC Daresbury Laboratory. The cryostat is designed to test 3 jacketed superconducting RF cavities in a horizontal configuration in a single cool-down run at 2 K. A 2-year program is currently underway to test ESS high-beta cavities. Upon completion of this program, the facility will undertake a testing program for PIP-II HB650 cavities. In the current configuration, a solution combining passive and active magnetic shielding has been validated for the ESS requirement of field attenuation to the level of <1 uT, although continuous field measurements are not provided. This paper reports the implementation of passive and active shielding, along with simulation and experimental measurements thereof.

The cryostat is designed to test 3 jacketed superconducting RF cavities in a horizontal configuration in a single cool-down run at 2 K. The cavities are cooled with superfluid helium filled into their individual helium jackets. This reduces the liquid helium consumption by more than 70% in comparison with the conventional facilities operational elsewhere. The facility is currently undertaking a 2-year program to qualify 84 high-beta SRF cavities for the ESS (European Spallation Source) as part of the UK’s in-kind contribution. This paper reports on the steady-state operations, along with a detailed discussion of the cryogenic performance of the facility, including that of the cryoplant.

  UKRI-STFC Daresbury Laboratory is currently undertaking several projects involving assembly of superconducting RF cryomodules, including HL-LHC crab cavities and PIP-II HB650 cavities. As part of the final acceptance tests before shipping of the modules, extensive leak testing, pressure testing, and thermal cycling with gaseous and liquid must be performed. A Final Acceptance Test kit (FAT-kit) has been developed to support these tests. The FAT-kit, designed as a single portable unit, sits as an interface module between the cryomodule under test and the required utilities (liquid cryogen supply and return, gaseous cryogen supply and return, warm gas supply and return, vacuum pumps, leak detectors, etc.). The kit features a valve manifold to make or break connections to, from, and between circuits in the cryomodule, safety groupings to provide protection for the circuits as required, and various instrumentation. We report here on the design and commissioning of the kit.

The present contribution reports the design of the pre-production Single Spoke Resonator Type 2 Cryomodule (ppSSR2 CM), developed in the framework of the PIP-II project at Fermilab. The innovative design is based on a structure, the strongback, which supports the coldmass from the bottom, stays at room temperature during operations, and can slide longitudinally with respect to the vacuum vessel. The Fermilab style cryomodule developed for the prototype Single Spoke Resonator Type 1 (pSSR1) and the prototype High Beta 650 MHz (pHB650) cryomodules is the baseline of the current design, which paves the way for production SSR1 and SSR2 cryomodules for the PIP-II linac. The focus of this contribution is on the results of calculations and finite element analysis performed to optimize the critical components of the cryomodule: vacuum vessel, strongback, thermal shield, and magnetic shield.

Titanium and niobium are the main materials used for the fabrication of Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities. These two metals are usually joined , using various welding techniques, using a third material in between. This contribution focuses on the development of an innovative electron beam welding technique capable of producing a strong bond between these two different materials. Several samples are produced and tested to assess the mechanical strength at room and cryogenic temperature as well as the composition of the resulting welded joint. Also, the first units of the Single Spoke Resonator type 2 (SSR2) cavities for the Proton Improvement Plan-II (PIP-II [1]) have been fabricated joining directly various grades of titanium to niobium and results gathered through the fabrication will be reported.

The beam volume of the Pre-Production Single Spoke Resonator type 2 (ppSSR2) cryomodule [1] for the Proton Improvement Plan-II (PIP-II) [2] project will be protected against over-pressurization using a burst disk. This contri- bution focuses on the analysis of the relief of such trapped volume during a catastrophic scenario with multiple systems failures. An analytical model, able to predict the pressure in the beam volume depending of the various boundary condi- tions, has been developed and will be presented along with the results.

The prototype High Beta 650 MHz cryomodule (pHB650 CM) has been designed by an integrated design team, consisting of Fermilab (USA), CEA (France), STFC UKRI (UK), and RRCAT (India). The manufacturing and assembly of this prototype cryomodule is being done at Fermilab, whereas the production cryomodules will be manufactured and assembled by STFC-UKRI. As the first PIP-II cryomodule for which standardization was applied, the design, manufacturing and assembly of this cryomodule led to significant lessons being learnt and experiences gathered. These were incorporated into the design of the pre-production Single Spoke Resonator Type 2 cryomodule (ppSSR2 CM) and the pre-production Low Beta 650 MHz cryomodule (ppLB650 CM). This paper presents the pHB650 CM lessons learned and experiences gathered from the design to the lower coldmass assembly and how this cryomodule has a positive impact on all the next Proton Improvement Plan-II (PIP-II) cryomodules due to the standardization set up among SSR and 650 cryomodules.

