THPPO009 | Input Coupler for Main Linac of Cornell ERL | 543 |
|
||
Main linac cryomodule of the Cornell ERL consists of 7-cell cavities operating at 1300 MHz in CW mode. Each cavity has a single coaxial type input coupler with fixed coupling, Qext = 2×107. The input coupler will operate at RF power up to 5 kW at full reflection. The coupler design is based on the design of TTF-III input coupler with appropriate modifications and with taking into account the Cornell experience with couplers for ERL Injector. Unlike that of the TTF-III coupler, the cold assembly of the ERL main linac input coupler does not have bellows, which makes it stiff so the antenna orientation is not changing during cool down. Mechanical flexibility, necessary to accommodate large lateral movement of the cavity inside the vacuum vessel during cool down, is achieved by using two bellows insertions both in inner and outer tubes of warm coaxial line. The inner tube of the warm coaxial line is cooled with air to improve power handling capability. |

The collaborative development of an optimised cavity/cryomodule solution for application on ERL facilities has now progressed to final assembly and testing of the cavity string components and their subsequent cryomodule integration. This paper outlines the testing and verification processes for the various cryomodule sub-components and details the methodology utilised for final cavity string integration. The paper also highlights the modifications required to integrate this new cryomodule into the existing ALICE cryo-plant facility at Daresbury Laboratory. |
