International Linear Collider (ILC) Linac BasicsPart I: General Design ConstraintsPart II: ILC Design ChoicesChris AdolphsenSLAC
Bob Palmer 1990 Part I: General Design Constraints • Linear collider design is complex due to the interrelationships among the various parameters and the soft constraints on their values. • I will give one or many possible descriptions of the rationale behind the ILC linac design.
1.3 GHz TESLACavities • Made with solid, pure niobium – it has the highest Critical Temperature (Tc = 9.2 K) and Thermodynamic Critical Field (Bc ~ 1800 Gauss) of all metals. • Nb sheets are deep-drawn to make cups, which are e-beam welded to form cavities. • Cavity limited to ~ 9 cells (~ 1 m Long) to reduce trapped modes, input coupler power and sensitivity to frequency errors. • Iris radius (a) of 35 mm chosen in tradeoff for low surface fields, low rf losses (~ a), large mode spacing (~ a3 ), small wakes (~ a-3.5 ).
The Basics • The low rf surface losses in superconducting cavities allow essentially 100% RF-to-beam transfer efficiency in steady state: RF Input Power = Cavity Voltage * Beam Current • First look at what limits cavity voltage (gradient * cavity length) • Note: highest gradient not always cost optimal !
Niobium Surface Resistance Qo ~ 2e10 at T = 2K 4.6 3.1 2.3 1.8 1.5 1.3 Temperature (K) Cavity Operating Parameters • Operate at 2K (in super-fluid He) to reduce resistivity: • 1.3 GHz frequency (f) chosen to reduce power loss, sensitivity to thermal instabilities, wakes, and cavity size and to match available sources. • At Qo = 1e10, cavity time constant (Qo/w) ~ 1 sec, and at 35 MV/m and 0.1% duty factor, average power loss ~ 1 W/m (but it takes ~ 1 kW/m of AC power to remove heat).
Operating Gradient • Qo varies with gradient due to a number of mechanisms. • In recent years, gradients are approaching fundamental limit: Bc * (Grad / Bsurface) ~ 1800/41.5 ~ 43 MV/m Best 9 Cell Cavity Result to Date: CW Performance of a Cavity Electro-Polished at DESY Qo Gradient (MV/m)
The Basics (2) • The low rf wall losses in superconducting cavities allow essentially 100% RF-to-beam transfer efficiency in steady state: 1.3 GHz Input Power = 25-50 MV/m * 1m * Beam Current • Next look at beam structure • Beam Current = Bunch Charge / Bunch Spacing • Bunch Train Length = Number of Bunches * Bunch Spacing
Iris Radius a Bunch Bunch Charge and Length • Nominal Bunch Charge (N = 2e10) and Length (sz = 300 mm) • Mainly determined by damping ring, linac energy spread and IP considerations. • Bunch length reduced from 6 mm to 300 microns prior to linac injection • Also constrained by • Short-Range Transverse Wake Kicks (N sz / a 3.5 ) • Short-Range Loading (N / sz / a 2 ) Wakefield in a PETRA cavity
Number of Bunches per Pulse, Repetition Rate, Luminosity and AC Power • Luminosity ~ Rep Rate ´ Number of Bunches per Pulse • Repetition rate (5 Hz) constrained by damping ring store time (see next slide). • Number of Bunches per Pulse constrained by • Train Length > Cavity Fill Time: for > 50% rf-to-beam efficiency, minimum number of bunches is1870 (at 35 MV/m and 2e10 e/bunch) independent of bunch spacing ! • Length and cost of damping rings (newer, smaller designs assume smaller bunch separations). • Train Length < Max klystron pulse length (limited by pulse heating). • Product constrained by practical site power (few hundred MW). Would limit rep rate even damping rings did not.
Damping Ring Constraints • Optimal bunch train length very long (>> linac length), so • Minimize bunch spacing in the damping ring – limited by separation (3-20 ns) required to extract individual bunches with a kicker magnet. • Still, damping ring is long (17 km circumference in TDR, 6 km in current design), which makes the required store time long (200 ms), even with a few hundred meters of wigglers. • RF pulse length (1.4 ms) << store time so ring needs to hold full bunch train. • Store time limits machine repetition rate (5 Hz). Could increase wiggler length, but already about 20% of damping ring cost. Dog Bone Damping Ring
TESLA Design Choices(2001 TDR) Gradient = 23.4 MV/m Bunch Charge = 2e10 e Rep Rate = 5 Hz # of Bunches = 2820 Bunch Spacing = 337 nsBeam Current = 9.5 mA Input Power = 230 kW Fill Time = 420 ms Train Length = 950 ms
Bunch Spacing • Non-linac constraints on minimum spacing • Peak positron target heating • IP bunch separation • Weak linac constraints • Bunch coupling from long-range transverse wakefields • Steady state RF-to-Beam efficiency: w/Qo very high (much different than for a warm machine) • Strong linac constraints • Power source costs ~ 1 / Bunch Spacing • Cryogenic costs ~ Bunch Spacing
Klystron Economics • Cost of 1.3 GHz Klystron + Modulator (crude approximation) • Similar for similar average power • Independent of peak power. • However, rf energy per pulse differs greatly, for example, • 20 MW peak, 10 msec pulses (300 Hz, 60 kW) • 5 MW peak, 2 msec pulses (10 Hz, 100 kW) • 0.1 MW peak, CW • Number of klystrons ~ Cavity Input Power / Peak Klystron Power ~ 1 / Bunch Spacing (with fixed peak power) • With smaller bunch spacing, would not use full average klystron average power capability.
Bunch Spacing and Fill Time • Adjust Qext to match cavity impedance (R/Qo * Qext) to the beam impedance (Gradient / Current). So Fill Time ~ Bunch Spacing • For TDR parameters, Qext = 3e6 so cavity BW = 430 Hz. • Need to achieve < 0.1% energy gain uniformity.
Other Bunch Spacing Considerations Input Power • Input coupler power limitations • Power ~ 1 / Bunch Spacing • Baseline TTF3 design processed to 1 MW and tested up to 600 kW for 35 MV/m operation (1000 hours): long term reliability for required operation at 350 kW not known. Coaxial Power Coupler

