TI - Multipacting Processing in Cryomodules for LCLS-II and LCLS-II-HE 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 - Multipacting (MP) is a phenomenon which can affect stability in particle accelerators and limit performance in superconducting radio frequency cavities. In the TESLA shaped, 1.3 GHz, 9-cell cavities used in the LCLS-II (L2) and LCLS-II-HE (HE) projects, the MP-band (~17-24 MV/m) lies within the required accelerating gradients. For HE, the operating gradient of 20.8 MV/m lies well within the MP-band and cryomodule testing has confirmed that this is an issue. As such, MP processing for the HE cryomodule test program will be discussed. Early results on MP processing in cryomodules installed in the L2 linac will also be presented, demonstrating that the methods used in cryomodule acceptance testing are also successful at conditioning MP in the accelerator and that this processing is preserved in the mid-term.

A new SRF gun is designed as a low emittance photo injector for LCLS-II-HE and a prototype gun is currently being developed under collaboration between SLAC, FRIB, HZDR and ANL. The aim is to demonstrate stable CW operation at a cathode gradient of 30 MV/m. One of the crucial component for successful SRF gun operation is the photocathode system. The new SRF gun will adopt the HZDR-type cathode, which includes a cathode holder fixture (cathode stalk) developed by FRIB and a sophisticated cathode exchange system designed by HZDR. This innovative cathode insertion system ensures accurate, particle-free and warm cathode exchanges. A novel alignment process targets the cathode to the stalk axis without touching cathode plug itself. To commission the prototype gun, metallic cathodes will be used. A specifically designed vacuum system ensures vacuum pressure of 10⁻⁹ mbar for transport of a single cathode from the cleanroom to the gun. Thus maintaining cathode quality.

The linac will provide a 4 GeV electron beam for generating soft and hard X-ray pulses. Cavity detuning induced by microphonics was a significant design challenge for the LCLS-II cryomodules. Cryomodules were produced that were within the detuning specification (10 Hz for 1.3 GHz cryomodules) on test stands. Here we present first measurements of the microphonics in the installed LCLS-II superconducting linac. Overall, the microphonics in the linac are manageable with 94% of cavities coming within the detune specification. Only two cavities are gradient limited due to microphonics. We identify a leaking cool down valve as the source of microphonics limiting those two cavities.

Cryomodules were designed and manufactured by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) and Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory (JLab) during 2017-2020. From November 2018 through March 2021, SLAC Na-tional Accelerator Laboratory installed 37 Cryomodules. Full system cooldown was completed in March 2022. Installation processes were optimized at SLAC for best quality, especially during particle-free and UHV assem-bly. These processes and successful Cavity and Cry-omodule manufacturing resulted in installed gradient exceeding design requirements by more than 20%. No statistical variation in field emission onsets or magni-tudes were observed between manufacturing and site testing. This paper summarizes SLAC experience during installation, and relevant testing results.

While demonstration of high Q₀ in the test stand has been achieved, maintaining that performance in the linac is critical to the success of LCLS-II and future accelerator projects. The LCLS-II cryomodules required a novel method of measuring Q₀, due to hardware incompatibilities with existing procedures. Initially developed at Jefferson Lab during cryomodule acceptance testing before being used in the tunnel at SLAC, we use helium liquid level data to estimate the heat generated by cavities. We first establish the relationship between the rate of helium evaporation from known heat loads using electric heaters, and then use that relationship to determine heat from an RF load. Here we present the full procedure along with the development process, lessons learned, and reproducibility while demonstrating for the first time that world record Q₀ can be maintained within the real accelerator environment.

AUP received Critical Decision 3 (CD-3) approval by DOE in December 2020 launching the project into the production phase. The electro-magnetic design of the cavity was inherited from the LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP) but needed to be revised to meet new project requirements and to prevent issues encountered during beam tests performed at CERN in the R&D phase. Two prototype cavities were manufactured in industry and cold tested. Challenges specific to the RFD cavity were the stringent interface tolerances, the pole symmetry and the higher-order-mode impedance spectrum. Chemical processing and heat treatments were performed initially at FNAL/ANL and are now being transferred to industry for the production phase. HOM dampers are manufactured and validated by JLAB. A summary of cold test results with and without HOM dampers is presented.

Both crab cavities are of the RF Dipole (RFD) shape. To meet the machine design requirements, there are a few important cavity design considerations that need to be addressed. First, to achieve stable cavity operation at the design voltages, cavity geometry details must be optimized to suppress potential multipacting. Incorporating strong HOM damping in the cavity design is required for the beam stability and quality. Furthermore, due to the finite pole width, the multipole fields, especially the sextupole and the decapole terms, need to be minimized to maintain an acceptable beam dynamic aperture. This paper will present the RF optimization details of the 197 MHz cavity.

For these reasons, an SRF gun based photoinjector was chosen for a proposed Low Emittance Injector addition to the LCLS-II-HE facility, which will operate CW with bunch rates up to 1 MHz. For this injector, a prototype 185.7 MHz QWR gun is being developed in a collaborative effort among FRIB, HZDR, ANL and SLAC, with the goal of achieving a photocathode gradient of at least 30 MV/m. The photocathode is held by a coaxial fixture (cathode stalk) for thermal isolation from the cavity body. The system must allow for precise alignment of the photocathode, particle-free photocathode exchange, cryogenic (55-70 K) or warm (273-300 K) photocathode operating temperatures, and DC biasing to inhibit multipacting. A prototype cathode stalk has been built and bench tests are underway to validate the design. Measurements include RF power dissipation, DC bias hold-off, multipacting suppression and heat transfer effectiveness. This paper describes the cathode stalk design and the test results.

Theoretical estimation of the superheating fields of SRF materials is challenging and mostly has been done for temperatures near the critical temperature or in the infinite kappa limit. Experimental data currently available is incomplete, and often impacted by material defects and their resulting thermal heating, preventing finding the fundamental limits of theses materials. The CHPPSHC system allows reaching RF fields in excess of half a Tesla within microseconds on material samples by utilizing high pulsed power, thereby outrunning thermal effects. We are principally interested in the superheating field of Nb₃Sn, a material of interest for the SRF community, and present here the current fabrication and assembly status of the CHPPSHC as well as early results.

Prior experimental results have shown that heat treatments to 900°C and higher can result in stronger flux expulsion during cooldown; the precise temperature required tends to vary by vendor lot/ingot of the niobium material used in the cavity cells. For LCLS-II-HE, to ensure sufficient flux expulsion in all cavities, we built and tested single-cell cavities to determine this required temperature for each vendor lot of niobium material to be used in cavity cells. In this report, we present the results of the single-cell flux expulsion testing and the Q₀ of the nine-cell cavities built using the characterized vendor lots. We discuss mixing material from different vendor lots, examine the lessons learned, and finally present an outlook on possible refinements to the single-cell technique.

Compared to normal-conducting designs, the combination of an intrinsically outstanding vacuum environment (for cathode lifetime), and the potential for a larger ultimate performance envelope, led to the deci-sion to pursue development of the QWR-SRF gun.
