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. * A. Zholents et al., NIM A 425, 385 (1999). ** A.

THP029 | Simulation of Mechanical Resonances of SRF Cavities in Low Beam Current CW Operation | 962 |
|

The low beam current for CW operation of the Project X requires cavities to be mechanically optimized to operate at a high loaded Q and thus, low bandwidth with higher sensitivity to microphonics. The essential source of microphonics detuning is fluctuations in the helium pressure df/dp. Last year’s several methods for reducing df/dp has been proposed. One of the other possible sources of RF frequency instability is mechanical resonances. The cavity could be driven out of operating frequency by the mechanical deformations due to vibrations caused by external factors. In this paper we present the COMSOL multiphysics algorithm developed for evaluation of operating frequency shift due to mechanical resonances in SC cavities. We discuss the results of simulations for 5-cell elliptical 650 MHz β=0.9 cavities. The comparison of COMSOL simulations and measurements of ILC type cavities in Horizontal Test Stand at Fermilab is presented. | ||
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. | ||
