MOP261 | A Test Facility for MEIC ERL Circulator Ring Based Electron Cooler Design | electron, FEL, cathode, kicker | 219 |

Funding: * Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177 and DE-AC02-06CH11357. An electron cooling facility which is capable to deliver a beam with energy up to 55 MeV and average current up to 1.5 A at a high bunch repetition rate up to 750 MHz is required for MEIC. The present cooler design concept is based on a magnetized photo-cathode SRF gun, an SRF ERL and a compact circulator ring. In this paper, we present a proposal of a test facility utilizing the JLab FEL ERL for a technology demonstration of this cooler design concept. Beam studies will be performed and supporting technologies will also be developed in this test facility |

THO3B02 | SRF Technology Challenge and Development | cavity, linac, HOM, ion | 536 |
|
|||
SRF technology in particle accelerators is in continuous evolution, providing a large variety of high gradient- low loss resonators with large apertures, suitable for many different beam current and energy regimes. Recent development was aiming not only at highest gradient and Q but also at improving field quality, reliability and cost reduction for large production. The SRF R&D effort, once concentrated mostly in the high energy electron machines, is increasingly focused to heavy ion linacs, energy recovery linacs and also to cavities for special applications. A concise overview of the present state of the art will be given. | |||

THO3B03 | SRF Cavity Research for Project X | cavity, linac, cryomodule, proton | 541 |

Project X is a new SRF linac based multi-MW class proton source proposed for construction at Fermilab. It consists of a 3 MW, 1 mA CW H− SRF linac that feeds an intensity frontier Physics program and a 3-8 GeV pulsed linac that accelerates ~5% of the output of the CW linac to 8 GeV for injection into the Fermilab Main Injector synchrotron resulting in an additional 2 MW of beam power at 60-120 GeV in support of a world class long baseline neutrino program. The project has chosen operating frequencies that are sub-harmonics of 1.3 GHz and is developing 6 separate cavity designs for acceleration of H− particles with various velocities. An R&D program is in progress to develop these cavities; the associated cryomodules; and the required fabrication and test infrastructure. A status and progress report on this R&D program will be presented. | |||
