| TUPE094 | Cooling Test of ERL HOM Absorber | 2344 |

HOM absorbers are one of the key components to determine the ERL cavity performance to reduce the HOM problem for the high current operation. When a beam line HOM damper is installed inside the cryomodule, the HOM absorber is cooled down to liquid nitrogen temperature. The RF absorber used for the HOM absorber is required to have good frequency and temperature properties at low temperature. The RF absorber was selected by permittivity and permeability measurement of some ferrites and ceramics from room temperature to 40 K. The HOM absorber is designed by optimizing the parameters such as length, thickness and position with microwave simulation codes. The HOM absorber test model was designed and fabricated to test the RF, mechanical, cooling and temperature properties. |

A prototype module including a couple of 1.3 GHz superconducting 9-cell cavities has been designed as the main linac of cERL which is the test facility to establish the basic ERL technology at KEK. The shape of 9-cell Nb structure has been optimized to accelerate a CW beam of 100 mA with sufficiently damped higher order modes (HOM) which is achieved by adopting an eccentric fluted beam pipe and a cylindrical beam pipe of a large diameter of 123 mm. Extracted HOMs are absorbed by the ferrite cylinders bonded on the copper beam pipes by HIP process. A power coupler with double disk-ceramics has been developed to transfer an RF of 20 kW CW to the cavity in full reflection. The test results of fabrication, cooling and RF performance for these components are integrated as the prototype module of the main linac for cERL facility. |

| WEPEC028 | Cavity Diagnostics using Rotating Mapping System for 1.3GHz ERL 9-Cell Superconducting Cavity | 2950 |

We are developing the superconducting (SC) cavity for Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) in Japan. In order to survey the electron emission and the heating spot of the cavity inner surface in detail, cavity diagnostics with the rotating mapping system was applied. Two types of sensors, one of which is the carbon resistor and the other is the Si PIN photo diode, were set to detect the temperature rise and electron emission. By rotating the sensor arrays around the cavity axis, a lot of information is obtained all over the cavity surface in detail. This paper reports the results of vertical tests by using this rotating mapping system with Nb 9-cell ERL cavity. |

We started to develop an input power coupler for a 1.3GHz ERL superconducting cavity for ERL main linac. Required input power is about 20kW for the cavity acceleration field of 20MV/m and the beam current of 100mA in energy recovery operation. The input coupler is designed based on the STF-BL input coupler, especially choke-mode type ceramic window was applied. After that some modifications are applied for the CW 20kW power operation. We fabricated input coupler components such as ceramic windows and bellows and carried out the high-power test of the components by using a 30kW IOT power source and a test stand constructed. |

| WEPEC030 | Results of Vertical Tests for KEK-ERL 9-cell Superconducting Cavity | 2956 |

In order to verify the technology needed for ERL main linac cavities, we fabricated a prototype of L-band 9-cell KEK-ERL superconducting cavity. For the ERL, along with high gradient and high Q-value, strong HOM damping is required. Its cell shape is optimized for the HOM damping. The cavity has large irises of 80 mm diameter, large beampipes of 120 mm and 100 mm diameter and the eccentric fluted beampipe. After a series of surface treatment, such as annealing, electro-polishing, high-pressure-rinsing and baking, several vertical tests have been performed. As for cavity diagnostics, a rotating X-ray and temperature mapping system was constructed. The cavity performance was limited to less than 20 MV/m by the field emissions. The X-ray distributions caused by field emission were clearly observed by X-ray mapping system. In this report, we summarize the recent results of the vertical tests. |

| WEPEC031 | Observation of Resonance Mode in Coaxial-type Input Coupler | 2959 |
|

The coaxial-type input couplers are frequently used for accelerators, since it can successfully propagate high power of RF. Thus we have been developing the coaxial-type input coupler for ERL main linac, operated at 1.3 GHz. When performing high power test of its component, however, we suffered from the heat load due to unexpected loss. A resonance just around 1.3 GHz was found from the low-level measurement. In order to investigate the cause of that resonance, precise calculation was done with MW-studio and HFSS codes. Both codes showed one of dipole modes exists at around 1.3 GHz, near coaxial ceramic window. Details of the mode were further investigated. It showed that the resonant frequency of it depends on, for example, the thickness of the ceramic, the permittivity of the ceramic, and the sizes of inner and outer conductors. In this report, we summarize the experimental observations and the some results from the calculations. |

Future synchrotron light source using a 5-GeV-class energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal by our Japanese collaboration team, and we are conducting active R&D efforts for that. We are developing super-brilliant DC photocathode guns, two types of cryomodules for both injector and main superconducting linacs, 1.3 GHz high CW-power rf sources, and other important components. We are also constructing a compact ERL for demonstrating the recirculation of low-emittance, high-current beams using those key components. We present our recent progress in this project. |
