| As a new and compact injector with medium beam current, the DC-SRF injector at Peking University has been upgraded recently mainly on DC part and heat loading. With a new 20kW solid state RF power source, an improved LLRF system and related diagnostic devices on the new beam line, a series of experiments have been carried out for stably operating the DC-SRF injector at 2K temperature. The description of the system, experiment process and results will be presented. | |||

Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06H11357. The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade Project (APS-U) at Argonne will include generation of short-pulse x-rays based on Zholents’ [1] deflecting cavity scheme. We have chosen superconducting (SC) cavities in order to have a continuous train of crabbed bunches and flexibility of operating modes. Since early 2012, in collaboration with Jefferson National Laboratory, we have made significant progress prototyping and testing a number of single-cell deflecting cavities. We have designed, prototyped, and tested silicon carbide as damping material for higher-order-mode (HOM) dampers, which are broadband to handle the HOM power across the frequency spectrum produced by the APS beam. In collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, we have developing a state-of-the-art timing and synchronization system for distributing stable rf signals over optical fiber capable of achieving tens of femtoseconds phase drift and jitter. Collaboration with the Advanced Computations Department at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is looking into simulations of complex, multi- cavity geometries. This contribution provides a progress report on the current R&D status of the SPX project. [1] A. Zholents et al., NIM A 425, 385 (1999). |

Funding: Work supported by the "Strategic Priority Research Program" of CAS, under Grant No. XDA03020600 The China ADS injector I program is building a CW 10MeV Superconducting proton linac at IHEP. To develop the superconducting spoke-type cavities incorporated in this linac, a set of new surface processing facilities were built and successfully used to treat the Spoke012 prototype cavities. In this paper, we present the design, fabrication and operation of these facilities, including BCP, HPR and UPW, etc. |

| In preparation of ILC an operation of two superconducting cavities controlled by digital LLRF techniques at different gradients (16 MV/m, 24 MV/m) with flat flattops and a 6.4 mA beam was demonstrated, which is only possible by PkQL control (individual setting of driving power and loaded Q per cavity). The vector sum stabilities were ΔA/A = 0.009%rms and Δφ = 0.009°rms. Since in ILC the cavity gradient spread is large (31.5 MV/m±20%) the required range of loaded Q values is 3·106 to 107. High loaded Q operation with a 6.1 mA beam at 2·107 was demonstrated. The stabilities were ΔA/A = 0.008%rms and Δφ = 0.014°rms. Furthermore a near klystron operation within 5% of saturation was performed with a 6.2 mA beam. The stabilities were ΔA/A = 0.010%rms and Δφ = 0.009°rms. | |||

| THP022 | DEVELOPMENT OF A VERY LOW BETA SUPERCONDUCTING SINGLE SPOKE CAVITY FOR CHINA-ADS LINAC* | cavity, accelerating-gradient, linac, niobium | 942 |
|
|||
| Twelve very low Beta superconducting single spoke cavities whose Beta is only 0.12 (Spoke012) operating at 325MHz, are adopted in Injector I for China-ADS linac. This type of spoke cavity is believed to be one of the key challenges for its very low geometric Beta. So far, collaborated with Peking University and Harbin Institute of Technology, IHEP has designed, fabricated and tested the spoke012 prototype cavity successfully. This paper presents the details of the design, fabrication and vertical test results for Spoke012 prototype cavity. | |||

Funding: Work supported in part by a Marie Curie Early Initial Training Network Fellowship of the European Community's 7th Programme under contract number PITN-GA-2010-264330-CATHI. A new linac using superconducting quarter-wave resonators (QWR) is under construction at CERN in the framework of the HIE-ISOLDE project. The QWRs are made by Niobium sputtered on a bulk Copper substrate. The working frequency at 4.5 K is 101.28 MHz and they will provide 6 MV/m accelerating gradient on the beam axis with a total maximum power dissipation of 10 W on cavity walls. A tuning system is required in order to both minimize the forward power variation in beam operation and to compensate the unavoidable uncertainties in the frequency shift during the cool-down process. The tuning system has to fulfill a complex combination of RF, structural and thermal requirements. The paper presents the functional specifications and details the tuning system RF and mechanical design and simulations. The results of the tests performed on a prototype system are discussed and the industrialization strategy is presented in view of final production. |

| The Free-Electron Laser in Hamburg (FLASH) is now equipped with a MicroTCA-based (MTCA.4) low-level radio frequency (LLRF) system, to replace the previous VME system and to serve as a test bench for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) LLRF system. This paper presents details on the new FLASH LLRF system setup, including installations inside the radiation prone tunnel environment.

| The Cryomodule Test Bench (CMTB) at DESY is equipped with a 100 kW Inductive Output Tube (IOT) allowing the test of superconducting cryomodules in continuous wave (CW) operation mode. Although significantly different from the nominal pulsed operation mode of the European X-Ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL), CW operation can be handled by the same Low-level Radio Frequency (LLRF) system, within minor firmware modifications. The hardware details of the LLRF setup at CMTB, the firmware and software architecture and performance results from the last CW test are presented in this contribution. | |||
| THP087 | LLRF Tests of XFEL Cryomodules at AMTF: First Experimental Results | cavity, cryomodule, resonance, operation | 1132 |
|
|||
| In preparation for the series production of cryomodules for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL), three pre-series cryomodules and several prototypes have been produced and tested at the Cryomodule Test Bench (CMTB) and at the Accelerating Module Test Facility (AMTF) in DESY. Among the numerous tests performed on the modules, the low-level radio frequency (LLRF) tests aim at characterizing the performance of the modules from an RF controls perspective. These integration tests must take into account cavity tuners, cavity motorized couplers, quench gradients, microphonics, piezo control and the overall gradient performance of the cryomodule under test. In this paper, the LLRF-specific tests are summarized and the first experimental results obtained at CMTB and AMTF are presented. | |||
| THP089 | Design of LLRF System for RAON | controls, feedback, FPGA, target | 1135 |
|
|||
| The low-level RF (LLRF) system being designed for RAON will allow research in the rare isotope beam facility. The LLRF system is used to feed the superconducting quarter-wave resonator having the frequency of 81.25 MHz with controlled the amplitude and phase of RF. The LLRF system uses a field programmable gate array (FPGA) to provide controlled RF amplitude and phase with ±1° and less than ±1% of stabilities, respectively. The resolution and working range is 0.004 dB and 20 dB in amplitude, respectively, and 0.5° and 360° in phase. For the RF performance test, a prototype of LLRF system is designed and fabricated. This paper will describe the design detail. Also, testing results of the prototype of LLRF system are presented. | |||
| THP098 | LLRF and Data Acquisition Systems for Spoke012 Cavity Vertical Test at IHEP | cavity, interface, LabView, data-acquisition | 1158 |
|
|||
| Development of two Spoke 012 cavities and their vertical tests have been completed successfully at IHEP with a LLRF system and DAQ (data acquisition) system specially designed. The LLRF system is developed on the basis of the proven analog system used for the test of the BEPCII 500 MHz spare cavity. The Labview 2009-based DAQ system is in charge of the communications of the measuring instruments, the local machine and the remote machine. It also completes drawing the test curve online and obtaining the test result in real time. The data connection between Labview and EPICS is implemented. The vertical test result shows that the LLRF system and the DAQ system in operation perform stably and reliably as expected. This paper introduces the two systems and the general situation for Spoke 012 cavity vertical test. | |||
