  1. Fine-Tuning theRFQ End Region

  2. “…The Devil is in the Detail” • RFQ bulk design very close to completion • But before drafting need to check: • Repeatability & agreement of codes/meshes • Frequency of full 4m RFQ • If asymmetry is caused if pumps only on top • Tunability of cavity using slug tuners (Saad) • Field flatness • If small machining details have an effect

  3. ANSYS Mesh Quality • In ANSYS, results converge for vane-tip mesh < 2mm and quadrant mesh < 15mm. • Full 4m RFQ solution needs careful allocation of mesh due to size of problem! • Now Compare with other codes…

  4. Superfish Maximum Resolution: 324.137 MHz ANSYS Maximum Resolution: 324.131 MHz CST Maximum Resolution: 324.129 MHz

  5. Vacuum Port Placement Vacuum ports top & bottom Vacuum ports top only Open squares indicate theoretical modes, missing due to symmetry, but confirmed real when solving one entire 4m long quadrant Removing the bottom vacuum port increases frequencies by 25 kHz

  6. Electric Field in Vane Gap for Different Longitudinal Modes TE210: 324.5MHz

  7. Electric Field in Vane Gap for Different Longitudinal Modes TE211: 327.7MHz

  8. Electric Field in Vane Gap for Different Longitudinal Modes TE212: 334.6MHz

  9. Electric Field in Vane Gap for Different Longitudinal Modes TE213: 345.3MHz

  10. Electric Field in Vane Gap for Different Longitudinal Modes TE214: 359.9MHz

  11. Electric Field in Vane Gap for Different Longitudinal Modes TE215: 378.0MHz

  12. Electric Field in Vane Gap for Different Longitudinal Modes TE216: 397.2MHz

  13. Absolute Electric Field of First Four Longitudinal Modes 50% Field drop at ends is unacceptable and cannot be tuned out!

  14. Example of a frequency error at a single point x0 Suppose the local error is a delta function at some point x0. Local error magnitude is defined as G. This is the new resonant frequency of the cavity in terms of local frequency error G This relates the cavity frequency change to G. is the new wavefunction [Ref: Thomas Wangler, Michigan State University Linac Seminar Series – “RFQ Basics”]

  15. Fractional vane-voltage error Each of the higher modes m contributes a term proportional to the voltage value of each mode at the point of the perturbing error, divided by the mode index m squared so nearest modes in frequency contribute most. An analytic solution exists for this summation. It is: [Ref: Thomas Wangler, Michigan State University Linac Seminar Series – “RFQ Basics”]

  16. Dependence of the fractional voltage error at each point x on the parameters. The fractional voltage error at each point increases with the fractional cavity frequency error and as the square of the vane length to wavelength ratio. This next graph shows that if the local error at some point x0 causes the local resonant frequency to increase, the local voltage decreases, and vice versa. [Ref: Thomas Wangler, Michigan State University Linac Seminar Series – “RFQ Basics”]

  17. m=0 and 1 m=0 m=1 to 20 Perturbed voltage distribution for problem with a d-function error at the vane end, where x0/lV = 0, lV/l = 2 and dw0/w0 = 0.01. V (x) 0 [Ref: Thomas Wangler, Michigan State University Linac Seminar Series – “RFQ Basics”]

  18. Matcher Off Matcher On Having matcher on/off does indeed drastically affect field flatness due to its local frequency error

  19. Matcher Off/On This region removed lowers inductance Addition of matcher lowers capacitance No radial matcher on cold model: vane had square ends. Quadrupole frequency of this end region = 291.078 MHz Initial design of radial matcher was a circle, tangent to vane at two points. Quadrupole frequency of this end region = 375.125 MHz • Adding the matcher hugely affects the capacitance (inductance to a lesser extent) • Want 324MHz (almost midway between these two) which suggests: • Increase capacitance as much as possible by reducing material removed for matcher • Increase inductance by reducing vacuum volume removed to ensure 7mm end gap

  20. Modified Radial Matcher Design 7mm R 5 R 21.8 334.708 MHz E-field H-field H-field To fine-tune toward 324 MHz, modify cutback radius

  21. Fine-tune Inductance by Varying Cut-back radius Original cutback radius = 15mm

  22. Rounding Off Corners To reduce sparking and hot-spots, and to ease machining, the corners will be radiused High magnetic field region, so will affect inductance & frequency

  23. Fine-tune Inductance by Varying Cut-back radius

  24. Superfish Maximum Resolution: 324.137 MHz 44.0mm ANSYS Maximum Resolution: 324.131 MHz CST Maximum Resolution: 324.129 MHz 44.0mm Quadrant radius is uncomfortably close to 324 MHz ∴ Relax it slightly by increasing to 44.1mm

  25. Varying Quadrant Radius in CST

  26. Fine-tune Inductance by Varying Cut-back radius As a bonus, these changes also improve the Q by ~20%

  27. Final Design

  28. CST and ANSYS results for final geometry, 4m RFQ with flush tuners. Taking into account meshing accuracy for these large models (see slides 3 & 4), both agree with the frequency being (323.5 ± 0.5) MHz

  29. No Matcher Optimised Matcher Original Matcher New matcher design achieves considerably flatter field and ensures (323.5 ± 0.5) MHz along the entire RFQ
