A Compact Beam Spreader Using Rf Deflecting Cavities For The Lcls-Ii, S.U. De Silva, J. R. Delayen, R. G. Olave, L. Doolittle, P. Emma Jan 2014

A Compact Beam Spreader Using Rf Deflecting Cavities For The Lcls-Ii, S.U. De Silva, J. R. Delayen, R. G. Olave, L. Doolittle, P. Emma

Physics Faculty Publications

The LCLS-II project currently under development is designed to accelerate electron bunches up to 4 GeV and transport them to one of two FEL undulators located more than 2 km downstream of the end of the LCLS-II linac. The upgrade requires a spreader system to separate the baseline electron bunches and transport them to two undulator lines or a local dump. Fast bipolar kickers (FK) or transverse electric rf deflectors (RFD) are considered as fast-switching devices (FSD). In the RFD approach described here three design options operating at 325 MHz are studied including a superconducting rf-dipole cavity, a normal conducting …


Higher Order Mode Damping In Superconducting Spoke Cavities, C. S. Hopper, J. R. Delayen Jan 2014

Higher Order Mode Damping In Superconducting Spoke Cavities, C. S. Hopper, J. R. Delayen

Physics Faculty Publications

Parasitic higher order modes (HOMs) can be severely detrimental to the performance of superconducting cavities. For this reason, the mode spectrum and beam coupling strength must be examined in detail to determine which modes must be damped. One advantage of the spoke cavity geometry is that couplers can be placed on the outer body of the cavity rather than in the beam line space. We present an overview of the HOM properties of spoke cavities and methods for suppressing the most harmful ones.


Cryogenic Test Of A 750 Mhz Superconducting Rf Dipole Crabbing Cavity, A. Castilla, Hyekyoung Park, J. R. Delayen Jan 2014

Cryogenic Test Of A 750 Mhz Superconducting Rf Dipole Crabbing Cavity, A. Castilla, Hyekyoung Park, J. R. Delayen

Physics Faculty Publications

A superconducting rf dipole cavity has been designed to address the challenges of a high repetition rate (750 MHz), high current for both electron/ion species (0.5/3 A per bunch), and large crossing angle (50 mrad) at the interaction points (IPs) crabbing system for the Medium Energy Electron-Ion Collider (MEIC) proposed by Jefferson Lab. The cavity prototype built at Niowave, Inc. has been tested at the Jefferson Lab facilities. In this work we present a detailed analysis of the prototype cavity performance at 4 K and 2 K, corroborating the absence of hard multipacting barriers that could limit the desired transverse …


Employing Twin Crabbing Cavities To Address Variable Transverse Coupling Of Beams In The Meic, A. Castilla, V. S. Morozov, T. Satogata, J. R. Delayen Jan 2014

Employing Twin Crabbing Cavities To Address Variable Transverse Coupling Of Beams In The Meic, A. Castilla, V. S. Morozov, T. Satogata, J. R. Delayen

Physics Faculty Publications

The design strategy of the Medium Energy Electron-Ion Collider (MEIC) at Jefferson Lab contemplates both matching of the emittance aspect ratios and a 50 mrad crossing angle along with crab crossing scheme for both electron and ion beams over the energy range (√s=20-70 GeV) to achieve high luminosities at the interaction points (IPs). However, the desired locations for placing the crabbing cavities may include regions where the transverse degrees of freedom of the beams are coupled with variable coupling strength that depends on the collider rings’ magnetic elements (solenoids and skew quadrupoles). In this work we explore the feasibility of …


Design Of Superconducting Parallel-Bar Deflecting/Crabbing Cavities With Improved Properties, Jean R. Delayen, Subashini De Silva Jan 2011

Design Of Superconducting Parallel-Bar Deflecting/Crabbing Cavities With Improved Properties, Jean R. Delayen, Subashini De Silva

Physics Faculty Publications

The superconducting parallel-bar cavity is a deflecting/crabbing cavity with attractive properties, compared to other conventional designs, that is being considered for a number of applications. All designs to-date have been based on straight loading elements and rectangular outer conductors. We present new designs of parallel-bar cavities using curved loading elements and circular or elliptical outer conductors, with significantly improved properties such as reduced surface fields and wider higher-order mode separation.
