  2. R&D on linear colliders e+/e- at Fermilab

  3. THE TESLA ACCELERATOR • 9-cells superconducting cavities • Must achieve 40 MV/m to get 0.8 TeV COM. • Today ~ 33 MV/m. • To develop the technology of TESLA: installation at DESY (Hamburg) of a TESLA TEST FACILITY accelerator.

  4. THE TESLA TEST FACILITY ACCELERATOR ~ 100 meters • Fermilab contribution to TTF : - design, fabrication and commissioning of the TTF injector (Nov 98). - design and prototyping of RF couplers for the cavities. - design and prototyping of long-pulse modulators for the klystrons.

  12. The two regimes of the A0 laser system : UNSTACKED LASER PULSE 4.2 ps FWHM / 20 µJ STACKED LASER PULSE 10.8 ps FWHM / 10 µJ

  13. THE PHOTO-CATHODE PREPARATION CHAMBER (INFN-Milano) • Coat Mo cathodes with a layer of Cs2Te, a material of high quantum efficiency (QE). • Use manipulator arms to transfer the cathode from the preparation chamber into the RF gun while remaining in UHV. • Cathodes must remain in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) for its entire useful life, because residual gases degrade the QE. • Contamination can be reversed by rejuvenation: heat cathode to ~230 C for some minutes. • The same cathode has been used in the RF gun for ~2 years without degradation of its QE (~0.5-3%)

  14. THE RF GUN AND SOLENOIDS (Fermilab & UCLA) RF GUN • RF gun and solenoids developed by Fermilab and UCLA. BUCKING SOLENOID PRIMARY SOLENOID SECONDARY SOLENOID Gun parameters • 1.5-cell copper cavity designed for a high duty cycle (0.8%).

Bz --> 2059 G (385A) • Secondary max. Bz --> 806 G (312 A)

  15. THE CAPTURE CAVITY (DESY & SACLAY/ORSAY) & THE CHICANE (Fermilab) CAPTURE CAVITY CHICANE Capture cavity parameters • 9-cell L-band superconducting cavity of TTF type. • Operated daily at 12 MV/m on axis. Chicane parameters • 4 dipoles of equal strengths, 2 with trapezoid poles and 2 with parallelogram poles. • Operated @ 2A, ~700 Gauss. • Bend in the vertical plane • Compression ratio ~5 - 6 (theory and measurements)

  27. TRANSVERSE EMITTANCE MEASUREMENTS • The photo-injector is a set of 8 parameters: Laser RF Gun Capture Cavity • Goal: find for a charge Q, the set of parameters that gives the min. transverse emittance. • Remark: for all the emittance measurements, the chicane was OFF and DEGAUSSED.

  28. • How do we measure the transverse emittance at A0: using slits • Slits width: 50 µm • Slits spacing: 1mm

  29. Location of the emittance slits ~ 3.8 m ~ 6.5 m ~ 9.5 m
