Funding: U. S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357 Work is underway to improve the reilability and power handling capability of input couplers used in the Advanced Photon Source single-cell and five-cell cavities. Coupler performance during conditioning in a test cavity suggests that ceramic material defects and field enhancement caused by a mechanical gap in the coupler design may be responsible for past coupler failures at high power. Simulation results and high-power test data will be discussed. |
