  1. Linac4 & SPLStatus of preparation and OpportunitiesM. Vretenar (R. Garoby) DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  2. SPL (1) SPL = Superconducting Proton Linac a 4 MW / 3.5 GeV linear accelerator to: • increase the performance of the CERN high energy accelerators (PS, SPS & LHC) • address the needs of future physics experiments with neutrinos and radio-active ion beams DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  3. SPL (2) • Initial design (Conceptual Design Report 1): • “optimized” for a neutrino factory • assumed the use of LEP cavities & klystrons up to the highest energy • Revised design in progress (CDR 2): • based on updated physics’ requests • using 704 MHz RF and bulk Niobium cavities • in collaboration with CEA-Saclay & INFN-Milano • to be published in 2005 • Up-to-date information is available: • on the CERN EDMS • on the SPL site: http://project-spl.web.cern.ch/project-spl/ DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  4. SPL stages Three stages are planned: • Stage 1: 3 MeV test place Þ development and test of linac equipment, beam characterization • Stage 2: Linac4 • New linac replacing the present injector of the PS Booster (Linac2) • Front-end of the future SPL Þ improvement of the beams for physics (higher performance and easier operation for LHC, ISOLDE etc.) • Stage 3: SPL • New injector for the PS, replacing the PS Booster • New physics experiments using a high proton flux Þ improvement of the beams for physics and possibility of new experiments DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  6. Linac4 Schedule Linac4 (160 MeV, H-) will double the intensity and brightness of the beam out of the PSB.  Support by the DG for a decision on construction at end 2006. Tentative schedule: • 2005-06 Continuation of R&D • 2006 (end) Linac4 Design Report(basic design frozen) • 2007 Detailed design (=execution drawings!), definition of construction strategy, attribution of contracts • 2008-09 Construction • 2010 End of installation and commissioning DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  7. Linac4 collaborations INDIA: klystron power supplies CHINA: quadrupoles, bendings, buncher IPHI HIPPI ISTC # 2888 & 2889 SCL ISTC # 2875 Network of collaborations for the R&D phase, via EU-FP6, CERN-CEA/IN2P3, ISTC, CERN-India and CERN-China agreements. The same network should support the construction of Linac4. DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  8. Shunt Impedance Effective shunt impedance ZT2 along Linac4 Superfish calculation, not scaled • The section between ~90 MeV and ~200 MeV is the most difficult for modern linacs: • DTL-like structures present a sharp decrease in shunt impedance. • Superconducting structures are not yet effective (low real estate gradient). • Usual p-mode NC structures (CCL, SCL) at double frequency are considered expensive. DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  9. The nominal Linac4 solution: a Side Coupled Linac RF power source: 4 MW, 704 MHz klystrons similar to SNS – (offer from Thales) DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  10. More on the SCL Chain of cells, coupled via slots and off-axis coupling cells. Invented at Los Alamos in the 60’s. Operates in the p/2 mode (stability). CERN SCL design: Each klystron feeds 5 tanks of 11 accelerating cells each, connected by 3-cell bridge couplers. Quadrupoles are placed between tanks. DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  11. Example: the SCL for SNS DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  12. Side Coupled cells Copper units made of one half accelerating cell and one half coupling cell, precisely machined (0.03mm) and brazed. 2 half cells with magnetic field lines 1 half cell with one half bridge coupler DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  13. SNS SCL Construction Cell precision machining on a lathe – RF measurements after machining and before brazing DAPNIA 9/01/2006 Vertical brazing in the oven – final RF tuning, bead-pull measurement of field in the module

  14. Options for CERN SCL construction Present status of Side Coupled Linac studies: * Studied inside HIPPI, jointly by CERN and LPSC Grenoble. Linac design (CERN), thermal analysis (LPSC), RF errors (LPSC, CERN), cell design. * Cold model will be built by LPSC (2006). * Technological model (Cu, brazed) will be built by BINP-Novossibirsk (2006). * INFN-Naples joins now the collaboration (bridge coupler design, stability). The construction of a Side Coupled Linac requires a difficult integration of technologies: Procurement of forged copper - Precision machining on Cu – First RF tuning before brazing – Brazing – Final RF tuning. Note that these technologies are very similar to those used for RFQ’s! • Options for construction (2007-2009): • Contract with ACCEL (has built the SNS SCL). • Construction in Russia (some interest by BINP). • Construction in Italy (INFN-Na ready, INFN interest still to be checked) • Construction in France…? DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  15. A superconducting alternative to the SCL? SCL can have another meaning: Super Conducting Linac. A SC section could replace the Side-Coupled, providing that we can obtain real-estate gradients ~2.5 MV/m. Needs investment for the cryogenic infrastructure, justified in the optics of an SPL following Linac4. SCL tanks (700 MHz) Spoke cavities (SC) (350 MHz) RF requirements: beam power 2.8 MW - 20 units 100 kW, 352 MHz - 3 klystrons 1 MW, 352 MHz - 1 klystron 4 MW, 704 MHz DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  16. Spoke, 352 MHz Focusing period in present design 90-160 MeV (FODO): ~ 1.5 m  compatible with Triple-spoke Triple-spoke designed at FZJ for HIPPI (E. Zaplatine): 0.78 m cavity length for b=0.5 E0T = 6.4 MV/m no freq. jump * Low efficiency at 90 MeV. * Do we need a double spoke at lower energy (but b=0.35 probably too low)? * Can we fit it in a cryostat ~ 1.2m long (to keep focusing distance)? * Can we feed 8 of these cavities from a single LEP klystron? DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  17. Elliptical, 704 MHz Elliptical cavities at b=0.5 (CEA, INFN) are giving excellent results. Length ~ 0.9m Designed for 12 MV/m. * Require longer focusing period (~1.5 m). * Low efficiency at 90 MeV. * How many cavities can we feed with one klystron? * We could use the SPL-CDR2 layout, with superconducting quadrupoles and long cryostats, but long R&D time for superconducting quadrupoles. DAPNIA 9/01/2006

  18. Summary for SC options • A superconducting option is attractive for the high-energy part of Linac4, but has to compete with the conventional Side Coupled Linac. • As a preliminary step in order to compare options we need layouts (mid 2006 ?) for both spoke and elliptical cavities, with a first beam dynamics analysis to be done in the frame of the HIPPI Activity (see ESAC recommendations). • To compete with the SCL, average real estate gradient should be > 2.2 MeV/m. • The option of cold quadrupoles (as for SPL) can be considered, but time is short to have it fully developed by end 2006. • The RF power system can be a cost driver even for a SC linac, if one cannot drive at least 8 cavities/klystron.

  19. Global planning RF tests in SM 18 of prototype structures* for Linac4 * Quotes from R. Aymar (Jan.2005) 3 MeV test place ready SPL approval * “in 2009-2010, to review and redefine the strategy for CERN activities in the next decade 2011-2020 in the light of the first results from LHC and of progress and results from the previous actions. “ Linac4 approval * “… in 2006-2007, to decide on the implementation of the Linac 4 and any increased R&D programme, depending on new funds made available and on a new HR policy” CDR 2 DAPNIA 9/01/2006