TUPOGE18 Operations of Copper Cavities at Cryogenic Temperatures cryogenics, vacuum, coupling, experiment 533
 
  • H. Wang, U. Ratzinger, M. Schuett
    IAP, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
 
  This work is focused on the anomalous skin effect in copper and how it affects the efficiency of copper-cavities in the temperature range 40-50 K. The quality factor Q of three coaxial cavities was measured over the temperature range from 10 K to room temperature in the experiment. The three coaxial cavities have the same structure, but different lengths, which correspond to resonant frequencies: around 100 MHz, 220 MHz and 340 MHz. Furthermore, the effects of copper-plating and additional baking in the vacuum oven on the quality factor Q are studied in the experiment. The motivation is to check the feasibility of an efficient, pulsed, ion linac, operated at cryogenic temperatures.

  The Alvarez-type post-stripper DTL at GSI accelerates intense ion beams with A/q <= 8.5 from 1.4 to 11.4 MeV/u. After more than 45 years of operation it suffers from aging and its design does not meet the requirements of the upcoming FAIR project. The design of a new 108 MHz Alvarez-type DTL has been completed and series components for the 55 m long DTL are under production. In preparation, a first cavity section as First of Series has been operated at nominal RF-parameters. Additionally, a prototype drift tube with internal pulsed quadrupole has been built and operated at nominal parameters successfully. High quality of copper-plating of large components and add-on parts has been achieved within the ambitious specifications. This contribution summarizes the current project status of Alvarez 2.0 at GSI and sketches the future path to completion.

TUPORI04 Cavity Failure Compensation Strategies in Superconducting Linacs linac, cryomodule, database, lattice 552
 
  • A. Plaçais, F. Bouly
    LPSC, Grenoble Cedex, France
 
  RF cavities in linear accelerators are subject to failure, preventing the beam from reaching it’s nominal energy. This is particularly problematic for Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS), where the thermal fluctuations of the spallation target must be avoided and every fault shall be rapidly compensated for. In this study we present LightWin. This tool under development aims to create a database of the possible cavity failures and their associated compensation settings for a given accelerator. We apply it on the MYRRHA ADS, with a scenario including various faults distributed along the accelerator, and compare the settings found by LightWin to those found by the code TraceWin. We show that both tools find different compensation settings. We also outline the limitations of LightWin and explain the upcoming improvements.

  As various experimental reactors in Europe are already or will be decommissioned over the next years, new neutron sources will be necessary to meet the demand for neutrons in research and development. The High Brilliance Neutron Source is an accelerator driven neutron source planned at the Forschungszentrum Jülich. The accelerator will accelerate a proton beam of 100 mA up to an end energy of 70 MeV, using 45 normal conducting CH-type cavities. Due to the high beam current, the beam dynamics concept requires special care. In this paper, the current status of the beam dynamics for the drift tube linac is presented.

TUPORI06 Harmonic Bunch Formation and Optional RFQ Injection rfq, emittance, space-charge, injection 559
 
  • E. Sunar, U. Ratzinger, M. Syha, R. Tiede
    IAP, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
 
  With the aim of reduced beam emittances, a pre-bunching concept into an RFQ or a DTL has been developed. The structure has been designed by using a two harmonics double drift buncher which consists of two bunchers: the first one is driven by a fundamental frequency whereas the other is ex- cited with the second harmonic including a drift in between. This well-known "Harmonic Double-Drift-Buncher" is rein- vestigated under space charge conditions for RFQ, cyclotron, and for direct DTL-injection. There are significant benefits for this design such as to catch as many particles as possible from a dc beam into the longitudinal linac acceptance, or to reduce/optimize by up to an order of magnitude the lon- gitudinal emittance for low and medium beam currents. In accordance to these advantages, a new multi-particle track- ing beam dynamics code has been developed which is called "Bunch Creation from a DC beam - BCDC". In this paper we present this new code and some stimulating examples.

  Medical and industrial electron linacs can benefit from the X-band accelerating technology developed for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) at CERN. However, when high-intensity beams are injected in such high-gradient structures (>35 MV/m), the beam loading effect must be considered by design since this beam-cavity interaction can result in a considerable gradient reduction with respect to the unloaded case. Studying energy conservation, a partial differential equation (PDE) has been derived for injected beams, in both the relativistic and ultrarelativistic limit. Making use of this, a specific simulation package within RF-track has been developed, allowing realistic tracking of charged particle bunches under this effect regardless of their initial velocity. The performance of such tool has been assessed by reproducing previously obtained beam loaded fields in CLIC main linac and CLIC Drive-Beam linac structures. In this paper we present the analytic PDE derivation and the results of the tests.

