MOIOA04 | SRF Challenges for Energy Recovery Linacs | 24 |
|
||
Many of the challenges associated with operating a SRF ERL are independent of the choice of operating frequency, beam energy, and overall purpose of the machine. Worldwide there are an increasing number of ERLs in various stages of development and operation which are facing a number of similar challenges and often solving them in very different ways. In this talk I will seek to summarize the main challenges the community as a whole faces, address how different laboratories are working to solve these problems, and seek to identify areas of overlap where the community can work together to solve some of these common problems. | ||

MOIOB02 | Towards a 100mA Superconducting RF Photoinjector for BERLinPro | 42 |
|
||
For BERLinPro, a 100 mA CW-driven SRF energy recovery linac demonstrator facility, HZB needs to develop a photo-injector superconducting cavity which delivers a at least 1mm*mr emittance beam at high average current. To address these challenges of producing a high peak brightness beam at high repetition rate, at first HZB tested a fully superconducting injector with a lead cathode*,followed now by the design of a SC cavity allowing operation up to 4 mA using CW-modified TTF-III couplers and inserting a normal conducting high quantum efficiency cathode using the HZDR-style insert scheme. This talk will present the latest results and an overview of the measurements with the lead cathode cavity and will describe the design and optimization process, the first production results of the current design and an outlook to the further development steps towards the full power version.

THP055 | Ferrite Covered Ceramic Break HOM Damper | 1040 |
|

Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under contract no. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the DOE. The Brookhaven Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) is operated as R&D setup for high-current, high charge electron beams. It is comprised of a superconducting (SC) five-cell cavity and a half-cell SC photoinjector electron RF gun. Achieving the performance objectives requires effective HOM damping in the linac and gun cavity. Among the HOM dampers being developed is a beam-tube type HOM load for the electron gun consisting of a ceramic break surrounded by ferrite tiles. This design is innovative in its approach and achieves a variety of ends including broadband HOM damping and protection of the superconducting cavity from potential damage of the separately cooled ferrite tiles. The damper properties are described by the coupling impedance to a beam and the external Q to constrain the unloaded mode Q’s. Measured results for the gun damper at room and superconducting temperatures are presented |
