There is a need to understand the intrinsic limit of RF surface impedance that determines the performance of superconducting RF cavities in particle accelerators. Here we present a field-dependent derivation of Mattis-Bardeen theory of the RF surface impedance of BCS superconductors, based on the shifted density of states resulting from coherently moving Cooper pairs. Our theoretical prediction of the effective BCS RF surface resistance of niobium as a function of peak surface magnetic field amplitude agrees well with recently reported record low loss resonant cavity measurements from JLab and Fermi Lab with carefully prepared niobium material. The surprising reduction in resistance with increasing field is explained to be an intrinsic effect. |

| In order to study Higgs Boson, scientists proposed to construct a Higgs factory. Chinese scientists are also actively involved in research of the construction of Higgs factory. Construction of a circular collider and several construction solutions were proposed. Electron and positron are eventually accelerated to the center of mass energy 240GeV. RF superconducting acceleration system is indispensable to ensure the normal operation of machine. This article mainly introduces the RF parameters in the design of 700MHz China Higgs Factory (CHF) system. It mainly includes choose of cavity type, couplers and relevant parameters of cryogenic system. | |||
| MOP092 | Computation of Wakefields and HOM Port Signals by Means of Reduced Order Models | wakefield, cavity, HOM, operation | 364 |

| The investigation of wakefields is an important task in the design and operation of particle accelerators. Computer simulations are a reliable tool to extend the understanding of these effects. This contribution presents an application example of a new method to compute wakefields as well as parameters derived from those fields, such as higher order mode (HOM) port signals. The method is based on a reduced order model of the structure created by as set of 3D eigenmodes, a set of 2D waveguide port modes and the current density of the beam. In contrast to other wakefield computations, the proposed method operates directly on the reduced order model. Therefore, once having established this model, the beam-excited fields can be determined quickly for different beam parameters. As a matter of fact, only a small part of the reduced system has to be recomputed for every sweep point. From these advantages it is obvious, that the method is highly compatible for beam parameter studies. In a proof of principal the effectiveness of the method compared to established methods of wakefield computations in terms of computational time and accuracy is shown. | |||

Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. A recent new analysis of field-dependent BCS RF surface impedance based on moving Cooper pairs has been presented.* Using this analysis coded in Mathematica™, survey calculations have been completed which examine the sensitivities of this surface impedance to variation of the BCS material parameters and temperature. The results present a refined description of the “best theoretical” performance available to potential applications with corresponding materials. * Xiao B.

Alternative BCS superconductors with the superconducting critical temperature higher than that of niobium theoretically surpass the limitations of niobium. The feasibility of technology has been demonstrated at 1.5 GHz with Nb3Sn vapor deposition technique at Wuppertal University. The benefit at these frequencies is more pronounced at 4.2 K, where Nb3Sn coated cavities show RF resistances an order of magnitude lower than that of niobium. At Jefferson Lab we started the development of Nb3Sn vapor diffusion deposition system within an R&D development program towards compact light sources. Here we present the current progress of the system development. |

Funding: Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Due to the very shallow penetration depth of the RF fields, SRF properties are inherently a surface phenomenon involving a material thickness of less than 1 micron thus opening up the possibility of using thin film coatings to achieve a desired performance. The challenge has been to understand the dependence of the SRF properties on the detailed characteristics of real surfaces and then to employ appropriate techniques to tailor these surface properties for greatest benefit. Our aim is to achieve gradients >100 MV/m and no simple material is known to be capable of sustaining this performance. A theoretical framework has been proposed which could yield such behavior [1] and it requires creation of thin film layered structures. I will present our systematic studies on such proof-of-principle samples. Our overarching goal has been to build a basic understanding of key nano-scale film growth parameters for materials that show promise for SRF cavity multilayer coatings and to demonstrate the ability to elevate the barrier for vortex entry in such layered structures above the bulk value of Hc1 for type-II superconductors and thus to sustain higher accelerating fields.

| THP013 | A New Cavity Design for Medium Beta Acceleration | cavity, linac, cryomodule, target | 920 |
|
|||
|
Funding: Work supported by DOE Heavy duty or CW, superconducting proton and heavy ion accelerators are being proposed and constructed worldwide. The total length of the machine is one of the main drivers in terms of cost. Thus HWR and spoke cavities at medium beta are usually optimized to achieve low surface field and high gradient. A novel accelerating structure at β=0.5 evolved from spoke cavity is proposed, with lower surface fields but slightly higher heat load. It would be an interesting option for pulsed and CW accelerators with beam energy of more than 200MeV/u. |

| THP036 | Design of a 4 Rod Crab Cavity Cryomodule System for HL-LHC | cavity, cryomodule, HOM, luminosity | 982 |
|
|||
| The LHC requires compact SRF crab cavities for the HL-LHC and 3 potential solutions are under consideration. One option is to develop a 4 rod cavity utilising for quarter wave rods to maintain a dipole field. The cavity design has been developed including power and LOM/HOM couplers have been developed, as well as a conceptual design of a complete cryomodule system including ancillaries and this is presented. The cryomodule is designed to allow easy access during testing and uses a novel support system and contains the opposing beamline section to fit inside the LHC envelope. | |||
| FRIOA04 | Superconducting RF-Dipole Deflecting and Crabbing Cavities | cavity, dipole, HOM, luminosity | 1176 |
|

| Recent interests in designing compact deflecting and crabbing structures for future accelerators and colliders have initiated the development of novel rf structures. The superconducting rf-dipole cavity is one of the first compact designs with attractive properties such as higher gradients, higher shunt impedance, the absence of lower order modes and widely separated higher order modes. Two rf-dipole designs of 400 MHz and 499 MHz have been designed, fabricated and tested as proof-of-principle designs of compact deflecting and crabbing cavities for the LHC high luminosity upgrade and Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade. The first rf tests have been performed on the rf-dipole geometries at 4.2 K and 2.0 K in a vertical test assembly with excellent results. The cavities have achieved high gradients with high intrinsic quality factors, and multipacting levels were easily processed. | |||