The PSI Positron Production project (P3 or P-cubed) is a demonstrator for a novel positron source for FCC-ee. The high current requirements of future colliders can be compromised by the extremely high positron emittance at the production target and consequent poor capture and transport to the damping ring. However, recent advances in high-temperature superconductors allow for a highly efficient matching of such an emittance through the use a solenoid around the target delivering a field over 10 T on-axis. Moreover, the emittance of the matched positron beam can be contained through large aperture RF cavities surrounded by a multi-Tesla field generated by conventional superconducting solenoids, where simulations estimate a yield higher by one order of magnitude with respect to the state-of-the-art. The goal of P3 is to demonstrate this basic principle by implementing the aforementioned solenoids into a prototype positron source based on a 6 GeV electron beam from the SwissFEL linac, two RF capture cavities and a beam diagnostics section.

In this paper, we present a generalised analytical framework for beam dynamics studies and lattice designs, while incorporating longitudinal acceleration of bunches of charged particles. We study a ’FODO-like’ scheme, whereby we have an alternating array of focusing and defocusing quadrupoles and study how this differs from a standard FODO lattice due to acceleration. We present optimisation techniques to provide quadrupole parameters, cavity lengths, and required drift lengths under different constraints.

  In multi-turn Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs), the filling pattern describes the order that which bunches are injected into the ERL ring. The filling patterns and recombination schemes together can create various beam loading patterns/transients, which can have a big impact on the RF system, namely the cavity fundamental mode voltage, required RF power, and beam breakup instability. In this work, we demonstrate one can lower the cavity voltage fluctuation and rf power consumption by carefully choosing the right transient by using an analytical model and simulation.

Linear accelerators containing the sequence of independently phase cavities with constant geometrical velocity along each cavity are widely used in practice. The chain of cavities with identical cell length is utilized within a certain beam velocity range, with subsequent transformation to the next chain with higher cavity velocity. Design and analysis of beam dynamics in this type of accelerators are usually performed using numerical simulations. In the present paper, we provide an analytical treatment of beam dynamics in such linacs. Expressions connecting beam energy gain and phase slippage along the cavity are implemented. The dynamics of the beam around the reference trajectory along the accelerator and matched beam conditions are discussed.

  High-Q0 medium-velocity (beta opt = 0.6) 5-cell elliptical cavities for superconducting linacs are critical technology for advancing current and future projects such as the Proton Improvement Plan II linac and the proposed energy upgrade of Michigan State University’s Facility For Rare Isotope Beams linac, FRIB400. Previous work established the validity of the novel geometry of the FRIB400 prototype 644 MHz 5-cell elliptical β = 0.65 cavities for future high Q0 development. In collaboration with FNAL, two leading-edge high-Q0 recipes, N-doping and Mid-T baking, were tested in the 5-cell format. 2/0 N-doping + cold electropolishing was successful at achieving FRIB400 and PIP-II Q0 requirements, achieving an unprecedented 3.8 x 1010 at 17.5 MV/m, satisfying the FRIB400 Q0 requirements by 1.75 times in a low-gauss environment. Mid-T baking exceeded FRIB400 Q0 requirements by 1.4 times, and benefitted from decreased residual resistance compared to the N-doped cavity test. Systematic ultrasonic thickness measurements in single-cell revealed bulk (150 microns) EP with the modified EP tool is consistent across the inner surfaces of the cavity walls.

  The CERN Linac4 Low Level RF (LLRF) uses a Linear Gaussian Regulator and an Adaptive Feed Forward to regulate the accelerating field in the cavities in the presence of strong beam loading. A Klystron Polar Loop is also implemented to compensate the RF perturbations caused by the ripples and droop in the klystron High Voltage supply. The talk presents the important parts of the regulation, shows results as the system has evolved from first prototype (2013) to operational beams (2020), and mentions some important issues encountered during the commissioning and the first years of operation, with their mitigations.

  A new generation of normal conducting 1.3GHz RF gun was developed to provide a high-quality electron source for superconducting linac driven free-electron lasers like FLASH and European XFEL. Compared to the Gun4 series, Gun5 aims for a 50% increase of the duration of the RF pulse (up to 1 ms at 10 Hz repetition rate) combined with high gradients (up to ~60 MV/m at the cathode). In addition to the improved impedance, the new cavity is equipped with an RF probe to measure and control the amplitude and phase of the RF field inside the gun. The first prototype of the new RF gun was manufactured at DESY and installed at the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) in October 2021. In mid-October 2021 the RF conditioning began, aiming for achieving the aforementioned RF parameters. The conditioning procedure involves a slow gradual increase in repetition rate, RF pulse duration and peak power while carefully monitoring vacuum conditions and signals from interlock sensors. The results of RF conditioning will be reported.

