Fermilab is currently building the Project X Injector experiment (PXIE). PXIE linac will accelerate 1 mA H⁻ beam up to 30 MeV and serve as a testbed for validation of Project X concepts and mitigation of technical risks. A cryomodule of eight superconducting RF Single Spoke Resonators of type 1 (SSR1) cavities operating at 325 MHz is an integral part of PXIE. Ten SSR1 cavities were manufactured in industry and delivered to Fermilab. In this paper we discuss surface processing and tests of bare SSR1 cavities at the Fermilab Vertical Test Stand (VTS). We report on the measured performance parameters of nine cavities achieved during tests.

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.

A quench in SRF cavities is a thermal runaway process that causes a rapid loss of the stored RF energy. A quench is one of the factors that limits performance of the cavity. We have developed a comprehensive model describing the thermal and electromagnetic dynamics in the quench zone of an SRF cavity. The model has already provided us with insights essential to improved performance of SRF cavities. The predicted size of the hot spot that emits 2nd-sound during the quench is important for the Oscillating Sound Transducer (OST) quench detection technique; the maximum size of the normal zone formed during the quench determines cavity quality degradation; anomalous RF decay time distinguishes a real quench from other mechanisms of sudden loss of RF power in the cavities. We describe the model, discuss the most important results and compare them to experimental data.

We report the first test results of several 650 MHz single cell niobium cavities processed at Fermilab. The target for the 5-cell 650 MHz cavities for Project X is CW operation at magnetic peak field ~ 60-70 mT, making high quality factors at medium accelerating fields the main goal of the surface processing R&D. We will discuss how the performance vary with the different surface processing and parameters/criteria of choice for the final surface preparation sequence.

Utilization of a superconducting traveling wave accelerating (STWA) structure with small phase advance per cell for future high energy linear colliders may provide accelerating gradient 1.2/1.4 times larger [1] than standing wave structure. However, the STWA structure requires a feedback waveguide [1]. Recent tests of 1.3 GHz model of a single-cell cavity with waveguide feedback demonstrated an accelerating gradient comparable to the gradient in a single-cell ILC-type cavity from the same manufacturer [2]. In the present paper a design for a STWA resonator with a 3-cell accelerating cavity for high gradient tests is considered. Methods to create and support the traveling wave in this structure are discussed. The results of detailed studies of the mechanical and tuning properties of the superconducting resonator with 3-cell traveling wave accelerating structure are also presented.

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.

Analysis of High Order Modes in 1.3 GHz CW SRF Electron Linac for a Light Source

Design of a Light Source (LS) based on the continuous wave superconducting RF (CW SRF) electron linac is currently underway. This facility will provide soft coherent X-ray radiation for a broad spectrum of basic research applications. Quality of the X-ray laser radiation is affected by the electron beam parameters such as the stability of the transverse beam position and longitudinal and transverse beam emittances. High order modes (HOMs) excited in the SRF structures by a passing beam may deteriorate the beam quality and affect the beam stability. Deposition of HOM energy in the walls of SRF cavities adds to the heat load of the cryogenic system and leads to the increased cost of building and operation of the linac. In this paper we evaluate effects of HOMs in an LS CW SRF linac based on Tesla-type 9-cell 1.3 GHz cavities. We analyze non-coherent losses and resonance excitation of HOMs. We estimate heat load due to the very high frequency HOMs. We study influence of the HOMs on the transverse beam dynamics.

A new quarter-wave coaxial detachable coupler that preserves the axial symmetry of the cavity geometry and rf field of the 1.3 GHz superconducting cavity has been designed by Euclid Techlabs. A flange with superconducting joint is placed at the zero magnetic field region on the beam tube for the connection between coupler and the cavity. This design also enables processing coupler separately. Update on the engineering design, fabrication process will be reported. The rf test of the coaxial detachable coupler with a single cell cavity is scheduled at the end of 2013.

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.

Two types of single spoke resonators will be utilized for beam-acceleration in the low energy part of the Project X linac. SSR1 and SSR2 operate at 325 MHz and at an optimal beta of 0.22 and 0.51 respectively. After the initial phase of prototyping, a production run of 10 SSR1 resonators was recently completed in US industry. The qualification of this group of resonators in the Fermilab VTS is proceeding successfully and nearly complete. The first qualified resonator has been outfitted with a Stainless Steel helium vessel. Preliminary test results for the first jacketed SSR1 are presented. The first RF power couplers were ordered, the design of the double-lever tuning mechanism is almost complete.
