Status of x-band structure tests at SLAC HDX11 made out of Copper and Molybdenum by CERNH75vg3S18 and T53vg3MC from the NLC program Structure working group 16.5.2007
Status of x-band structure tests at SLAC We are the hot topic ! ILC-News Letter
Scientific Motivation for the CLIC X-band proposal • Test HDS geometry and technology at high power {low phase advance, slotted iris, 4 quadrant design} • Test design optimization logic {constrains: surface field and Power*sqrt (pulse length)} • Benchmark with well known NLC copper data • Learn about material dependence (Cu vs Mo) • Learn about frequency dependence {similar tests at 30 GHz in CFT3 in 2006} • Get more statistics We are not aiming to demonstrate the CLIC structure or the CLIC gradient at X-band with these experiments !
HDX11 Mo 50ns 75MV/m
Conditioning history at 50 ns and 100 ns so far Run 100 MV/m; 50 ns ~2*10-5 Start 100 ns
T53 50ns 100MV/m No breakdown in 25 hours
Quick and Dirty Beta Measurement with Veetest at 100 ns down stream Calibration needed to evaluate dark current
HDX11 conditioning statistics Or what it takes to break a structure Copper: ~ 20000 Break downs ~ 50 hours initial conditioning ~ 600 hours Damaged Molybdenum (preliminary): ~ 11500 Break downs ~ 500 h so far “most likely damaged too” Duration: 6 weeks with 5 weeks experiment
Areas of Interest Besides the Regular Irises High Current Region Scattered Dark Spots Input Coupler Iris Patchy breakdown areas along sides of irises Areas of Discoloration
HDX11 Cu post mortem inspection Input Output
Comparing initial conditioning Conditioning: HDX11_Cu: 15 h, 40 ns, 80 MV/m HDX11_Mo: 50 h, 40 ns, 75-80 MV/m T53vg3MC: 10h, 50 ns, 120 MV/m ( was previously conditioned to 95 MV/m 2h, 50 ns, 80 MV/m C30vg4_W: 40h, 30 ns, 80 MV/m 90h, 30 ns, 110 MV/m C30vg4_Mo: >200h, 30 ns, 80 MV/m Refractory metals condition slower than copper Possible beneficial heat treatment is lost after weeks on air
Breakdown Rates Frequency scaling experiment HDS vs HDX scaled structures show very similar performance
More Breakdown Rates All HDS-type structures tested so far HDS performs consistently worse than round structuresNo significant improvement for other materials over Copper
Even More Breakdown Rates All HDS-type structures tested so far HDS performs consistently worse than round structuresNo significant improvement for other materials over Copper
Breakdown Rates Frequency scaling experiment of 3.5 mm round Again frequency scaling not inconsistentSlope most likely due to iris clamping
Breakdown Rates Looks pretty good to me The Wuenschlist HDX; 60 MV/m; 70 ns = 9 wue T53; 110 MV/m; 50 ns = 18 wue T53; 105 MV/m; 100 ns = 20 wue H75; 97 MV/m; 150 ns = 27 wue Power for: 100, 105, 110 MV/m 97, 107, 118 MW
Conclusions on recent x-band tests • Typical slow processing for Moly • Slope similar to Copper • New Hypothesis: slope is not determined by material or heating but by iris clamping ? • Heating does not help for processing or is lost after a few days • Molybdenum does not show a big advantage over Copper (Therefore focus even more on copper) • Frequency scaled structures have similar performance (BD vs grad) • HDX11 Cu revealed machining and alignment issues • Structures built out of milled bars with slots did perform worse than turned and brazed structures Structure manufacturing technology seems to play an important role The T53 could be used as a reference structure for CLIC
What does it mean for CLIC ? • ~27 Wuensches have been demonstrated (Design: 18-22 needed) • T53 based structures: 9% efficiency full length at 100 ns, 40 bunches T23vg3 should work (~14% efficiency structure demonstrated) {T23, 100 bunches at 4e9, 95 MW, T33, 80 bunches, 105 MW} • See if CLICvg1 shows a better performance • Damping has to be integrated and demonstrated • ‘Old school rules’ , get engaged again with round, brazed structures made out of copper