  The 2.5 cell S-band 10 Hz repetition rate electron gun (Gun-10) for the CLARA (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications) facility underwent an upgrade during the scheduled shutdown period during the summer of 2019. The existing photocathode/back plate was replaced by a new back plate with interchangeable photocathode socket connected to a load/lock system capable of rapid exchanges of photocathode plugs. Here we outline motivation and RF design of the back plate and also detail the low power RF testing and characterisation of the upgraded gun in terms of the unloaded quality factor, the RF power coupling match, the percent field flatness and the operating frequency of the cavity, calculated from the frequency measured in the laboratory. Finally, via simulations using CST MWS and ASTRA, we produce a dependence of expected beam momentum vs forward power that we predict the gun will deliver once it goes back online.

The Electron Ion Collider requires a pre-injector linac to accelerate large electron bunches from 4 MeV up to 400 MeV over 35 m*. Currently this linac is being designed with 3 m long traveling wave structures, which provide a gradient of 16 MV/m. We propose the use of a 1 m distributed coupling design as a potential alternative and future upgrade path to this design. Distributed coupling allows power to be fed into each cavity directly via a waveguide manifold, avoiding on-axis coupling**. A distributed coupling structure at S-band was designed to optimize for shunt impedance and large aperture size. This design provides greater efficiency, thereby lowering the number of klystrons required to power the full linac. In addition, particle tracking analysis shows that this linac maintains lower emittance as bunch charge increases to 14 nC and wakefields become more prevalent. We present the design of this distributed coupling structure, as well as progress on structure manufacturing and characterization.

We will present a physics design of a compact, highly efficient, energy-tunable linac to generate up to 500 W of 10 MeV electron beam power for medical and security applications. This linac will employ a patented travelling wave accelerating structure with outside power flow which combines the advantages of high efficiency with energy tunability of traveling wave cavities. Unlike standing wave structures, the proposed structure has little power reflected back to the RF source, eliminating the need for a heavy, lossy waveguide isolator. In contrast to the side-coupled cavity designs, the proposed structure is symmetrical and therefore it does not have deflecting axial fields that impair the beam transport. The high shunt impedance will allow the linac to achieve an output energy of up to 10 MeV when powered by a compact commercial 9.3 GHz 1.7 MW magnetron. For pulse-to-pulse tuning of the beam output energy we will change of the beam-loaded gradient by varying the triode gun current.

  The regenerative Beam Break Up (BBU) excited by the dipole Higher Order Modes (HOMs) in superconducting RF (SRF) cavities is a crucial issue for continuous-wave high-current energy recovery linacs. Beam-induced monopole HOMs can increase the cryogenic losses of the linac also. One of the ways to limit these effects is to use HOM couplers on the beam tubes of cavities to absorb and untrap cavity eigenmodes. These couplers feature antennas designed to damp dangerous HOMs and adequately reject the fundamental mode. This study illustrates an investigation of the HOMs of a 5-cell 801.58 MHz elliptical SRF cavity designed for PERLE (Powerful Energy Recovery Linac for Experiments), a multi-turn energy recovery linac (ERL) currently under study and later to be hosted at IJCLab in Orsay. Time-domain wakefield and frequency-domain eigenmode simulations have been used to calculate the cavity broadband HOM impedance spectra and identify the dangerous BBU HOMs. The transmission characteristics of several coaxial HOM couplers have been studied. The efficiencies of several HOM-damping schemes have been compared to propose a HOM endgroup to be fabricated and added to the existing bare SRF cavity.

  High order modes (HOMs) in multi-cell superconducting cavities are of particular concern in beam dynamics of linear accelerators, mainly those operating in CW mode with high current and high repetition rate. These undesired modes may invoke beam instabilities, beam breakup and increase the energy spread if not correctly pulled out and damped. The study reported in this paper is applied for damping the HOMs in the main Linac of BriXSinO, an ongoing project of an Energy Recovery Linac at LASA INFN laboratory. We developed a numerical model to study the interaction of monopole HOMs with the beam in long timescale. The presented model, named HOMEN (High Order Modes Evolution based on eNergy budget), allows the evaluation of the loss factor Kloss, crucial for evaluating the perturbing modes. At the same time, electromagnetic simulations of the standing wave multicell cavity, highlighted the dangerous modes and revealed a tolerable beam energy spread induced by HOMs. This method allows us to distinguish all dangerous modes of our interest for implementing the necessary damping mechanisms.

