MOP014 | Cold Tests of SSR1 Resonators for PXIE | 112 |
|
||
Fermilab is currently building the Project X Injector experiment (PXIE). PXIE linac will accelerate 1 mA H− beam up to 30 MeV and serve as a testbed for validation of Project X concepts and mitigation of technical risks. A cryomodule of eight superconducting RF Single Spoke Resonators of type 1 (SSR1) cavities operating at 325 MHz is an integral part of PXIE. Ten SSR1 cavities were manufactured in industry and delivered to Fermilab. In this paper we discuss surface processing and tests of bare SSR1 cavities at the Fermilab Vertical Test Stand (VTS). We report on the measured performance parameters of nine cavities achieved during tests. | ||
MOP015 | Status of the SRF Development for the Project X | 117 |
|
||
Project X is a high intensity proton facility being developed to support a world-leading program of Intensity Frontier physics over the next two decades at Fermilab. The proposed facility is based on the SRF technology and consists of two linacs: CW linac to accelerate beam from 2.1 MeV to 3 GeV and pulsed linac accelerate 5% of the beam up to 8 GeV. In a CW linac five families of SC cavities are used: half-wave resonators (162.5 MHz); single-spoke cavities: SSR1 and SSR2 (325 MHz) and elliptical 5-cell β=0.6 and β=0.9 cavities (650 MHz). Pulsed 3-8 GeV linac linac are based on 9-cell 1.3 GHz cavities. In the paper the basic requirements and the status of development of SC accelerating cavities, auxiliaries (couplers, tuners, etc.) and cryomodules are presented as well as technology challenges caused by their specifics. | ||
FRIOB02 | Development and Performance of 325 MHz Single Spoke Resonators for Project X | 1187 |
|
||
Funding: Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. De-AC02-07CH11359 with the United States Department of Energy. Two types of single spoke resonators will be utilized for beam-acceleration in the low energy part of the Project X linac. SSR1 and SSR2 operate at 325 MHz and at an optimal beta of 0.22 and 0.51 respectively. After the initial phase of prototyping, a production run of 10 SSR1 resonators was recently completed in US industry. The qualification of this group of resonators in the Fermilab VTS is proceeding successfully and nearly complete. The first qualified resonator has been outfitted with a Stainless Steel helium vessel. Preliminary test results for the first jacketed SSR1 are presented. The first RF power couplers were ordered, the design of the double-lever tuning mechanism is almost complete. |
