Superconducting Spoke Cavities For Electron And High-Velocity Proton Linacs, J. R. Delayen Jan 2012

Superconducting Spoke Cavities For Electron And High-Velocity Proton Linacs, J. R. Delayen

Physics Faculty Publications

Spoke resonantors are currently under development for many proton machines but these structures are also considered for high beta electron linacs as well. These structures compare well to traditional elliptical cavities.


Multipacting Analysis Of High-Velocity Superconducting Spoke Resonators, C. S. Hopper, J. R. Delayen Jan 2012

Multipacting Analysis Of High-Velocity Superconducting Spoke Resonators, C. S. Hopper, J. R. Delayen

Physics Faculty Publications

Some of the advantages of superconducting spoke cavities are currently being investigated for the high-velocity regime. When determining a final, optimized geometry, one must consider the possible limiting effects multipacting could have on the cavity. We report on the results of analytical calculations and numerical simulations of multipacting electrons in superconducting spoke cavities and methods for reducing their impact.


Contamination Effects On Fixed-Bias Langmuir Probes, C.T. Steigies, Aroh Barjatya Jan 2012

Contamination Effects On Fixed-Bias Langmuir Probes, C.T. Steigies, Aroh Barjatya

Publications

Langmuir probes are standard instruments for plasma density measurements on many sounding rockets. These probes can be operated in swept-bias as well as in fixed-bias modes. In swept-bias Langmuir probes, contamination effects are frequently visible as a hysteresis between consecutive up and down voltage ramps. This hysteresis, if not corrected, leads to poorly determined plasma densities and temperatures. With a properly chosen sweep function, the contamination parameters can be determinedfromthemeasurementsandcorrectplasmaparameterscanthenbedetermined.Inthispaper, we study the contamination effects on fixed-bias Langmuir probes, where no hysteresis type effect is seen in the data. Even though the contamination is not evident from the measurements, it …
