A Transverse Deflecting Cavity for Longitudinal Beam Measurements on VELA Louise Cowie
Contents • VELA • The transverse deflecting cavity and how it works • Design choices • Results • Conclusion
TDC • S-band cavity operating at 2.9985 GHz and providing a 5 MV kick • The cavity gives each electron in the bunch a transverse kick that is proportional to its position • Converts longitudinal to transverse distribution
Transverse force • The force on an electron is • To give an electron travelling in the z direction a transverse kick in the y direction requires either -An electric field in the y direction -A magnetic field in the x direction • Use what is known as a dipole-like mode: TM1np, TE1np
TM110 Magnetic field force
Beam pipe E field Electric field
Number of cells • Chose a 9 cell 2.9985 GHz cavity as a compromise between HOM separation and shunt impedance. • The cumulative transverse voltage should be around 5 MV • Cell length = one half wavelength = 50 mm • Required gradient = 5 MV / 450mm = 11.11 MV/m
Cell Shape • Chose a well understood multi-cell pillbox shape • As used by Tsinghau University1 and SPARC2
End cells • The end cells were shortened to compensate for the effect of the beampipes. Dipole magnets will also be employed.
Mode separation • Coupler in middle cell does not excite even modes • Coupling holes separate the SOM • Iris radii chosen to maximise mode separation in the pass band • Nearest mode is 6.5 MHz away = 5x cavity bandwidth
Design Timeline Begin re-optimisation September 2012 3-cell prototype ordered March 2012 Begin design September 2011 • Design finished December 2011 • Design finished and 9-cell ordered • December 2012 • Field measurements • July/August 2012
Simulation Results • Frequency of cavity is 2.9985 GHz • R/Q of operating mode is 292.48 Ohms • Q0 = 16046 QE=16140
Conclusions • A 2.9985 GHz cavity giving a 5MV transverse kick was required for VELA • The cavity was designed to meet the requirements and the mechanical designs sent to RI for manufacture
