Second Harmonic capture in the IPNS RCS: Transition from SH to fundamental rf operation during the acceleration cycle using CAPTURE_SPC Jeff Dooling Presented at The Ninth Second Harmonic RF/Low Output-Impedance Amplifier Collaboration Meeting Argonne National Laboratory, June 14-15, 2004
Motivation • Currently, we believe our ferrite will not allow second harmonic (SH) rf operation up to the maximum acceleration frequency— 5.15 MHz x 2 = 10. 3 MHz • Most loss occurs at injection • Can we run SH early in cycle using the new 3rd cavity, switching to fundamental later and still realize a net increase in current?

Goal: Full SH rf for the full acceleration cycle(the following animation includes the phase ramp)
Modify CAPTURE to include d(t) * CALL CPfield( tn, evol, fnuS, omegaS, & flagrf, Nrfpoints, rf_time, rf_evol, & rf_sh_phase, Imax, secHarmPhase ) * * CALL CPfield( tn, evol, fnuS, omegaS, & flagrf, Nrfpoints, rf_time, rf_evol, & rf_sh_phase, rf_sh_ampl, Imax, & secHarmPhase, secHarmFactor ) *
CASE 1: Run SH at d=0.55 for the first 4 ms Ramp SH to 0 between 4 and 5 ms Leave Vrf unchanged CASE 2: Run SH at d=0.55 for the first 4 ms Ramp SH to 0 between 4 and 5 ms Ramp Vrf to 1.55*Vrf between 5 and 6 ms Two cases
Second Harmonic rf early, d=0.55ramping off between 4 and 5 ms
Second Harmonic rf early, d=0.55; ramping off between 4 and 5 ms; ramping back on in the fundamental between 5 and 6 ms (to 1.55*Vrf)
Observations • Transmission efficiency improves with SH rf even when no further rf is applied • Ramping back on Vrf shuts off the loss by increasing the bucket size • Timing is important—implied in these simulations is the fact that the third cavity is being made to go from full SH voltage to full fundamental voltage in 2 ms. • May not need to go to full 1.55*Vrf in the fundamental to gain efficiency
According to Chao, the limiting tune shift is, One way to look at this is to say that SH effectively moves injection to higher energy --A . W. Chao, Physics of Collective Beam Instabilities in High Energy Accelerators, Wiley, New York, 1993, p. 14. Why does SH early improve capture efficiency when no additional rf is applied
Conclusions Third cavity, even with limited SH capability, will allow for important capture studies. Also, the 3rd cavity may provide a modest improvement in RCS beam current limit.