  The goal of FLASH2020+ upgrade is to increase the energy of the FLASH accelerator, which allows the use of even shorter wavelengths, which, in turn, will allow new research. For this purpose, during the shutdown in 2022, two superconducting accelerator modules for ACC2 and ACC3 will be replaced by new ones. To fully realize the potential of these cryomodules XFEL type of waveguide distributions will be installed on them. In addition, the existing ACC4 and ACC5 cryomodules will also be equipped with the new waveguide distributions, similar XFEL type. These waveguide distributions will be modified and improved so that the machine can operate with the maximum energy due to individual power supply for each cavity. Furthermore, three RF stations will receive a new klystron waveguide distribution, which will improve the reliability of all systems. The specific waveguide distributions have been developed, produced and tested at the Waveguide Assembly and Test Facility (WATF) at DESY. All together will lead to increasing the electron beam energy from 1.25 to 1.35 GeV. This paper presents data on the production and tuning of waveguide distribution systems for the FLASH2020+ upgrade at DESY.

  The MedAustron Ion Therapy Centre is a synchrotron-based particle therapy facility, which delivers proton and carbon beams for clinical treatments. Currently, the facility treats 40 patients per day and is improving its systems and workflows to further increase this number. Although MedAustron is a young and modern center, the life-cycle of certain crucial control electronics is near end-of-life and needs to be addressed. This paper presents the 216MHz injector Low-Level Radio Frequency (iLLRF) system with option of use for the synchrotron Low-Level Radio Frequency (sLLRF - 0.4-10MHz). The developed system will unify the cavity regulation for both LLRFs and will also be used for beam diagnostics (injector/synchrotron) and RF knock-out slow extraction. The new LLRF system is based on a µTCA platform which is controlled by the MedAustron Control System based on NI-PXIe. Currently, it supports fiberoptics links (SFP+), but other links (e.g. EPICS, DOOCS) can be established. The modular implementation of this LLRF allows connections to other components, such as motors, amplifiers, or interlock systems, and will increase the robustness and maintainability of the accelerator.

  The SPIRAL2 superconducting linac has been successfully commissioned with protons in 2020. During the commissioning, a model of the cavity and its LLRF control loop has been developed. The model enables to have better understanding of the system and was used to guide the tuning of the PI(D) correctors for beam loading compensation. Here we review the development of such a tool, computed with MATLAB Simulink and using the frequency domain (Laplace transfer function) to model the cavity RF and mechanical behaviours (Lorentz detuning), as well as all elements that compose the RF control loop (digital LLRF, amplifier, transmission lines, etc.). The benchmarking of the model with measurement carried out with the proton beam is also discussed in this contribution.

Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities are used in modern particle accelerators to take advantage of their very high quality factor (Q). A higher Q means that a higher RF field can be sustained, and a higher acceleration can be produced in the cavity for length unity. However, in certain situations, e.g., too high RF field, the SRF cavities can experience quenches that risk creating damage due to the rapid increase in the heat load. This is especially negative in continuous wave (CW) operation due to the impossibility of the system to recover during the off-load period. The design goal of a quench-detection system is to protect the system without being a limiting factor during the operation. In this paper, we compare two different classification approaches for improving a quench detection system. We perform tests using traces recorded from LCLS-II and show that the ARSENAL classifier outperforms a CNN classifier in terms of accuracy.

THPOPA18 Development of a Tuner Control System for Low-Energy Superconducting Linac at RAON controls, LLRF, EPICS, cryomodule 778

We propose a tuner control system for low-energy superconducting linac at RAON. The frequency error of the superconducting cavities must be smaller than a few of Hz to operate in beam acceleration mode. To minimize the freuqency error as much as possible, the error is calculated in the low-level RF(LLRF), and the proposed tuner control system changes the superconducting cavity frequency by using a mechanical tuner and a motor attached to the cavity directly. This control system deals with not only the initial frequency error of the cavity but also the frequency drift of the cavity induced by external disturbance such as the slow fluctuation helium pressure automatically. In addition, an automatic proportional gain calibration technique is also proposed. In this paper, the detailed operation and techniques will be described.

As a part of R&D toward the RFQ based heavy ion irradiation system, the 1 MeV/n RFQ was designed, brazed, installed and commissioned by staff researchers and engineers at KOMAC of KAERI. This 1 MeV/n RFQ system includes the microwave ion source, EBIS, RFQ, quadrupole magnets, switching magnet and the target systems. The digital based Low-Level RF was developed to provide the stable accelerating field to the RFQ. This Low-Level RF has features such as direct RF detection/generation without mixer, non-IQ sampling, PI feedback control, iterative learning based feed-forward control, and the digital RF interlock. In this paper, the characteristics of Low-Level RF are described, as well as the processes and results of an initial RF driving test for the RFQ’s RF conditioning.

