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 Upgrade calls for the installation of a two-cavity cryomodule in the APS ring to study cavity-beam interaction, including HOM damping and cavity timing and synchronization. Design of this cryomodule is underway at Jefferson Lab in collaboration with the APS Upgrade team at ANL. The cryomodule design faces several challenges including tight spacing to fit in the APS ring, a complex set of cavity waveguides including HOM waveguides and dampers enclosed in the insulating vacuum space, and tight alignment tolerances due to the APS high beam-current (up to 150 mA). Given these constraints, special focus has been put on modifying existing CEBAF-style designs, including a cavity tuner and alignment scheme, to accommodate these challenges. The thermal design has also required extensive work including coupled thermal-mechanical simulations to determine the effects of cool-down on both alignment and waveguides. This work will be presented and discussed in this paper.

  Abstract Jefferson Lab in Newport News, Virginia, in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Il, has fabricated and tested three production, 2.815 GHz crab cavities for Argonne’s Short-Pulse X-ray project. These cavities are unique in that the cavity and waveguides were milled from bulk large grain niobium ingot material directly from 3D CAD files. No forming of sub components was used with the exception of the beam-pipes. The cavity and helium vessel design along with the RF performance requirements makes this project extremely challenging for fabrication. Production challenges and fabrication techniques as well as testing results will be discussed in this paper.
