| MOP001 | CASCADE: a Cavity Based Dark Matter Experiment | cavity, experiment, shielding, detector | 66 |

| An experiment is proposed that uses a pair of RF cavities as a source and detector of hidden sector photons (HSP). HSP's are hypothetical low-mass dark matter candidates with coupling to ordinary photons. SRF cavities are favoured in this experiment as they are able to store a high number of photons for a given input power due to the high Q available. When powered, such a cavity will act as a source of HSPs, while an empty cavity will be able to capture any HSP's decaying back into RF photons. Such an experiment (CASCADE) is being developed at the Cockcroft Institute using single cell 1.3 GHz cavities previously utilised for manufacturing and BCP studies. The aims of the CASCADE project are detailed, along with the system specification. | |||

The short pulse x-ray (SPX) part of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) Upgrade is an effort to enhance time-resolved experiments on a few-ps-scale at the APS. The goal of SPX is the generation of short pulses of x-rays for pump-probe time-resolved capability using superconducting rf (SRF) deflecting cavities*. These cavities will create a correlation between longitudinal position in the electron bunch and vertical momentum**. The light produced by this bunch can be passed through a slit to produce a pulse of light much shorter (1-2 ps instead of 100 ps) than the bunch length at reduced flux. An SPX cavity has been tested with a helium vessel and tuner. In addition to studying rf performance with more realistic cooling, this test allowed integration and operation of many systems designed for SPX cryomodule in-ring operation. These systems included an APS-constructed 5 kW, 2.815 GHz amplifier, a digital low-level rf controller system designed and fabricated in collaboration with LBNL, a cavity tuner, and instrumentation systems designed for the existing APS infrastructure. Cavity performance and subsystem performance will be reported and discussed in this paper. * A. Zholents et al., NIM A 425, 385 (1999). ** A.

Field emission and dark current are issues of concern for SRF cavity performance and SRF linac operation. Complete understanding and reliable control of the issue are still needed, especially in full-scale multi-cell cavities. Our work aims at developing a generic procedure for finding an active field emitter in a multi-cell cavity and benchmarking the procedure through cavity vertical test. Our ultimate goal is to provide feedback to cavity preparation and cavity string assembly in order to reduce or eliminate filed emission in SRF cavities. Systematic analysis of behaviors of field emitted electrons is obtained by ACE3P developed by SLAC. Experimental benchmark of the procedure was carried out in a 9-cell cavity vertical test at JLab. The energy spectrum of Bremsstrahlung X-rays is measured using a NaI(Tl) detector. The end-point energy in the X-ray energy spectrum is taken as the highest kinetic electron energy to predict longitudinal position of the active field emitter. Angular location of the field emitter is determined by an array of silicon diodes around irises of the cavity. High-resolution optical inspection was conducted at the predicted field emitter location. |
