WP12 Management Report & EuCARD-2 Updates

1. WP12 Management Report & EuCARD-2 Updates Peter.mcintosh@stfc.ac.uk Juliette.plouin@cea.fr Nicoleta.baboi@desy.de 16- 17th April 2014 WP12 First Annual Review Meeting, CEA Saclay

2. WP12Innovative RF Technologies Reducing the footprint, machine energy consumption and overall cost of linear accelerators are of primary importance for all accelerators being developed today. High Risk  High Win! • This JRA focuses on the development of a range of technical solutions that has the potential to achieve significant performance increases in gradient, efficiencyand beam quality of RF-based accelerator systems. • Several novel techniques in the field of normal and superconducting RF technologyhave been selected, presenting the highest impact potential and with the additional benefit of profiting from exchanges and communication between these two distinct communities. • Main R&D areas encompass: • SRF Thin Films – C Antoine (CEA Saclay); • High Gradient NC Cavities – W Wuensch (CERN) • SRF HOM Beam Diagnostics – R Jones (Manchester University) • RF Photocathodes – R Nietubyc (NCBJ)

3. WP12 Collaborative Team SRF Thin Films High Gradient NC SRF HOM Beam Diagnostic RF Photocathodes

4. WP12 Pushing the Envelope Integrated and balanced programme encompassing high performance capabilities across both SC and NC technologies. • Beam Generation: • New photocathodes providing demonstration of highest beam intensities and smallest beam emittances. • Acceleration: • Demonstration of the highest level of acceleration performance. • Beam Diagnostics/Control: • Demonstration of high performance and low cost beam position diagnostic.

5. Fundamental Objectives 12.2 Thin Films Exploitation of new superconducting materials, such as Nb3Sn and the development of new nano and multi-layer thin films, each anticipated to break new ground in the performance of SC accelerator cavities, with the potential of achieving gradients well beyond present Nbtechnology. 12.3 High Gradient NC Cavities Development of an efficient NC structure capable of high gradient operation (Eacc > 100 MV/m) but free from dangerous wakefieldcontributions. 12.4 SRF HOM Beam Diagnostics Development of electronics for utilising Higher Order Mode (HOM) signals from accelerating cavities for precision beam position diagnostics in high-energy electron linear accelerators, with the goal of reducing accelerator cost and length. 12.5 RF Photocathodes Development of next generation advanced RF photocathodes, exploring revolutionary production techniques as lead deposition, diamond amplifier cathode and metallic photocathodes, enhancing the ability to reach fs response time, for more effective electron beam generation, capture and transport with high brightness and low intrinsic emittance.

6. Task 12.1 Management & Coordination • The WP12 Task 12.1 management team: • Nicoleta Baboi (DESY) • Juliette Plouin (CEA) • Peter McIntosh (STFC) • WP12 Steering Committee comprises above plus the 4 Task Leaders. • Annual WP12 review meetings: • Alternating venues; CEA, DESY, STFC & CERN. • Each including a Task Leader SC meeting. • Approximately 1 month before each EUCARD-2 Annual Review.
