Why CCDTL? • In the energy range 40-90 MeV the velocity of the particle is high enough to allow long drifts between focusing elements so that… • …we can put the quadrupoles lenses outside the drift tubes with some advantage for the shunt impedance but with great advantage for the installation and the alignment of the quadrupoles… • the final structure becomes easier to build and hence cheaper than a DTL. • The resonating mode is the p/2 which is intrinsically stable. 4

Layout design philosophy • Every tank has 3 accelerating gaps (2 drift tubes). • The klystron feeds a module that is made out of 3 tanks. • The level of the accelerating field from module to module is decreasing in order to have a even power load per klystron. • Synchronous phase is -20 deg. • Distance between tanks is constant (250 mm). This allow insertion of a quadrupole. 8
Voltage and Phase error study Results of a simulation of voltage and phase error for the synchronous particle with DV/V = 0.5% rms and Df = 0.5 deg rms Ref. M. Pasini, CARE/HIPPI Document-2005-006 10

CCDTL Prototype • A prototype consisting in 2 half accelerating cells and a full coupling cell has been built and assembled. • The delivery of the prototype was late by 6 months, mainly due to fabrication problems (steel quality) and copper plating preparation. (Finally successful at the 2 attempt). 15

Low Level Measurements After single cell tuning K=0.88% coupling coefficient The measured Q-value is only 61 % with respect to Superfish. The cavity however was not properly closed and the tuners used were made of aluminum. 27

Summary / Conclusions • A new reference layout has been calculated, the section length is now 25m (20% shorter then the previous layout) • Validation of the 20 degrees synchronous phase layout has been achieved. • Future layout will include a special subsection where the fields in the last 2 modules will be raised up in order to allow a smooth transition in term of longitudinal phase advance. This will imply the addition of one more klystron. 30
Summary / Conclusions • Calculation on the frequency error leads to tolerable error in the fields. • The prototype is completely assembled. A low level measurement campaign has been performed and results are reported. • Final assembly and tuning is foreseen in October and high power test in November. 31
