The Electron Ion Collider offers the opportunity to make un-paralleled multidimen- sional measurements of the spin structure of the proton and nuclei, as well as a study of the onset of partonic saturation at small Bjorken-x [1]. An important requirement of the physics program is the tagging of spectator neutrons and the identification of forward photons. We propose to design and build a Zero Degree Calorimeter, or ZDC, to measure photons and neutrons with excellent energy & position resolution.


Compact Superconducting Rf-Dipole Cavity Designs For Deflecting And Crabbing Applications, Subashini De Silva, Jean R. Delayen, A. Castilla Jan 2013

Compact Superconducting Rf-Dipole Cavity Designs For Deflecting And Crabbing Applications, Subashini De Silva, Jean R. Delayen, A. Castilla

Physics Faculty Publications

Over the years the superconducting parallel-bar design has evolved into an rf-dipole cavity with improved properties. The new rf-dipole design is considered for a number of deflecting and crabbing applications. Some of those applications are the 499 MHz rf separator system for the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade, the 400 MHz crabbing cavity system for the proposed LHC high luminosity upgrade, and the 750 MHz crabbing cavity for the medium energy electron-ion collider in Jefferson Lab. In this paper we present the optimized rf design in terms of rf performance including rf properties, higher order modes (HOM) properties, multipacting, and …

Superconducting Rf-Dipole Deflecting And Crabbing Cavities, Subashini De Silva, Jean R. Delayen

Physics Faculty Publications

Recent interests in compact deflecting and crabbing structures for future accelerators and colliders have initiated the development of novel rf structures. The superconducting rf-dipole cavity is one of the first compact designs with attractive properties such as high gradients, high shunt impedance, the absence of lower order modes, and widely separated higher order modes. Two rf-dipole cavities at 400 MHz and 499 MHz have been designed, fabricated and tested as proof-of-principle designs of compact deflecting and crabbing cavities for the LHC high luminosity upgrade and Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade. The first rf tests have been performed on the rf-dipole …


Development Of Superconducting 500 Mhz Multi-Spoke Cavity For Electron Linacs, Dmitry Gorelov, Charles H. Boulware, Terry Grimm, Jean R. Delayen, C. S. Hopper, R. G. Olgave, Subashini U. De Silva Jan 2012

Development Of Superconducting 500 Mhz Multi-Spoke Cavity For Electron Linacs, Dmitry Gorelov, Charles H. Boulware, Terry Grimm, Jean R. Delayen, C. S. Hopper, R. G. Olgave, Subashini U. De Silva

Physics Faculty Publications

Multi-spoke cavities are well-known options for acceleration of heavy and light ions. A recently developed multi-spoke cavity for β=1 presents an attractive opportunity to use this cavity type for electron accelerators. One of the main attractive features of this cavity type is its compactness for relatively low frequency. A simplified design at 500 MHz allowed building of a multi-spoke cavity and cryomodule in a 2-year time frame with confidence and development of effective manufacturing techniques. It also constitutes an important step in proving the usefulness of this kind of cavity design for new applications in the electron machines. Niowave is …


Characteristics And Fabrication Of A 499 Mhz Superconducting Deflecting Cavity For The Jefferson Lab 12 Gev Upgrade, Hyekyoung Park, Subashini U. De Silva, Jean R. Delayen Jan 2012

Characteristics And Fabrication Of A 499 Mhz Superconducting Deflecting Cavity For The Jefferson Lab 12 Gev Upgrade, Hyekyoung Park, Subashini U. De Silva, Jean R. Delayen

Physics Faculty Publications

A 499 MHz parallel bar superconducting deflecting cavity has been designed and optimized [1,2] for a possible implementation at the Jefferson Lab. Previously the mechanical analysis [3], mainly stress, was performed. Since then pressure sensitivity was studied further and the cavity parts were fabricated. The prototype cavity is not completed due to the renovation at Jefferson Lab which resulted in the temporary shutdown of the electron beam welding facility. This paper will present the analysis results and facts encountered during fabrication. The unique geometry of the cavity and its required mechanical strength present interesting manufacturing challenges.


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

Analysis Of Hom Properties Of Superconducting Parallel-Bar Deflecting/Crabbing Cavities, Subashini De Silva, Jean R. Delayen

Physics Faculty Publications

The superconducting parallel-bar cavity is currently being considered for a number of deflecting and crabbing applications due to improved properties and compact design geometries. The 499 MHz deflecting cavity proposed for the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade and the 400 MHz crab cavity for the proposed LHC luminosity upgrade are two of the major applications. For high current applications the higher order modes must be damped to acceptable levels to eliminate any beam instabilities. The frequencies and R/Q of the HOMs and mode separation are evaluated and compared for different parallel-bar cavity designs.

Design Of Superconducting Parallel Bar Cavities For Deflecting/Crabbing Applications, 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 currently being considered for a number of applications. The new parallel-bar design with curved loading elements and circular or elliptical outer conductors have improved properties compared to the designs with rectangular outer conductors. We present the designs proposed as the deflecting cavities for the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade and for Project-X and crabbing cavities for the proposed LHC luminosity upgrade and electron-ion collider at Jefferson Lab.


Applications Of Spoke Cavities, Jean R. Delayen Jan 2010

Applications Of Spoke Cavities, Jean R. Delayen

Physics Faculty Publications

The superconducting spoke cavity was introduced in the late 1980s in response to the need for superconducting structures in the mid-velocity range. Since then it has found application in many projects. Prototypes have been developed for a wide range of beam velocities. The characteristics and features of the spoke cavity are reviewed and some of their applications are presented.
