| Abstract |
The 10⁸.4 MHz drift tube linac (DTL) accelerator for GSI’s UNLAC upgrade project is in its initial design stage using CST-MWS code. Optimization criteria for cavity design are effective shunt impedance (ZTT), transit-time factor, and electrical breakdown limit. In geometrical op-timization we have aimed at increase of the energy gain in each RF gap of the DTL cells by maximizing ZTT per peak surface field with special designed tube profile. Mul-ti-pacting probability is evaluated for one gap of typical single cell. For the beta profile design, a code based on VBA macros of CST is developed to perform cell by cell design with pre-optimized 3D tube structures. With this code several beta profile designs are presented and com-pared for the balance of power consumption, ZTT, tank length, and breakdown possibility of the complete cavity. The stability of the field has been taken into account and for this the crossed stem arrangement is assessed. This paper gives a short introduction of the method, presents some important results. Possible countermeas-ures are discussed.
