TI - Higher Order Mode Analysis of a 915 MHz 2-Cell Cavity for a Prototype Industrial Accelerator J2 - Proc. of SRF2023, Grand Rapids, MI, USA, 25-30 June 2023 CY - Grand Rapids, MI, USA T2 - International Conference on RF Superconductivity T3 - 21 LA - english AB - A possible solution to reduce the complexity posed by the cryogenic systems in a superconducting RF accelerator for industrial applications, is to capitalize on the advances achieved by the Nb₃Sn superconducting RF technology, as well as the feasibility of a reliable 4 K cooling system, based on commercial cryocoolers. Following this philosophy, the conceptual design for a prototype, conduction-cooled, 4 MeV, 20 kW SRF electron linac, is being developed at Jefferson Lab. Such design is based on a 915 MHz two-cell Nb₃Sn cavity. In this contribution, we present the proposed cavity design, including the fundamental power coupler, and the preliminary analysis of the Higher Order Modes, using numerical simulations to estimate the potentially dangerous modes as a starting point to evaluate the requirements for damping for reliable operations with a cryocooler. Finally, different methods to calculate the Higher Order Modes’ Impedances are briefly discussed.

TI - Geometry Optimization for a Quadrupole Resonator at Jefferson Lab J2 - Proc. of SRF2023, Grand Rapids, MI, USA, 25-30 June 2023 CY - Grand Rapids, MI, USA T2 - International Conference on RF Superconductivity T3 - 21 LA - english AB - The quadrupole resonator (QPR) is a sample characterization tool to measure the RF properties of superconducting materials using the calorimetry method at different temperatures, magnetic fields, and frequencies. Such resonators are currently operating at CERN and HZB but suffer from Lorentz force detuning and modes overlapping, resulting in higher uncertainties in surface resistance measurement. Using the two CERN’s QPR model iterations, the geometry was optimized via electromagnetic and mechanical simulations to eliminate these issues. The new QPR version was modeled for an increasing range of magnetic fields. The magnetic field is concentrated at the center of the sample to reduce the uncertainty in surface resistance measurements significantly. This paper will discuss the QPR geometry optimization for the new version of QPR, which is now progressing towards fabrication.

TI - Multipacting in C75 Cavities J2 - Proc. of SRF2023, Grand Rapids, MI, USA, 25-30 June 2023 CY - Grand Rapids, MI, USA T2 - International Conference on RF Superconductivity T3 - 21 LA - english AB - Cavities for the C75 cryomodule refurbishment program are currently being built, processed, tested and installed in the CEBAF accelerator at Jefferson Lab. They consist of 5-cell, 1497 MHz cavities with waveguide-type power coupler and for higher-order modes. Most of the cavities rf tests in a vertical cryostat at 2.07 K were limited by strong multipacting at accelerating gradients in the range 18 - 23 MV/m. A softer multipacting barrier was sometimes found at 13 - 15 MV/m. An unusual feature of the multipacting was that the barrier often shifted to a lower gradient ~17 MV/m, after multiple quenches at ~20 MV/m. This phenomenon was reproduced in a single-cell cavity of the same shape. The cavity was tested after different amounts of mechanical tuning and residual magnetic field, with no significant impact to the multipacting behavior. This contribution summarizes the experimental results from cavity rf tests, some of which were complemented by additional diagnostic instrumentation. Results from 2D and 3D simulations are also presented, indicating favorable conditions for multipacting at the equator in the range 20 - 29 MV/m.

TI - Exploring Innovative Pathway for SRF Cavity Fabrication J2 - Proc. of SRF2023, Grand Rapids, MI, USA, 25-30 June 2023 CY - Grand Rapids, MI, USA T2 - International Conference on RF Superconductivity T3 - 21 LA - english AB - This article shows a study on an alternative pathway for the fabrication of a complete 1.3 GHz SRF cavity, aiming at improving production reliability, reducing the use of chemical polishing (EP or BCP) which is a costly and safety-critical step, and preserving surface quality after forming. Unlike the conventional pathway, the fabrication process is performed after polishing. This point is crucial as the used polishing technology could be applied only to flat geometries. The performed investigation demonstrates that damages during the fabrication process are considered minor, localized, and limited to the near-surface. Moreover, these studies confirm that the damaged layer (100-200 µm) is mainly caused by the rolling process, and not by the subsequent fabrication steps. A laser confocal microscope and SEM-EBSD technique were used to compare samples before and after forming. The preliminary results are discussed and presented in this paper.

TI - Development of a Prototype 197 MHz Crab Cavity for the Electron-Ion Collider at JLab J2 - Proc. of SRF2023, Grand Rapids, MI, USA, 25-30 June 2023 CY - Grand Rapids, MI, USA T2 - International Conference on RF Superconductivity T3 - 21 LA - english AB - Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) is currently developing a prototype 197 MHz Radio-Frequency Dipole (RFD) crab cavity as part of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) to be built at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Cryomodules containing these cavities will be part of Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) of the EIC. The prototype cavity is constructed primarily of formed niobium sheets of thickness 4.17 mm, with machined niobium parts used as interfaces where tight tolerancing is required. The cavity¿s large size and complex features present a number of challenges in fabrication, tuning, and RF testing. Structural and forming analyses have been carried out to optimize the design and fabricated processes. An overview of the design phase and the current state of fabrication are presented in this paper.