  LCLS-II is an X-Ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) under commissioning at SLAC, being the first Continuous Wave (CW) hard XFEL in the world to come into operation. To accelerate the electron beam to an energy of 4 GeV, 280 superconducting cavities of the TESLA types are used. A Loaded Q (QL) value of 4x107 is used to drive the cavities at a power level of a few kilowatts. For this QL value, the RF cavity bandwidth is equal to 32 Hz. Therefore, keeping the cavity resonance frequency within such bandwidth is imperative to avoid a significant increase in the required RF power. In superconducting accelerators, resonance frequency variations are produced by mechanical microphonic vibrations of the cavities. One source of microphonics noise is rotary machinery such as vacuum pumps or HVAC equipment. A possible method to reject these disturbances is to use Narrowband Active Noise Control (NANC) techniques. Such a technique was already tested at DESY/CMTB and Cornell/CBETA. This proceeding presents the implementation of a NANC controller in the LCLS-II Low Level RF (LLRF) control system. Tests on the rejection of LCLS-II microphonics disturbances are also presented.

  The JLAB LLRF 3.0 system has been developed and is replacing the 30-year-old LLRF systems in the CEBAF accelerator. The LLRF system builds upon 25 years of design and operational RF control experience (digital and analog), and our recent collaboration in the design of the LCLSII LLRF system. The new system also incorporates a cavity control algorithm using a fully functional phase and amplitude locked Self Exciting Loop (SELAP). The first system (controlling 8 cavities) was installed and commissioned in August of 2021. Since then the new LLRF system has been operating with cavity gradients up to 20 MV/m, and electron beam currents up to 350 uA. This paper discusses the operational experience of the LLRF 3.0 SELAP algorithm along with other software and firmware tools like cavity and klystron characterization and quench detection.

THPOPA26 Machine Learning Assisted Cavity Quench Identification at the European XFEL FEL, operation, software, hardware 798

    DESY, Hamburg, Germany
 
  A server-based quench detection system is used since the beginning of operation at the European XFEL (2017) to stop driving superconducting cavities if they experience a quench. While this approach effectively detects quenches, it also generates false positives, tripping the accelerating stations when failures other than quenches occur. Using the post-mortem data snapshots generated for every trip, an additional signal (referred to as residual) is systematically computed based on the standard cavity model. Following an initial training on a set of such residuals derived from quench as well as non-quench events, two independent machine learning engines analyze routinely the trip snapshots and their residuals to identify if a trip was indeed triggered by a quench or has another root cause. The outcome of the analysis is automatically appended to the data snapshots and distributed to a team of experts. This constitutes a fully deployed example of machine-learning-assisted failure classification to identify quenches, supporting experts in their daily routine of monitoring and documenting the accelerator uptime and availability.

  The sustainable next generation particle accelerators require innovative solutions to overcome the current technological challenges set by existing bulk niobium superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities. Thin film-based multilayer structures in the form of superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) may be the long-sought-after breakthrough for higher performance SRF cavities by enhancing both accelerating gradients and quality factors. In order to understand better the underlying mechanisms of SIS structures to be coated onto (S)RF cavities, we study various material properties with the resultant superconducting properties of high-power im-pulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS)-coated S(I)S structures of Nb-(AlN)-NbN with different thicknesses which are designed to be coated mainly on OFHC copper (Cu) samples for more efficient SRF cavities. This contribution presents materials properties of the aforementioned HiPIMS-coated S(I)S structures as well as the superconducting and RF behaviours of these multilayers which are assessed comparatively via DC and AC magnetization techniques.

THPOGE03 Design & Multiphysics Analysis of Three-cell, 1.3 GHz Superconducting RF Cavity for Electron Beam Accelerator to Treat Wastewater electron, accelerating-gradient, multipactoring, HOM 809
 
  • P. Kumar, A. Pathak, R. Varma

  To treat industrial effluents including contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), Irradiation treatment by electron beam accelerator has shown promising results. Our aim is to design and develop a superconducting linear electron accelerator. A 1.3 GHz, three cell conduction cooled, TM class superconducting cavity has been proposed to accelerate a 100 mA electron beam from 100 keV to 4.5 MeV. The main aim of the design is to optimize the cavity for low heat loss and high accelerating gradient. The optimized ratio of peak surface electric and magnetic field to accelerating field for cavity are Epk/Eacc= 2.72 and Hpk/Eacc= 4.11 mT/(MV/m). The optimized Geometry factor (G) and R/Q values for this cavity are 246.7 and 306.4 ohms respectively. Here we also addressed other multiphysics issues such as Lorentz force detuning (LFD), Higher order modes (HOMs) and Multipacting. The multiphysics analysis helps to estimate the degree of these challenges. The final Lorentz detuning factor of the cavity has been reduced to 0.12 Hz/(MV/m)2, HOMs of 2.18 and 2.9 GHz modes are dominating except the main mode and Multipacting phenomena is not found at 15 MV/m of accelerating gradient.

