3.8.2 SC Linac Quad and BPM • Goals: • Characterize field properties of a prototype linac SC quad. • Verify quad center moves < 5 microns when the field strength is changed by 20% as required for beam based alignment. • Develop cavity BPMs with micron-scale resolution for multi-bunch (200 ns spacing) operation. • Project Description: • Acquired a prototype SC linac quad (80 mm bore, cos[2f] type) from CIEMAT/DESY. Building a warm-bore cryostat for it at SLAC. • Characterize quad magnetic field with a rotating coil, in particular, to measure any motion of the magnetic center when the field strength is varied. • S-band rf cavity bpms have been designed and a triplet built that will be tested with beam in End Station A (ESA). • BPMs have half the nominal aperture to simplify testing design concept and because it would be advantageous for the ILC. • In FY07, propose to test quad and bpms with beam to demonstrate required quad shunting performance.

S-Band (2.86 GHz) BPMMode Spectrum (monopole mode signals suppressed geometrically)
SC Quad/BPM Status • Magnet received from DESY in January after initial testing there in a vertical Dewar. Gas-filled leads received in March. • With help of Tom Nicol at FNAL, developed a low heat loss, stable support design for the He vessel. May adopt similar support structure for the ILC linac. • Cryostat drawings currently being submitted to the SLAC shops. • First tests of new magnet measuring coil planned during the next month using a NC quad. SC quad measurements planned for July. • BPM triplet built and installed on girder in ESA. Beam test to start April 24. • As of March 1, 2006 • Labor charges – 112 k$ (144 k$ allocated, 240 k$ requested last October) • M&S charges – 126 k$ (205 k$ allocated, 250 k$ requested last October) • Project at ~ 50% point with about half of the requested funding spent.
3.8.3 Coupler Development(LLNL / SLAC) • Goals: • Understand rf processing limitations (typically takes > 100 hours per coupler). • Assess effect of coupler coatings, bellows, and widows on processing time. • Propose changes to TTF3 design to improve performance and lower cost. • Project Description: • Eleven coaxial sections (40 mm ID, 70 Ohm) will be prepared that vary in terms of material (SS or Cu), bellows (none, 5 or 10 folds) and windows (with and without). • A general purpose waveguide (WR650) to coax adaptor has been designed to power the test sections in vacuum. • Use the L-band rf source that has been configured at NLCTA (currently produces 3.3 MW, 1 msec pulses at 5 Hz: need only ~ 2 MW).
Coupler Processing Studies Concern that the surface field variations in the bellows and near the windows may lead to excessive mulitpacting. Coupler Surface Field To understand processing limitations, plan to process coupler components individually. In particular, determine if bellows or the windows are the source of the long processing time.
Coupler Development Status • Have decided on basic layout of system to test coupler parts – drawings are being prepared • Setup uses a detachable center conductor and 50 cm long test sections • As of March 1, 2006 • 15 k$ labor charges (180 k$ allocated) • Zero M&S (100 k$ allocated) • Ready for first tests this Summer.
2.8.1 RF System Design • Doing tracking simulations of multipacting in the TTF3 couplers in conjunction with coupler R&D program. Will produce 3D map of multipacting 'activity' -vs- rf power and longitudinal position along the coupler outer surface. • Studying ways to reduce rf distribution costs: considering three changes to the basic design: • The circulators in the TDR design are a big cost item (~ 35% of total distribution system). To eliminate them, power the cavities in pairs using 3 dB hybrids, which would still isolate them. • Develop a variable tap-off system to feed the cavity pairs. • Replace the three-stub tuner with a mechanical squeeze type phase shifter that would adjusted after the system is setup. • As of March 1, 2006 • 83 k$ of labor charges (126 k$ allocated)
Bellows Primaries -Green, Secondaries- Red Multipacting Simulation of TTF3 Coupler “Cold Side”
Baseline RF Distribution System Similar to TDR and XFEL scheme. Alternate RF Distribution System With two-level power division and proper phase lengths, reflections from pairs of cavities are directed to loads. Also, fewer types of hybrid couplers are needed in this scheme. There is a small increased risk to klystrons (total reflection from a pair of cavities sends < 0.7% of klystron power back to the klystron.)
FY07-09 RF System Program • Goal: demonstrate viable, cost-optimal rf source for ILC. Operate six ‘production’ sources from industrial vendors by FY10. Supply power source and couplers for RF unit test at FNAL. • SLAC has substantial expertise in this area and ILC Americas expects SLAC to lead this program. Would be responsible for all components from the AC power to the couplers. • Program would be comparable in size to that during NLC rf development. • Schedule meshes well with FNAL cryomodule program. • Schedule allows for testing to establish > 2000 hour MTBF’s, which is minimum allowable in particular availability models.

WBS 3.8.5 Ribbon-Beam Klystron Research: Improving Efficiency in High-Power Klystrons Chiping Chen Plasma Science and Fusion Center Massachusetts Institute of Technology DOE ILC Review April 5, 2006 33 DOE ILC Review Chiping Chen, Intense Beam Theoretical Research Group
Ribbon-Beam Klystron • Klystron is a high capital cost, high operating cost item for ILC. • Ribbon-beam klystron (RBK) is a leading ACD choice, because it is better than the multi-beam klystron (MBK) BCD choice. • Higher efficiency (75% vs. 65%) • Single beam vs. 6 beams • Energy-free permanent magnet vs. energy-consuming pulsed magnet • RBK provides potentially the following savings: • Klystron hardware: 66% (or $60M) saving. • RF system electricity: 20% (or $20M/year) saving. 34 DOE ILC Review Chiping Chen, Intense Beam Theoretical Research Group
