MOPO026 | The Resonance Frequency Shift After Applying the Cooling System for a Side Coupled Standing Wave Linac | cavity, controls, electron, radio-frequency | 81 |
|
|||
A radio frequency accelerator tube used in linear medical accelerators includes three main sections of the radio frequency cavity, an electron gun and the X-ray target, which is vacuumed by a pump inside it. The electromagnetic energy loss in the structure of the cavity can increase the temperature of the tube, resulting in changes in the geometric dimensions and then changes in some of the cavity characteristics, such as the resonance frequency. A cooling system is required to prevent excessive change in the resonant frequency due to thermal loss. Also, it is necessary to perform some computer simulations to stabilize the cavity’s performance in the presence of electromagnetic energy thermal dissipation and the cooling system. In this paper, the simulation results of resonant frequency shifts after applying the cooling system have been reported. | |||

MOPO039 | Status Update of the Fast Energy Corrector Cavity at FLASH | cavity, electron, laser, free-electron-laser | 112 |
|
|||
Funding: The work is part of EuCARD-2, partly funded by the European Commission, GA 312453. Linear accelerator facilities driving a free-electron laser require femtosecond precision synchronization between external laser systems and the electron beam. Such high precision is required for pump-probe experiments and also for example for the electron bunch injection into a plasma bubble for laser plasma acceleration. An upgrade of the fast intra-train beam-based feedback system is planned at the Free-Electron Laser FLASH in Hamburg, Germany. This linear accelerator is based on superconducting (SRF) technology operating with pulse trains of maximum 1 MHz bunch repetition rate. Arrival time fluctuations of the electron beam are correctable by introducing small energy modulations prior to the magnetic bunch compressor. This contribution focuses on the design and the characterization of a normal-conducting RF (NRF) cavity with large bandwidth, mandatory to correct fast arrival time fluctuations. The cavity has recently been installed in the FLASH beamline. First measurements with the new cavity will be presented. |

MOPO066 | Simulation of the Transitional Process in Accelerating Sections by Equivalent Circuit Method | operation, simulation, MMI, interface | 145 |
|
|||
Nowadays linac accelerating RF systems design is usually done by the finite difference method. It provides high accuracy of calculations and freedom in topology choosing, but may draw considerable amounts of computer resources with long calculation times. Alternative to this method, equivalent circuit method exists. The basic idea of this method is to build a lumped element circuit, which with certain approximation acts as an original accelerating cell. It drastically reduces the number of equations to solve. This method is long known but usually only used for the particular accelerating structures when speed of calculation is a key-factor. Present paper describes a way to numerically simulate transition processes in arbitrary coupled accelerating cells using the equivalent circuit method. This approach allows simulating transitional processes in accelerating structures significantly faster and allows doing so for structures with high quality factor and many cells - a hard task for conventional transient solvers based on the finite difference method. | |||

MOPO077 | Design of the High Gradient Negative Harmonic Structure for Compact Ion Therapy Linac | linac, proton, operation, simulation | 160 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics, under SBIR grant DE-SC0015717 and Accelerator Stewardship Grant, Proposal No. 0000219678 A novel concept for an Advanced Compact Carbon Ion Linac (ACCIL) that will deliver up to 1 pnA of carbon ions with variable energy from 45 MeV/u to 450 MeV/u in a 45 m footprint, has been developed by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in collaboration with RadiaBeam. The ACCIL will have a 35 MV/m real-estate accelerating gradients that became possible to achieve with the development of novel S-band high-gradient structures, capable of providing 50 MV/m accelerating gradients for particles with β>0.3. In particular, a β=0.3 structure based on the novel approach of operation at the first negative spatial harmonic with the increased distance between the accelerating gaps will be presented. This is the first attempt to reach such high gradients at such small velocities. RadiaBeam and ANL have demonstrated the feasibility of building this structure for accelerating carbon ions by means of advanced computer simulations and are currently working towards the fabrication of this structure for high power tests. |

MOPO119 | Design of a Fully Automated Test Bench for Measuring the Field Distribution in Standing Wave Cavity | cavity, simulation, controls, network | 246 |
|
|||
The resonant cavity plays a great role in the linear accelerator. An accurate measurement of the cavity field distribution is very important to design linear accelerators. A fully computer controlled bench for the electric field distribution has been developed in this context. Based on the perturbation theory, the acquisition of the resonant frequency shift is proportional to the square of E (electric field). In order to verify the reliability of the test bench, a standard cylindrical cavity has been tested in this measurement system. The simulation by HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) and the practice will be both presented in this paper. And the result demonstrates that, because of its high concentricity, the automated test bench achieves high precision in measuring the distribution of electric field. | |||

THPO003 | L-band Resonant Ring for Testing RF Windows for ILC | collider, simulation, klystron, linear-collider | 679 |
|
|||
A resonant ring is widely used for the breakdown test of RF components under high power. It can reach power gain of more than 10dB, which is limited by the attenua-tion of the ring. An L-band resonant ring is constructed for testing RF components of International Linear Collid-er (ILC) which is based on an RF frequency of 1.3GHz. The target of the high power test is 5 MW. We have fin-ished the test of an input power of 500 W using a solid state amplifier, and the principle of the resonant ring is verified. The resonant ring is tuned to an optimal condi-tion, which is preparation for high power operation. This paper details the principle, construction, and test of the L-band resonant ring. | |||

