  1. SPS Crab Cavity Support Structure Functional Specification

  2. Why It’s Needed • Before installation into the LHC the cavities need to be tested within the SPS. To be tested in COLDEX area of SPS • The cavities must be physically moved into the beam when testing is being conducted and then removed from the beam when the beam is being injected into the LHC. • This movement will be done when there is no beam currently in the SPS.

  3. Load Requirements • Expected loads on the structure: • Cryomodule (including cavity) ~1555 kg (UK-4ROD) • Cryogenic service module ~500 kg • Circulators 2 x ~250 kg Total load ≈ 2505 kg • What’s not yet accounted for: • Weight of coaxials. • Stiffness of cryo transfer line [KB to give estimate]. • Stiffness of Y-chamber bellows. • Support table must provide a nominal movement of 2 x 510 mm per cycle. • Require lifetime for the testing is 1000 cycles.

  4. Feasibility Study (30 minute movement) • Static support structure. • Mobile table mounted on static structure by linear bearings. • Cryomodule, circulators and cryo-service module mounted on the mobile table. • Transverse movement: • Two ball screws, either end of the cryomodule. • Each actuated by an electric (stepper)motor via gearing. • Torque for each screw: 0.8 Nm at 18.8 rad/s (constant speed). • Collimator motor pull-out torque 1.4 Nm at 18.8 rad/s.

  5. Timescale • Max timescale allows for movement: 30 minutes. • Min possible timescale for movement: ~20 minutes (depending on motor). • Other considerations: • Max allowed acceleration on cryomodule is 0.2g • Minimise the forces on the outer wall of the power couplers. • Minimise the chance of the formation of particulates in the bellows. • Danger of damaging cryogenic transfer lines.

  6. Positioning • Structure must be able to provide a six-degrees of freedom translation to the loads. • Four axes for vertical movement. • Two axes for transverse movement. • Transverse movement must be remote due to active alignment being used whilst under beam conditions. • Manual vertical adjustment.

  7. Positioning Requirements • Positioning requirements:: • Max transverse movement range 550 mm • Max vertical movement range 50 mm • Positioning accuracy ±500 µm • Precision ±100 µm • Allowable transverse tilt 330 µrad

  8. Additional Requirements • Use feedback from the beams closed-orbit for greater positioning accuracy. • BPMs either side of cryomodule. • Or, Using power output of the cavity. • Feedback for active adjustment due to closed orbit drift. • Ensure that the cavity's axis is within 1σ (0.7mm) of the beam.
