  A SRF gun can operate CW with a high gradient and ultra-low vacuum for high-quantum efficiency, low MTE photocathodes, useful features for delivery of high-brightness, high-repetition-rate beams. For these reasons, an SRF gun based photoinjector was chosen for a proposed Low Emittance Injector addition to the LCLS-II-HE facility, which will operate CW with bunch rates up to 1 MHz. For this injector, a prototype 185.7 MHz QWR gun is being developed in a collaborative effort among FRIB, HZDR, ANL and SLAC, with the goal of achieving a photocathode gradient of at least 30 MV/m. The photocathode is held by a coaxial fixture (cathode stalk) for thermal isolation from the cavity body. The system must allow for precise alignment of the photocathode, particle-free photocathode exchange, cryogenic (55-70 K) or warm (273-300 K) photocathode operating temperatures, and DC biasing to inhibit multipacting. A prototype cathode stalk has been built and bench tests are underway to validate the design. Measurements include RF power dissipation, DC bias hold-off, multipacting suppression and heat transfer effectiveness. This paper describes the cathode stalk design and the test results.

  Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been proposing an accelerator-driven system (ADS) as a future nuclear system to efficiently reduce the high-level radioactive waste generated at nuclear power plants. As the first step toward the full-scale CW proton linac for the JAEA-ADS, we are now prototyping a low-beta (around 0.2) single-spoke cavity. Because there is no experience in manufacturing superconducting spoke cavities in Japan, prototyping and performance testing of the cavity are essential to ensure the feasibility of the JAEA-ADS. The dimensional parameters of the prototype spoke cavity were optimized to obtain higher cavity performance. The actual cavity fabrication started in 2020. Most of the cavity parts were fabricated in fiscal year 2020 by press-forming and machining. In 2021, we started welding the cavity parts together. After investigating the optimum welding conditions using mock-up test pieces, each cavity part was joined with smooth welding beads. Currently, the cavity’s body section and the beam port sections have been assembled. This paper presents the current status of the JAEA-ADS and it’s cavity prototyping.
