MOPOJO12	Design of a Compact Linac for High Average Power Radiotherapy	cavity, linac, coupling, gun	53
	C.D. Nantista, G.B. Bowden, Z. Li, M. Shumail, S.G. Tantawi SLAC, Menlo Park, California, USA B.W. Loo Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA
	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.

Argonne National Laboratory and RadiaBeam have designed the Advanced Compact Carbon Ion Linac (ACCIL) for the acceleration of carbon an proton beams up to the energies of 450 MeV/u, required for image-guided hadron therapy. Recently, this project has been enhanced with the capability of fast tumour tracking and treatment through the 4D spot scanning technique. Such solution offers a promising approach to simultaneously reduce the cost and improve the quality of the treatment. In this paper, we report the design of an accelerating structure, capable of operating up to 1000 pulses per second. The linac utilizes an RF pulse compressor for use with commercially available klystrons, which will dramatically reduce the price of the system.

MOPOGE06	Automatic RF Conditioning of S-Band Cavities for Commercial Proton Therapy Linacs	cavity, vacuum, controls, linac	154
	S. Benedetti, M. Cerv, S. Magnoni, J.L. Navarro Quirante, S.G. Soriano AVO-ADAM, Meyrin, Switzerland
	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.

	M. Boronat, H. Bursali, N. Catalán Lasheras, A. Grudiev, G. McMonagle, I. Syratchev CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
	The X-Band test facilities at CERN have been running for some years now qualifying CLIC structure prototypes but also developing and testing high power general-purpose X-Band components, used in a wide range of applications. Driven by operational needs, several components have been redesigned and tested aiming to optimize the reliability and the compactness of the full system and therefore enhancing the accessibility of this technology inside and outside CERN. To this extent, a new high-power RF-window has been designed and tested aiming to avoid unnecessary venting of high-power sections already conditioned, easing the interventions, and protecting the klystrons. A new spiral load prototype has also been designed, built, and tested, optimizing the compactness, and improving the fabrication process. In these pages, the design and manufacturing for each component will be shortly described, along with the last results on the high-power testing.

TU1AA04	SWELL and Other SRF Split Cavity Development	cavity, HOM, 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.

THPOJO16	High Efficiency Traveling Wave Linac With Tunable Energy	linac, gun, electron, cavity	727

	Funding: US DOE Research Opportunities in Accelerator Stewardship DE-FOA-0002463 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.

THPOPA01	FLASH2020+ Upgrade - Modification of RF Power Waveguide Distribution for the Free-electron Laser FLASH at DESY	cryomodule, cavity, klystron, FEL	747
	B. Yildirim, S. Choroba, V.V. Katalev, P. Morozov, Y. Nachtigal, N.V. Vladimirov DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	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 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.
