The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade Project (APS-U) at Argonne will include generation of short-pulse x-rays based on Zholents’ [1] deflecting cavity scheme. We have chosen superconducting (SC) cavities in order to have a continuous train of crabbed bunches and flexibility of operating modes. Since early 2012, in collaboration with Jefferson National Laboratory, we have made significant progress prototyping and testing a number of single-cell deflecting cavities. We have designed, prototyped, and tested silicon carbide as damping material for higher-order-mode (HOM) dampers, which are broadband to handle the HOM power across the frequency spectrum produced by the APS beam. In collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, we have developing a state-of-the-art timing and synchronization system for distributing stable rf signals over optical fiber capable of achieving tens of femtoseconds phase drift and jitter. Collaboration with the Advanced Computations Department at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is looking into simulations of complex, multi- cavity geometries. This contribution provides a progress report on the current R&D status of the SPX project.

A set of superconducting deflecting cavities were studied for the APS Upgrade. A TM-mode baseline deflecting cavity design has been developed and prototyped, while an alternative design based on a TE-like mode is being studied. Waveguide field probes associated with the baseline and alternative superconducting deflecting cavities are explored as beam position and tilt monitoring diagnostics. Microwave Studio was used to simulate the technique of detecting the fields excited by a Gaussian bunch passing through the cavities to determine beam position relative to the electrical center. Probes installed on the horizontal midplane in the beam pipe are promising diagnostics for monitoring beam position and tilt in both designs. The probes in the power coupler also work as beam position monitors for the alternative deflecting cavities.
