The ILCTA_MDB Horizontal Test Stand for SRF Cavities Andy Hocker FNAL-TD AEM, 25-JUN-2007
Horizontal Testing --- Context Fail! Cavity Fabrication Surface Processing Vertical Testing Fail! Pass! Horizontal Testing Surface Processing Cavity Dressing Pass! Cold String Assembly AEM
MDB: Lay of the Land Horizontal test area for ILC RF Hut Vertical Test area for HINS AEM
HTS Cave and RF Hut WG switch charging supply 300 kW klystron modulator RF waveguide (1.3 and 3.9 GHz) LHe/LN2 feed can Horizontal Test Cryostat (HTC) High power pulsed RF system (operated w/ CC2 for > 1 yr) AEM
Typical HTS test cycle • Install cavity in HTC • Warm, off-resonance coupler conditioning (high pulsed power processing) • Cooldown to 1.8 K • On-resonance conditioning of coupler/cavity • Map out Q0 vs Eacc curve • Test new widgets, etc. • Warmup • Remove cavity • Goal: ~10 day turnaround Geophones (ILC CM vibration R&D) AEM
C22 prep (“dressing”) Cavity tuner installation Installation of cold part of input coupler at CAF-MP9 clean room Ready to install in HTC Installation of warm part of input coupler AEM
First measurement at HTS • Room-temperature measurement of fundamental passband modes • Zoom of “pi-mode” (accelerating mode) AEM
Status and plans • Struggling with cavity cooldown • Identified a leaky liquid level probe as culprit, repairing this week, go for cooldown again • Finishing up RF distribution/interlock checkout • Installing WG shutters to allow for multi-cave (HTS and CC2) configuration • Finishing up safety paperwork, final walk-through soon • After RF checkout, begin commissioning • Execute HTS test cycle (~1 month) • Declare open for business • First customer: FNAL third-harmonic (3.9 GHz) cavity for DESY’s FLASH facility • 1.3 GHz cavities for first US-built ILC CM as schedule allows AEM