THPO038 | Status of the Power Couplers for the CSNS DTL | DTL, cavity, vacuum, operation | 767 |
|
|||
There are four Drift Tube Linac (DTL) tanks in China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) Project. Each DTL tank requires a power coupler with a peak power of 2 MW and a duty cycle of 1.5% for beam operation. After approximately two years machining, all four couplers were already installed in the tunnel before year 2017. Up to now, the first phase of beam tuning has been completed, the maximum transmission power of the coupler exceeds 1.7 MW with a pulse width of 650 μs and a repetition rate of 25 Hz, meanwhile, the vacuum is maintained on the order of 10-6 Pa during the operation and no breakdown was observed. This paper describes the architecture, the fabrication, the low power test results and the high power conditioning process of the coupler. Some problems encountered are also presented.

THPO060 | First RF Measurements of the 325 MHz Ladder RFQ | rfq, linac, simulation, proton | 826 |
|
|||
Funding: BMBF 05P15RFRBA Based on the positive results of the unmodulated 325 MHz Ladder-RFQ prototype from 2013 to 2016, we developed and designed a modulated 3.3 m Ladder-RFQ*. The unmodulated prototype Ladder-RFQ features a very constant voltage along the axis. The RFQ was high power tested at the GSI test stand. It accepted 3 times the RF power level needed in operation**. That level corresponds to a Kilpatrick factor of 3.1 with a pulse length of 200 µs. The 325 MHz RFQ is designed to accelerate protons from 95 keV to 3.0 MeV according to the design parameters of the proton linac within the FAIR project. This particular high frequency creates difficulties for a 4-ROD type RFQ, which triggered the development of a Ladder RFQ with its higher symmetry. The results of the unmodulated prototype have shown, that the Ladder-RFQ is a suitable candidate for that frequency. For the present design duty cycles are feasible up to 5%. The basic design and tendering of the RFQ has been successfully completed in 2016. Manufacturing will be completed in August 2018. We will show the the finalization of manufacturing as well as first low level RF measurements of the Ladder RFQ. *Journal of Physics: Conf.

THPO064 | Tuning of a Four-vane RFQ for Xi’an 200 MeV Proton Application Facility | rfq, dipole, quadrupole, cavity | 838 |
|
|||
This paper mainly describes the procedures and results of tuning a four-vane Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator for the Xi’an 200 MeV Proton Application Facility (XiPAF) project. The 3-meter-long RFQ will accelerate a 50 keV H− beam from the ECR source to 3 MeV, and deliver it to the downstream drift tube linac (DTL) with a peak current of 5 mA, pulse length of 10-40 μs and maximum repetition rate of 0.5. The machining, assembly, and RF tuning of the RFQ cavity has been completed successfully. After tuning, the relative error of the operating quadrupole mode field is within ±2.7%, and the dipole mode com-ponent is within ±1.9% of the quadrupole mode. The RFQ now is ready for high-power RF conditioning. | |||

THPO082 | Physical Design of a Rectangular RF Deflector for Ultrashort Bunch Length Measurement | cavity, electron, simulation, FEL | 872 |
|
|||
Cylindrical deflectors which are now widely used for bunch length measurement suffer from the degeneration of polarization, while rectangular deflectors can separate polarization mode easily. This paper is focused on the study of a one-cell rectangular deflector, which is considerably different from cylindrical structure or multi-cell structure. A one-cell structure is free of π mode restriction and can achieve higher deflection efficiency per unit length. The proposed scheme is expected to achieve time resolution better than 200fs with the driving power less than 1MW. Cavity optimization and beam dynamic simulation are introduced in this paper. | |||

|
|||
CLIC is focusing on the Compact Linear Collider. To obtain a relatively high accelerating gradient, CLIC utilizes Pulse Compressors to increase the input power of accelerators. This work is to make an alternative design for CLIC pulse compression scheme. There are several kinds of pulse compressor: SLED, BOC, SLED-Ⅱ, spherical pulse compressor and so on. Usually, a spherical cavity, including BOC, can offer a higher Q factor compared with a cylindrical cavity. This design utilizes a spherical cavity working with degenerated Whispering Gallery mode. | |||

THPO118 | Beam Transverse Coupling and 4D Emittance Measurement Simulation Studies for PITZ | emittance, quadrupole, simulation, gun | 945 |
|
|||
The Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ) was built to test and optimize high brightness electron sources for Free Electron Lasers (FELs) like FLASH and the European XFEL. Although the beam emittance has been optimized and experimentally demonstrated to meet the requirements of FLASH and XFEL, transverse beam asymmetries were observed during operation of the RF guns. Based on previous studies [1], the beam asymmetries most probably stem from beam transverse coupling by quadrupole field errors in the gun section. A pair of normal and skew gun quadrupoles was successfully used for reducing the beam asymmetries in experiment. In this paper, we discuss the beam transverse coupling between X and Y planes due to quadrupole field errors and its impact onto horizontal and vertical rms emittance. Multi-quads scan and two quads with rotated slits scan were proposed to measure the 4D beam matrix for PITZ and tested by simulation, which will give the residual beam coupling after gun quadrupoles compensation and would be helpful for minimizing the 2D rms emittance experimentally. | |||
