WEPEC065 | Coupled Electromagnetic-Thermal-Mechanical Simulations of Superconducting RF Cavities | 3040 |
|
||
The high magnetic and electric radio-frequency fields in superconducting microwave cavities cause heating of the inner cavity surface and generate Lorentz-forces, which deform the shape of the cavity and thereby result in a shift of the fundamental mode frequency. 3-dimensional numerical codes can create complex coupled simulations of the electromagnetic fields excited in a cavity, of heat dissipation and heat transfer, as well as of mechanical effects. In this paper we summarize our simulation results using the engineering simulation package ANSYS. |

WEPEC066 | Latest Results and Test Plans from the 100 mA Cornell ERL Injector SCRF Cryomodule | 3043 |
|
||
Cornell University has developed and fabricated a SCRF injector cryomodule for the acceleration of a high current, low emittance beam in the Cornell ERL injector prototype. This cryomodule is based on superconducting rf technology with five 2-cell rf cavities operated in the cw mode, supporting beam currents of up to 100 mA. After a rework of this cryomodule in 2009 to implement several improvements, it is now in beam operation again. In this paper we report on latest results and discuss future test plans. |
