Tuning of Mode Cavities Using Equivalent Circuits Mike Jenkins Lancaster University and Cockcroft Institute
Outline • mode cavities • Equivalent circuits • 5 cell equivalent circuit model
Mode Cavities • At Cockcroft Institute we are currently looking into mode cavities for security applications • mode structures are of interest for this application due to high field stability • They are hard to tune as every other cell has no field in it
Equivalent Circuits Electrical properties of RF cavities can be modelled by an RLC circuit. L C R
Equivalent Circuits For multi cell structures: • Model each cell as individual RLC circuits • Cell to cell coupling represented by inductor or capacitor • Effects of beam pipes on end cells described by addition of capacitor
Bi Periodic Equivalent Circuit Apply Kirchhoff’s voltage summation rule to each current loop giving an equation for each cell
Effect of Beam Pipe • Currently γ describes the effect of the beam pipe. • We want to have a flatπ/2 mode • This allows us to determine that
Eigenvalue Problem Where
Modelling Out of Tune Cavities • We now have an equation describing the field in each cell which depends only on Ω and k • Using these equations we can model an out of tune cavity using perturbation theory to represent errors in the cell capacitances
Testing the Equivalent Circuit Model • To test the equivalent circuit model a 5 cell bi periodic structure was simulated in CST • For an unperturbed structure it is field flat • Added a known error into the model
Testing the Equivalent Circuit Model Perturbed Case First Correction Tuned
Extending the Model • The current equivalent circuit model is working well for a structure • The security linac we are working on is a not structure, each accelerating cell is different • Need a more general model possibly with different coupling
Summary • We are developing compact mode linacs for security applications • A new tuning method for these structures is being developed using equivalent circuit and perturbation techniques • Initial testing of the tuning method on simplified structure shows promising results
