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.

The Next Generation Light Source (NGLS) is a design concept for a multibeamline soft x-ray FEL array powered by a CW superconducting linear accelerator, operating with a 1 MHz bunch repetition rate. This paper describes the concepts for the cavity and cryostat design operating at 1.3 GHZ and based on minimal modifications to the design of ILC cryomodules, This leverages the extensive experience derived from R&D that resulted in the ILC design. Due to the different nature of the two applications, particular attention is given now to high loaded Q operation and microphonics control, as well as high reliability and expected up time. The work describes the design and configuration of the linac, including choice of gradient, possible modes of operation, cavity design and RF power, as well as the consequent requirements for the cryogenic system.
