Study and design of RF coupler for Chinese ADS HWR superconducting cavity

An RF power coupler is a key component of the superconducting accelerating system in Chinese ADS proton linac injector I, which is used to transmit 15 kW RF power from the power source to the superconducting HWR cavity. According to the requirement of working frequency, power level, transmission capability and cooling condition, the physics design of coupler has been finished, which includes RF structure optimization, thermal simulation, thermal stress analysis and so on. Based on this design, the prototype of HWR coupler has been fabricated, and it has successfully passed the high power test.     

中国散裂中子源二期双spoke超导腔设计

中国散裂中子源是中国第一台、世界第四台脉冲型散裂中子源,其已于2020年2月达到100 kW功率的设计指标,运行稳定高效,供束效率位于国际前列。中国散裂中子源二期升级方案中总束流功率将升级到500 kW,其中直线加速器段将采用超导加速腔结构,束流能量由80 MeV提高到300 MeV。其中在80～165 MeV能量段采用324 MHz双spoke超导腔,在165～300 MeV能量段采用648 MHz 6-cell椭球超导腔。采用CST、COMSOL等仿真软件完成324 MHz双spoke超导腔的电磁、机械设计及优化,达到实际运行指标要求。为了提高腔运行的稳定性,在腔的设计中对E_P/E_acc着重进行了优化,使其尽量降低。

BXERL photo-injector based on a 217 MHz normal conducting RF gun

The Beijing X-ray Energy Recovery Linac (BXERL) test facility is proposed in Institute of High Physics (IHEP). In this proposal, the main linac requires the injector to provide an electron beam with 5 MeV energy and 10 mA average current. An injector based on DC gun technology is the first candidate electron source for BXERL. However, the field emission in the DC gun cavity makes it much more difficult to increase the high voltage to more than 500 kV. Another technology based on a 217 MHz normal conducting RF gun is proposed as the backup injector for this test facility. We have designed this RF gun with 2D SUPERFISH code and 3D MICROWAVE STUDIO code. In this paper, we present the optimized design of the gun cavity, the gun RF parameters and the set-up of the whole injector system. The detailed beam dynamics have been done and the simulation results show that the injector can generate electron bunches with RMS normalized emittance 1.0 uppi mmcdotmrad, bunch length 0.77 mm, beam energy 5.0 MeV and energy spread 0.60%.     

Development of a 500 MHz high power RF test stand

A flexible high power RF test stand has been designed and constructed at IHEP to test a variety of 500 MHz superconducting RF components for the upgrade project of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCⅡ), such as the input coupler, the higher order modes (HOMs) absorber and so on. A high power input coupler has been conditioned and tested with the RF power up to 250 kW in continuous wave (CW), traveling wave (TW) mode and 150 kW CW in standing wave (SW) mode. A prototype of the HOMs absorber has been tested to absorb power of 4.4 kW. An introduction of the test stand design, construction and high power tests is presented in this paper.     

325MHz超导腔输入耦合器镀铜层厚度的实验研究

通过对工作在325 MHz、镀铜厚度分别为10,20,30μm的耦合器外导体进行高功率测试,研究了超导腔输入耦合器外导体内壁镀铜层厚度与漏热的依赖关系,目的在于寻找最优化的铜层厚度来降低超导腔输入耦合器的低温漏热。实验结果表明,20μm铜层的耦合器具有较低的动态损耗。综合考虑静态损耗与动态损耗,则20μm铜层厚度为最优化的铜层厚度。     

Fabrication of the high power input coupler for BEPCⅡ superconducting cavities

The BEPCII storage ring adopts two 500 MHz superconducting cavities (SCC). Each one is equipped with a 500 MHz input power coupler. The coupler is to feed 150 kW power in continuous wave (CW) mode with both standing and traveling wave modes. Due to high power feeding and high frequency of the coupler, its fabrication is a big challenge. The fabrication started with two key components,the window and the antenna. Up to now, two sets including windows and antennas have been made by IHEP. And a 270 kW RF power in CW has passed through the coupler during the high power test. The fabrication details are presented in this paper.
