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. | ||
THP080 | SRF Cavity Tuning for Low Beam Loading | 1110 |

The design of 5-cell elliptical 650 MHz β=0.9 cavities to accelerate H− beam of 1 mA average current in the range 467-3000 MeV for the Project X Linac is currently under development at Fermilab. The low beam current enables cavities to operate with high loaded Q’s and low bandwidth, making them very sensitive to microphonics. Mechanical vibrations and the Lorentz force can drive cavities off resonance during operation; therefore the proper design of the tuning system is very important part of cavity mechanical design. In this paper we review the design, performance, operation, reliability and cost of fast and slow tuners for 1.3 GHz elliptical cavities. We also present a design of the slow and fast tuners for 650 MHz β=0.9 cavities based on this experience. The HV in the new design is equipped with the tuners located at the end of the cavity instead of the initially proposed blade tuner located in the middle. We will present the results of ANSYS analyses of mechanical properties of tuners. | ||
