Funding: This work is supported by the National Science Foundation. Cornell University is developing an Energy-Recovery-Linac driven x-ray light source. One of the major components of this accelerator will be its 5 GeV superconducting main linac. The design of the superconducting RF cavities in this main linac has been optimized primarily for two objectives: (1) low RF losses from the accelerating mode to minimize refrigeration cost and (2) strong Higher-Order-Mode damping to preserve low emittance and prevent beam break-up at high beam current (100 mA). In this paper we study the robustness of this optimized cavity design with respect to small cell shape fluctuations from fabrication errors. |
