  The European Spallation Source, currently under construction in Lund Sweden, will be a spallation neutron source driven by a superconducting proton linac with a design power of 5 MW. The linac features a high peak current of 62.5 mA and long pulse length of 2.86 ms with a repetition rate of 14 Hz. The normal conducting part of the linac has been undergoing beam commissioning in multiple steps, and the main focus of the beam commissioning has been on bringing systems into operation, including auxiliary ones. In 2022, beam was transported to the end of the first tank of the five-tank drift tube linac. This paper provides a summary of the beam commissioning activities at ESS and the current status of the linac.

  The existing post-stripper DTL of the GSI UNILAC will be replaced with the new Alvarez 2.0 DTL to serve as the injector chain for the Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). The 108.4 MHz Alvarez 2.0 DTL with a total length of 55 meters has an input energy of 1.36 MeV/u and the output energy is 11.32 MeV/u. The presented First-of-Series (FoS) cavity section with 11 drift tubes and a total length of 1.9 m is the first part of the first cavity of the Alvarez 2.0 DTL. After copper plating and assembly of the cavity the RF-conditioning started in July 2021. These proceeding gives an overview on the results of the successfully RF-conditioning to reach the necessary gap voltage for uranium operation including a comfortable safety margin.

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.

  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.

  We are studying feasibility of a compact neutron source with a lithium-ion beam driver. The neutron source com-prises a laser ion source, an RFQ linac, and an IH-DTL. Recently, we demonstrated 35-mA 7Li3+ ion beam acceler-ation by an RFQ linac with a laser ion source. Based on the result, we performed beam dynamic design of an IH-DTL to accelerate the lithium-ion beam to the energy required for the neutron production, 14 MeV. To obtain a realistic field distribution, we made a rough model of the IH-DTL cavity with Microwave studio. It was confirmed with GPT 3D beam simulation that 1.7-m and 200-kW IH-DTL with two triplets can accelerate 30-mA 7Li3+ beam.

  The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) linac beam pulse, generated by a beam chopper system placed at the MEBT, comprises a series of intermediate pulses with a comb-like structure synchronized with the radio-frequency of the rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS). The sequentially measuring and monitoring the comb-like beam pulse ensures the beam stability with less beam loss at the current operation and higher beam intensity scenarios at the J-PARC. However, signal processing as a function of the pulse structure is challenging using a general-purpose digitizer, and monitoring the entire macro pulse during the beam operation is unavailable. To this end, an advanced beam monitor digitizer complying with the MicroTCA.4 (MicroTelecommunications Computing Architecture.4) standard, including digital signal processing functions, has been developed. This paper reports the implementation, performance evaluation, and the first results of this unique beam monitor digitizer.

  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.

MOPORI26 Limits on Standing Wave Cavity Performance Due to Thermal Effects cavity, simulation, linac, proton 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.

  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 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.

At Korea Multipurpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC), we have been operating a 100 MeV linac consisting of 11 DTLs with several beam position monitors (BPMs) and steering magnets installed for the orbit correction of the proton beam. The orbit correction can be performed through the response matrix between the position measurements from the BPMs and the field strength of the steering magnets. In this work, we will show the calculated response matrix from the simulation results, and describe the detailed plans for the implementation of the orbit correction in the real linac system at KOMAC.

  The muon linac project for the precise measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments, which is currently one of the hottest issues of the elementary particle physics, is in progress at J-PARC. The muons from the J-PARC muon facility are once cooled to room temperature, then accelerated up to 212 MeV with a normalized emittance of 1.5 pi mm mrad and a momentum spread of 0.1%. Four types of accelerating structures are adopted to obtain the efficient acceleration with a wide beta range from 0.01 to 0.94. The project is moving into the construction phase. They already demonstrated the re-acceleration scheme of the decelerated muons using a 324-MHz RFQ in 2017. The high-power test of the 324-MHz Interdigital H-mode (IH) DTL using a prototype cavity will be performed in 2021. The fabrication of the first module of 14 modules of the 1296-MHz Disk and Washer (DAW) CCL will be done to confirm the production process. Moreover, the final design of the travelling wave accelerating structure for the high beta region is also proceeding. In this presentation, the recent progress toward the realization of the world first muon linac will be presented.

  New neutron sources are needed both for Canada and internationally as access to reactor based neutrons shrinks. Compact Accelerator-based Neutron Sources (CANS) offer the possibility of an intense source of pulsed neutrons with a capital cost significantly lower than spallation sources. In an effort to close the neutron gap in Canada a prototype, Canadian compact accelerator-based neutron source (PC-CANS) is proposed for installation at the University of Windsor. The PC-CANS is envisaged to serve two neutron science instruments, a boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) station and a beamline for fluorine-18 radioisotope production for positron emission tomography (PET). To serve these diverse applications of neutron beams, a linear accelerator solution is selected, that will provide 10 MeV protons with a peak current of 10 mA within a 5% duty cycle. The accelerator is based on an RFQ and DTL with a post-DTL pulsed kicker system to simultaneously deliver macro-pulses to each end-station. Several choices of Linac technology are being considered and a comparison of the choices will be presented.
