| Abstract |
The 3 cell superconducting TW accelerating structure was developed to experimentally demonstrate and to study tuning issues for a new experimental device - the superconducting traveling wave accelerator (STWA), a technology that may prove of crucial importance to the high energy SRF linacs by raising the effective gradient and therefore reducing the overall cost. Recently, a STWA structure with a feedback waveguide has been suggested. The structure was optimized and has phase advance per cell of 105° which provide 24% higher accelerating gradient than in SW cavities. Also STWA structure has no strong sensitivity of the field flatness and its length may be much longer than SW structure. With this presentation, we discuss the current status of a 3-cell L-band SC traveling wave along with the analysis of its tuning issues. Special attention will be paid to feedback loop operation with the two-coupler feed system. We also report on the development and fabrication of a niobium prototype 3-cell SC traveling wave structure to be tested at 2°K in fall 2015.