  The vertical test stand in use at Daresbury has three cavities loaded horizontally at different heights. The jacketed cavities are supplied with liquid helium from a header tank at the top of the configuration. A few cavities have been tested in different positions and the results have been analysed. The pressure of the helium inside the jacketed cavities is affected by the height of the liquid helium column above the jacket and using results from earlier analysis during cool-down enables the pressure of the cavity to be determined from the frequency of operation. Analysis of the effects may allow for corrections to the frequency to be made. In addition to the above observations there have also been some challenges in the operation at higher power as the phase of the self-excited loop driving the system, has been seen to change. This paper discusses some of the observation, analysis of those observations and challenges that are being addressed in the continuing use of this facility.

  Many current accelerators use cavities that are manufactured as two half cells that are electron beam welded together, the weld is across the peak surface current of the cavity. This weld can lead to large increases in surface resistance and limit the performance of thin film coated cavities. Many problems with the coating process for thin film Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities are also due to this weld. Thin film SRF cavities can perform as well as bulk niobium cavities if the cavity is manufactured seamlessly, without any weld, as they have a more uniform surface, however, they are much more difficult and expensive to manufacture. A cavity with a split longitudinally, parallel to the direction of the electric field, would not need to be welded. These seamless cavities are easier to manufacture and coat. This opens the possibilities to coat with new materials and multilayer coatings. These cavities may allow SRF cavities to operate at significantly better parameters (higher quality factor and maximum accelerating field) than current state of the art cavities. This work discusses development and testing of longitudinally split seamless cavities at Daresbury Laboratory.

  Research is ongoing into the use of superconducting thin films to replace bulk niobium for future radio frequency (RF) cavities. A key part of this research requires measuring the RF properties of candidate films. However, coating and testing thin films on full-sized cavities is both costly and time-consuming. Instead, films are typically deposited on small, flat samples and characterised using a test cavity. A cost-effective facility for testing such samples has recently been built and commissioned at Daresbury Laboratory. The facility allows for low power surface resistance measurements at a resonant frequency of 7.8 GHz, temperatures down to 4 K and sample surface magnetic fields up to 1 mT.

The testing and manufacturing process of the PIP-II Single Spoke Resonators Type 1 (SSR1) prototype jacketed cavity presented opportunities for refinement of the production series. Experience from the prototype cavity and the design of other cavities at Fermilab were used. The mechanical design of the production jacketed cavity has been modified from the prototype design to allow for improvements in overall performance, structural behavior, and manufacturability of the weld joints.

Currently, fine grain niobium (Nb) (grain size ~ 50 um) and large grain Nb (grain size of a few cm) are being used for the fabrication of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. Medium grain forged ingot with grain size of a few hundred um may be beneficial for cost-effectiveness as well as providing better performance for future SRF-based accelerators. Forged ingot Nb with medium grain size is a novel production method to obtain Nb discs used for the fabrication of superconducting radio frequency cavities. We have fabricated two 1.5 GHz single cell cavities made from forged Nb ingot with a residual resistivity ratio of ~100. The cavities were chemically and mechanically polished and heat-treated in the temperature range of 650-1000 C before the rf test. One of the cavities reached an accelerating gradient of 34 MV/m with a quality factor Q > 1e10, while the second cavity was limited at 14 MV/m, likely due to a weld defect at the equator.

  The International Liner Collider (ILC) requires crabbing systems to increase the luminosity of the colliding electron and positron bunches. There are several frequency options for the crabbing cavity. We have designed a 1.3 GHz compact 1-cell and 2-cell rf-dipole crabbing cavity to compensate for luminosity degradation due to large crossing angle. This paper presents the 1-cell and 2-cell cavities designed to meet the current specifications including the fundamental power coupler and higher order mode couplers.

Over the past few decades, bulk niobium (Nb) has been the material of choice for superconducting radio frequen-cy (SRF) cavities used in particle accelerators to achieve higher accelerating gradients and lower RF losses. Multi-layer (SIS) structures consisting of alternating thin layers of superconductor(S) and insulator(I) deposited on a bulk Nb have been proposed to enhance the peak surface magnetic field and sustain a higher accelerating gradient. In this study, multilayers based NbTiN and AlN deposited on bulk Nb are used to test the proposed enhancement using the DC magnetic Hall probe technique. The tech-nique detects a penetrating magnetic field through the multilayer sample as it is placed under an external mag-netic field produced by a magnetic coil. This work re-ports the characterization and measurements of the mag-netic field of full flux penetration through single layers of NbTiN and bilayers of NbTiN/AlN on bulk Nb.

