Amplitude and phase stability studies in a DC superconducting injector

The DC superconducting injector will be used in the PKU-THz facility which consists of a DC-gun and a 3+1/2-cell superconducting cavity. The cavity must accelerate the electron beam to 5.82 MeV which is susceptible to perturbations because of its narrow bandwidth. In this paper, the sources and influences of the perturbations in the 3+1/2-cell cavity are discussed. It is shown that the control system is essential for the cavity. The design of a feedback based digital RF low level control system for the 3+1/2-cell cavity is accomplished.     

RF system design and measurement of HIRF-CSRe

An RF system for the CSRe （cooling storage experimental ring） is designed and manufactured domestically. The present paper mainly describes the RF system design in five main sections： ferrite ring, RF cavity, RF generator, low level system and cavity cooling. The cavity is based on a type of coaxial resonator which is shorted at the end with one gap and loaded with domestic ferrite rings. The RF generator is designed in the push-pull mode and the low level control system is based on a DSP＋FGPA＋DDS＋USB interface and has three feedback loops. Finally we give the results of the measurement on our system.     

Design and performance of the LLRF system for CSNS/RCS

The rapid cycling synchrotron(RCS) is part of the China Spallation Neutron Source(CSNS). The RCS provides 1.6 Ge V protons with a repetition rate of 25 Hz. The RF system in RCS is mainly composed of a ferrite loaded RF cavity, a high power tetrode amplifier, a bias supply of 3300 A and a digital low level RF(LLRF) system based on FPGA. The major challenge of the LLRF system is to solve problems caused by rapid frequency sweeping and the heavy beam loading effect. A total of eight control loops are applied to ensure the normal operation. An effective feedforward scheme is widely used to improve the dynamic performance of the system. The design of the LLRF system and high power integration test results with the prototype RF system are presented.

用于HIRFL-CSRm纵向压缩高频腔的磁合金环测试

在HIRFL-CSRm上进行高能量密度物理和等离子体物理的研究需要一个能提供高电压的高频腔来对束团进行纵向压缩, 而磁合金加载腔获得较高的加速场梯度可以满足这一要求, 且腔体不需要调谐, 从而简化了高频控制系统。为了选择磁导率和阻抗较大、Q值(品质因数)小于1的磁合金材料来加载压缩高频腔, 对型号为V和A的两种磁合金材料进行了测试。测试结果表明: 型号为V的材料具有较大的磁导率、 阻抗和小于1的Q值, 将被用来加载腔体以获得足够高的加速电场梯度。A high voltage RF cavity is required to compress the beam bunch in the longitudinal for high energy density physics and plasma physics research at HIRFL CSRm. A magnetic alloy (MA) loaded cavity which has high acceleration gradient and without tuning loop (can simplify the RF control system), can meet the requirement. In order to select a proper MA material with higher permeability and shunt impe dance, Q< 1 value to load the RF compression cavity, two different MA materials V and A have been tes ted. The results indicate that the material V will be better for the construction of the RF cavity than material A because of its higher permeability and shunt impedance, Q< 1 value.     

Electromagnetic characteristics of the CH cavity

In this paper, we present the RF simulation, the fabrication and the normal RF test of a six-cell copper model cross bar H mode (CH) cavity. The CH cavity was researched and developed at the Institute of Modern Physics for Injector II of the superconducting linac of the accelerator driven system of China, operating at a frequency 162.5 MHz, β=0.065. The deep drawing and electron beam welding were employed to fabricate this cavity, which would be used to develop the superconducting CH cavity in the future. The results of the normal RF test agree with the simulation of the electromagnetic properties, such as the electric field distribution on the cavity axis, frequency and Q factor.     

Enhancing coupling coefficient in a hybrid nanotoroid–nanowire system

Enhancing light–matter interaction in cavity quantum electrodynamics has aroused widespread interests in on-chip quantum information processing. Here, we propose a hybrid nanotoroid–nanowire system to enhance photon–exciton interaction. A nanoscale gap is formed by placing a dielectric nanowire close to a dielectric nanotoroid, where the coupling coefficient between photon and emitter can achieve 5.55 times of that without nanogap. Meanwhile, the cavity loss and spontaneous emission of the emitter will remain at a small value to guarantee the realization of strong coupling. The method might hold promise for the research of nanophotonics,quantum optics, and novel optical devices.     

HIRFL数字化高频低电平控制系统研究

在HIRFL加速器系统中, 需要对射频加速电压的幅度和相位进行精确控制,以实现对重离子的精确俘获、 加速和引出。传统的幅度、相位稳定控制系统采用幅度和相位两个反馈闭合环路来分别稳定腔体电压的幅度和相位。 数字化高频低电平控制系统(LLRF) 基于可编程逻辑门阵列（FPGA）和数字信号处理（DSP）, 采用直接数字频率合成（DDS）与数字正交调制解调（I/Q）技术来实现对高频功率源的控制。 相位控制精度更高, 系统更加稳定。 目前控制系统在假负载上通过了长期稳定性的实验和高功率实验, 幅度偏差小于或等于±1％, 相位偏差小于或等于±0.5°。 In order to ensure that the beam quality is well enough, we need to precisely control the frequency, amplitude and phase of cavity electric field. Traditional control system consists of amplitude loop and phase loop. And these two loops control amplitude and phase stability respectively. The digital low level radio frequency (LLRF) system, which uses advanced digital control technology, needs only one feed back loop to control amplitude and phase stability. The phase control precision and stability of the system are higher than the traditional control system. The LLRF system is based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) and digital signal processing (DSP), and implemented by direct digital frequency synthesis (DDS) and digital orthogonal modulation and demodulation (I/Q) technology. The digital LLRF system has been tested in a long term stability and high power experiments. The amplitude deviation is lower than ±1%, and phase control accuracy is within ±1°.      

A digital low-level radio-frequency system R&D for a 1.3 GHz nine-cell cavity

To test and verify the performance of the digital low-level radio-frequency (LLRF) and tuner system designed by the IHEP RF group, an experimental platform with a retired KEK 1.3 GHz nine-cell cavity is set up. A radio-frequency (RF) field is established successfully in the cavity and the frequency of the cavity is locked by the tuner in ±0.5° (about ±1.2 kHz) at room temperature. The digital LLRF system performs well in a five-hour experiment, and the results show that the system achieves field stability at amplitude <0.1% (peak to peak) and phase <0.1° (peak to peak). This index satisfies the requirements of the International Linear Collider (ILC), and this paper describes this closed-loop experiment of the LLRF system.

All feedback algorithms are performed in FPGA. The long term of the test prototype with high power shows that the variations of the RF amplitude and the phase in the accelerating cavity are less than 1% and 1° respectively, and the variation of the cavity resonance frequency is controlled within ±10 Hz.