Where Does the Power Go (NLC/GLC vs TESLA TDR Efficiencies and Average Power)
Cost Optimization • Major cost components that depend on Gradient (G) and Bunch Train Length (Tb). Cooling + Power + Length ~ A´ Tb´ G+ B´ Tb-1+ C´ G-1 • Cost Study: Compute Cost vs G and Tb for fixed Luminosity (L) • Assume charge per bunch and number of bunches constant • Cavity fill time (Tf) scales as G * Tb • RF pulse length (Trf) = Tb + Tfill

Operational Parameter Plane • Rather than a specific machine design, the baseline configuration is for an operating ‘plane’. • Four parameters sets proposed to achieve design peak luminosity: • Nominal. • Low bunch charge (Q). • Large vertical IP beam size (Large Y). • Low Beam Power (Low P). • Not strictly fixed sets -> used to define necessary operational flexibility.
Main Linac Design • Baseline Configuration Document (BCD) distilled from Snowmass Working Group recommendations in August 2005. • Major differences from 2001 Tesla TDR 500 GeV Design. • Higher gradient (31.5 MV/m instead of 23.4 MV/m) for cost savings. • Two tunnels (service and beam) instead of one for improved availability. • The Linac Area Group of the Global Design Effort (GDE) is continuing to evolve design.
1.3 GHz TESLACavities • For ILC, would accept only ‘vertically’ tested cavities (using CW rf without high power couplers) that achieve gradients > 35 MV/m and Q > 8e9 (discard or reprocess rejects). • When installed in 8 cavity cryomodules, expect stable operation at an average gradient of 31.5 MV/m and Q = 1e10 (rf system designed for 35 MV/m). • Derating due to desire for overhead from quench limit, lower installed performance and limitations from using a common rf source. • For a 1 TeV upgrade, expect average gradient = 36 MV/m, Q = 1e10 for new cavities (the TDR 800 GeV design assumed 35 MV/m and Q > 5e9).

Achieved Gradients in Single and 9-Cell Cavities • In recent years, single-cell cavity gradients approached fundamental limit: Bc * (Grad / Bsurface) ~ 1800/41.5 ~ 43 MV/m for Tesla-shape cavities. • During past 2.5 years, DESY has produced 6 fully-dressed cavities with Gradients > 35 MV/m and Q > 8e9. Yield for such cavities < 30%. Test Results for Dressed-Cavities that will be used in a ’35 MV/m’ Cryomodule

Studies also underway using single or large grain Nb – could eliminate need for Electro-Polishing (EP) BCP + 120C Baking
Both slow (500 kHz over minutes) and fast (2.5 kHz during the 1.6 ms pulse) tuning required – achieve by compressing the cavity (~ 1 micron per 300 Hz). Want tuners located away from cavity ends to minimize cavity spacing. ‘Blade Tuner’ shown below. To date, have not achieved more than ~1kHz range of fast tuning. Final design for BCD not yet chosen. Tuning the Cavities
RF Fill Dynamics • For ILC, Qext = 4e6 so cavity BW = 325 Hz (DL = 1 micron). • Need to achieve < 0.1% energy gain uniformity with Low Level RF (LLRF) system • Feedback to maintain constant ‘sum of fields’ in 24 cavities

Thales CPI Toshiba Klystrons Baseline: 10 MW Multi-Beam Klystrons (MBKs) with ~ 65% Efficiency: Being Developed by Three Tube Companies in Collaboration with DESY
Status of the 10 MW MBKs • Thales: Four tubes produced, gun arcing problem occured and seemed to be corrected in last two tubes after fixes applied (met spec). However, tubes recently developed other arcing problems above 8 MW. Thales to build two more without changes and two with changes after problem is better diagnosed. • CPI: One tube built and factory tested to 10 MW at short pulse. At DESY with full pulse testing, it developed vacuum leak after 8.3 MW achieved – has been repaired and will be tested again. • Toshiba: One tube built and achieved operation spec but developed arcing problems above 8 MW – being shipped to DESY for further evaluation. • These are vertically mounted tubes – DESY will soon ask for bids on horizontally mounted tubes for XFEL (also needed for ILC).
Alternative Tube Designs 5 MW Inductive Output Tube (IOT) 10 MW Sheet Beam Klystron (SBK) Low Voltage 10 MW MBK Parameters similar to 10 MW MBK Voltage 65 kV Current 238A More beams Perhaps use a Direct Switch Modulator Klystron Output IOT Drive SLAC CPI KEK
Klystron Summary • The 10 MW MBK is the baseline choice – continue to support tube companies to make them robust (DESY needs 35 for XFEL although will run at 5 MW). • SLAC funding design of a 10 MW sheet-beam klystron (will take several years to develop). • Backup 1: Thales 2104C 5 MW tube used at DESY and FNAL for testing – it appear reliable (in service for 30 years) but has lower effiency compared to MBKs (42% vs 65%). • Backup 2: With increased DOE funding next year, propose to contract tube companies to develop high efficiency, single-beam, 5 MW klystron.
