LHC luminosity ramp-up From: R. Garoby Linac4 + IR upgrade phase 1 “After 8 to 10 years, depending upon the rate of ramp-up of the LHC performance, the halving time of the statistical experimental errors will exceed 5 years.” (R. Garoby, LHC Project Report 1110) Early operation Collimation phase 2 Sergio Calatroni - 3.4.2009

Choice of EP • SPL goal: 25 MV/m accelerating field for β =1 • SPL goal: 19 MV/m accelerating field for β= 0.65 • These values have been chosen because they are (and we want to achieve) state-of-the art performance. • Must be obtained reliably on fully equipped cryomodules • Statistically, only EP processed cavities can reach these goals (FE, quenches, etc.) Sergio Calatroni - 3.4.2009

Low-β cavities HIPPI 704 MHz β=0.5 cavity Sergio Calatroni - 3.4.2009
Vertical EP • Vertical EP introduced for simplicity and safety of operation, better control of viscous diffusion layer, better reproducibility • However it was made possible by numerical modelling of EP process with the Elsy 2D/3D code, taking into account all chemical and electrical variables, for cathode shape optimisation, in order to prevent gas accumulation at the surfaces Cathode active region Uniform current density over all the cell surface Sergio Calatroni - 3.4.2009
Surface treatments: goals • Develop treatment for SPL sc cavities at CERN (In particular for β= 0.65) (*) The HPWR has not been operated for > 2 years. Diagnostics, controls, need to be replaced. All system needs cleaning/revamping. A proposal was made for last year (“SCRF facility”), we re-iterate this request for 2010 Sergio Calatroni - 3.4.2009
Vacuum: goals • Contribute to cryomodule design • Cryogenics/vacuum sectorisation • Coupler issues: surface treatments, outgassing Too early for clear definition of objectives and deliverables Sergio Calatroni - 3.4.2009
“ISOL: Such an instrument is essentially a target, ion source and an electromagnetic mass analyzer coupled in series. The apparatus is aid to be on-line when the material analyzed is directly the target of a nuclear bombardment, where reaction products of interest formed during the irradiation are slowed down and stopped in the system.

Exploring the nuclear landscape • A few-body system of hadrons (neutrons and protons) with many remaining question marks • “Largest” system where strong and weak interaction are manifested • “Applications” • Astrophysics – CERN PP • Condensed matter • Energy • Medicine From: M.

Post acceleration 2.2 MeV/u 3.1 MeV/u A < 45 4.3 MeV/u A < 85 • Challenges when accelerating radioactive ions: • Low intensity • Short half lives • Charge state A < 145 From: M. Lindroos Sergio Calatroni - 3.4.2009
HIE-ISOLDE beam parameters Sergio Calatroni - 3.4.2009
Why superconducting linac? • SC linacs maintain beam quality for energy variable machines • The maximum effective voltage can be applied to lighter masses so to have a higher final energy. • SC linacs provide the highest flexibility of operation • Quarter waver cavities already well-known in several labs • Nb/Cu technology chosen over bulk-Nb for mechanical stability (reduction of microphonics and sensitivity to He bath pressure), no magnetic shielding (simpler cryostat), lower cost Sergio Calatroni - 3.4.2009

Our mandate (-> present) • Lead the work to transform the RF design into a real accelerating cavity that satisfies design specifications. • Coordination of mechanical design: for the cavity, the coating system, the chemistry facilities and all related tooling. To set-up SC samples testing • Coordination of mechanical fabrication • Optimisation of surface treatment and coating • Definition of vacuum overall layout for cryomodule Sergio Calatroni - 3.4.2009

Cryostat design - ISOLDE The choice between common vacuum (beam and cryostat insulation) and separate vacuum has been studied in detail, each solution has been given a ranking as a function of several criteria. Published at LINAC ‘08 Sergio Calatroni - 3.4.2009
