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 short pulse x-ray (SPX) part of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) Upgrade is an effort to enhance time-resolved experiments on a few-ps-scale at the APS. The goal of SPX is the generation of short pulses of x-rays for pump-probe time-resolved capability using superconducting rf (SRF) deflecting cavities*. These cavities will create a correlation between longitudinal position in the electron bunch and vertical momentum**. The light produced by this bunch can be passed through a slit to produce a pulse of light much shorter (1-2 ps instead of 100 ps) than the bunch length at reduced flux. An SPX cavity has been tested with a helium vessel and tuner. In addition to studying rf performance with more realistic cooling, this test allowed integration and operation of many systems designed for SPX cryomodule in-ring operation. These systems included an APS-constructed 5 kW, 2.815 GHz amplifier, a digital low-level rf controller system designed and fabricated in collaboration with LBNL, a cavity tuner, and instrumentation systems designed for the existing APS infrastructure. Cavity performance and subsystem performance will be reported and discussed in this paper.

Short Pulse X-ray beamlines occupy a limited number of sectors after the APS Upgrade. The majority of APS users will not participate in the SPX experiment. As user operation requires the best beam availability, it is important that any SPX-related circuit trip that requires the extinguishment of rf power should not affect overall beam availability. As such, it is necessary to de-couple the SRF cavities from beam when such an rf trip happens. An example of such trip is that the rf window arcing has to be stopped within 1 ms, before serious damage occurs to the ceramic. As the rf amplifier shuts down the rf output, beam-driven cavity power has to be reduced, too. If cavity can be detuned fast enough and far enough away from its resonance, the beam does not have to be aborted. The SPX0 tuner is equipped with a fast response Piezo actuator in the cavity tuner stack. Such a Piezo may be able to provide a quick jolt of the cavity to provide detuning capability for the purpose of maintaining the beam in the event of an rf trip. In this paper, we describe the experimental setup and results obtained, and discuss its effectiveness for beam operation.
