  3. OUTLINE • Design Overview • Realization • High power RF test at KEK

  4. SPARC PHOTO-INJECTOR RF GUN: -2.856 GHz -1.6 cell Solenoids LINAC: -S BAND -3 sections (3 m long) -Diagnostics (RF deflector) -quadrupoles matching -seeding UNDULATORS SPARC

  5. SPARC ENERGY UPGRADE WITH C BAND SYSTEM ACC. SECTION GUN The SPARC energy will be upgraded from 170 to >240 MeV by replacing a low gradient S-band traveling wave section with two C-band units. We decided to implement this system at SPARC to explore the C Band acceleration (RF components, construction at LNF TW sections, SLED, syncronization) in hybrid scheme with S Band: -Higher gradients -Very promising from the beam dynamics point of view Klystron N°1 3 dB splitter ATT E ≈ 170 MeV 20 ÷ 22 MV/m ≈ 130 MeV ACC. SECTION ACC. SECTION PULSE COMPRESSOR ≈ 13 MV/m Klystron N°2 C-band acc. structures > 35 MV/m • The new C-band system consists mainly of: •  2 accelerating sections (1.4 m long) •  1 C-band klystron (50 MW), by Toshiba Ltd (JP) •  1 Pulsed HV modulator supplied by ScandiNova (S) •  WR187 waveguide system • 400 W solid state driver supplied by MitecTelecom (CDN) • SLED E > 240 MeV 1.4 m 1.4 m ≈ 50 MW ≈ 50 MW (Half pulse) C-band Station 2.5 μs ≈ 100 MW/0.20μs 5712 MHz – 50 MW C-band ENERGY COMPRESSOR

  6. THE C BAND STRUCTURE AND THE PROTOTYPE C BAND structure Splitter: to have a symmetric feeding system. Coupler design: based on the “new generation” of couplers proposed at SLAC for high gradient X Band structures (waveguide couplers) Single cell design: optimized to work with a SLED RF pulse (and many dicussions with V. Dolgashev during his visit in Italy) Previous the construction of the two TW sections, a prototype with a reduced number of cells, has been realized. The goals of this prototype were: -test all design and construction procedure -test the structure at high power at KEK (Japan) in the framework of a collaboration between LNF-KEK.

  7. SINGLE CELL DESIGN The structure has been designed as TW constant impedance (cells with equal radius) in order to: -simplify the fabrication -reduce the peaksurface field when the structure is feed by a SLED pulse -reduce the unbalance between the accelerating field at the entrance and at the end of the structure, due to the combination of power dissipation along the structure and SLED pulse profile. Elliptical shape The single cell has been designed: -exploring the different TW cell parameters as a functiion of the iris aperture (a), thickness (t) and ellipticity (r1/r2). -combining the parameters with the real RF SLED pulse and calculating the maximum surface field, accelerating field,.... Elliptical shape (V. Dolgashev)

  8. STRUCTURE FINAL PARAMETERS ( with no coupler) The dimensions of the single cell have been optimized to simultaneously obtain: -lowest peak surface electric field on the irises with the SLED input pulse; -an average accelerating field of, at least, 35 MV/m with the available power from the klystron; -the largest iris aperture for better pumping, reduced wakefields contribution and reduced filling time of the structure (related to the breakdown rate probability).

  9. COUPLER DESIGN The design of the coupler has been divided in two parts: -the design of the waveguide coupler; -the design of the splitter. splitter Advantages: -integrated symmetric feeding -low H field  pulsed heating -Better pumping waveguide coupler Disadvantage: -multipolar field components (quadrupole) The analysis of the multipolar field components have been done (see technical note (D. Alesini et al.).

  10. STRUCTURE REALIZATION

  12. BRAZING @ LNF • The structure has been brazed @ LNF in several steps: • -Cells • Couplers • Final brazing • Intermediate RF measurements have been done during realization Main problem during the realization: -alignment of coupler and cells in the final brazing process

  13. HIGH POWER TESTS AT KEK: TEST AREA (1/2) SLED Prototype

  15. For the SLED design we investigated cavities with ellipsoid – like shape in order to increase the quality factor Qoand remove the modes degeneration. P. Fernandes, R. Parodi, C. Salvo, B. Spataro: "The Design of the TE Storage Cavities for a RF Pulse Compressor System". NIM A 288 (1990) pp. 549-554. TE037 storage cavity TE028 storage cavity Frequency 5712 MHz Qo = 135000 (unloaded) β = 6 ΔF ~ 13 MHz (min. frequency separation ) Relevant sizes : L ~ 24 cm ( cavity axial length) L/D = 1 ( with D the cavity diameter)

  16. CONCLUSIONS FOR THE C BAND • Design: SLED oriented, large irises, low filling time • (D.