  Over the last years several different approaches to increase the performance of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities by heat treatments have been developed and tested. At DESY, the R&D aims for cavities with enlarged quality factors while maintaining high accelerating gradients, since an envisaged upgrade of the European XFEL requires both. For this purpose, medium temperature (mid-T) treatments around 300 °C seem to be very promising. Lately, the furnace infrastructure at DESY was refurbished and now a niobium-retort furnace capable of carrying 1.3 GHz nine-cell cavities can be used for R&D studies. Vertical test results of single-cell cavities treated in this furnace at medium temperatures are presented and compared to four cavities treated similarly in a furnace at the company Zanon Research & Innovation Srl (Zanon). All mentioned cavities show enlarged quality factors but at the same time reduced gradients compared to their reference measurements before the mid-T treatment. The DESY treatments were accompanied by small niobium samples for surface analyses, which are also presented. Furthermore, the influence of post-treatment high pressure water rinsings is studied.

  CEA, KEK and Marui Galvanizing Company have been collaborating to apply the Vertical Electropolishing (VEP) process of elliptical SRF cavities to a 704MHz single-cell ESS-type cavity, using a rotating so called and patented "Ninja" cathode. First presented results* were promising with a gradient of 27MV/m achieved, without any heat treatment applied. The performance has been pushed further since. The cavity has undergone a heat treatment at 650°C during 10h, followed by a final VEP sequence and a baking at 120°C during 48h hours. The achieved gradient at 2K was 44MV/m (power limitation), and the quality factor Q0 exceeding 5·1010 up to 10 MV/m. The superiority of VEP compared to standard "BCP" chemical treatment is demonstrated and we intend now to scale the process to 5-Cell β=0.86 ESS cavity. We also intend to push further the performance by applying "2-step baking" (75°C and 120°C) proposed by FNAL, which was successfully applied at CEA Saclay on 1300MHz single-cell resonators with gradients above 50MV/m achieved after VEP bulk treatment.

  During commissioning and operation run in 2021-2022 the photoinjector of the CLARA-VELA facility a 2.5 cell cavity S-band photocathode gun originally developed for the APEX experiment was used. The copper back wall of the cavity also served as the gun photocathode. In order to reduce significant time required for replacement and/or reactivation of the photocathode and improve the flexibility of the injector the gun has been upgraded for operation with DESY/INFN style interchangeable photocathodes. This upgrade included a new design of the cavity back wall to accommodate the photocathode socket and equipping the gun with a load-lock system. Modification of the gun also required replacement of the bucking coil, which zeros field in the photocathode emission plane. After the upgrade, the gun was commissioned and then operated with a hybrid Cu/Mo photocathode during the last two years. During winter-spring 2022 experimental run the gun steadily operated with a cathode field of 60 MV/m, limited by the RF power available and with an off-centre diamond turned photocathode which delivered stable bunches with a charge of 100 pC.

  Maximising the accelerating gradient of RF structures is fundamental to improving accelerator facility performance and cost-effectiveness. Structures must be subjected to a conditioning process before operational use, in which the gradient is gradually increased up to the operating value. A limiting effect during this process is breakdown or vacuum arcing, which can cause damage that limits the ultimate operating gradient. Techniques to efficiently condition the cavities while minimising the number of breakdowns are therefore important. In this paper, machine learning techniques are applied to detect breakdown events in RF pulse traces by approaching the problem as anomaly detection, using a variational autoencoder. This process detects deviations from normal operation and classifies them with near perfect accuracy. Offline data from various sources has been used to develop the techniques, which we aim to test at the CLARA facility at Daresbury Laboratory. Deployment of the machine learning system on the high repetition rate gun upgrade at CLARA has begun.

  The ISAC facility uses the ISOL technique to produce radioactive ions for experiments. The post-accelerator consists of a room temperature linac (ISAC-I) and a su-perconducting linac (ISAC-II). After more than two dec-ades of beam delivery in ISAC, the RF systems have met various challenges regarding increased operation require-ments, system stability issues and performance improve-ments. This paper discusses the detailed challenges in recent years in both ISAC-I and ISAC-II. The upgrade plan or mitigation solution to address each challenge is reported respectively. A hint of the long-term vision at ISAC is also briefly described at the end of the paper.

Techniques have been developed for fast (less than one hour), fully automated tune-up a high power proton SCL, as well as fully automated recovery from a cavity failure with no human intervention. These methods have been developed and demonstrated at the SNS SCL but are applicable to hadron SCL operation in general and will be especially relevant to future ADS applications
