MOIOB02 | Towards a 100mA Superconducting RF Photoinjector for BERLinPro | 42 |
|
||
For BERLinPro, a 100 mA CW-driven SRF energy recovery linac demonstrator facility, HZB needs to develop a photo-injector superconducting cavity which delivers a at least 1mm*mr emittance beam at high average current. To address these challenges of producing a high peak brightness beam at high repetition rate, at first HZB tested a fully superconducting injector with a lead cathode*,followed now by the design of a SC cavity allowing operation up to 4 mA using CW-modified TTF-III couplers and inserting a normal conducting high quantum efficiency cathode using the HZDR-style insert scheme. This talk will present the latest results and an overview of the measurements with the lead cathode cavity and will describe the design and optimization process, the first production results of the current design and an outlook to the further development steps towards the full power version.

MOP086 | Integration, Commissioning and Cryogenics Performance of the ERL Cryomodule Installed on ALICE-ERL Facility at STFC Daresbury Laboratory, UK | 349 |
|
||
On successful assembly and preliminary testing of an optimised SRF cryomodule for application on ERL accelerators, which is being developed through an international collaboration the cryomodule has been installed on the 35 MeV ALICE (Accelerators and Lasers in Combined Experiments) Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) facility at STFC Daresbury Laboratory. Existing cryogenic infrastructure has a capacity to deliver approximately 120 W cooling power at 2 K, but the HOM (Higher Order Mode) absorbers, the thermal intercepts for the high power RF couplers and the radiation shield in the cryomodule are designed to be cooled (to 5 K and 80 K) with gaseous helium instead of liquid nitrogen. As a result the cryogenic infrastructure for ALICE had to be modified to meet these additional requirements. In this paper we describe our experience with the process of integration and the cryogenic commissioning, and present some initial results. | ||
TUP053 | Estimation of Small Geometry Deviation for TESLA-Shape Cavities Due to Inner Surface Polishing | 537 |
|
||
Two well know polishing methods are used for the inner surface cleaning of superconducting TESLA-shape cavities: electro-polishing (EP) or buffered chemical polishing (BCP). The amount of removed material is relatively small and varies from 10 till 140 um. The cavity after polishing is closed to prevent the scratches or dust appearing on its inner surface. The estimation of the removed material amount is possible by different criteria, for example by comparison of weight before and after cleaning, or by the time - cleaning procedure duration. Both calculations could give us only approximate average value of the removed material amount. We describe the method for estimation of small geometry deviation basing on RF frequency measurements, which allows calculating the different influence of surface treatment on the iris and equator areas. | ||

THP059 | HOM Coupler Design Adjustment for CW operation of the 1.3 GHz 9-cell TESLA Type SRF Cavity | 1051 |
|
||
One of the key features of a modern research facility is its versatility, ability to adjust for a multitude of the applications and user needs. A challenge for the coming European XFEL is to become a multipurpose laboratory with a broad applications spectrum. Primarily, the XFEL is a pulsed machine. Encompassing the CW mode would be a worthy addition. CW operation of the 1.3GHz 9-cell TESLA Type SRF Cavity was performed several times at DESY and other Labs successfully. One of the difficulties was a heat load of the High Order Mode (HOM) couplers. To amend this HOM coupler design adjustement is proposed, simulated and modelled. Results are presented and discussed. | ||
THP086 | LLRF System Design and Performance for XFEL Cryomodules Continuous Wave Operation | 1129 |
|
||
The Cryomodule Test Bench (CMTB) at DESY is equipped with a 100 kW Inductive Output Tube (IOT) allowing the test of superconducting cryomodules in continuous wave (CW) operation mode. Although significantly different from the nominal pulsed operation mode of the European X-Ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL), CW operation can be handled by the same Low-level Radio Frequency (LLRF) system, within minor firmware modifications. The hardware details of the LLRF setup at CMTB, the firmware and software architecture and performance results from the last CW test are presented in this contribution. | ||
