Accelerating structures in linear and circular accelerators • Acceleration cavity (cavity) • Analogy between oscillating circuit and cavity • Cylindrical cavity • Shunt impedance and quality factor
Acceleration in the cylindrical cavityT=0 (acceleratingphase) (100 MHz) 2a z E(z) g E0 z
Linear and circular accelerators Linear accelerator: Acceleration by traveling once through many RF Circular accelerator: Acceleration by travelling many times through few RF cavities
Analogy between cavity and oscillating circuit C L R L A simple RF accelerator would work with a capacitor (with an opening for the beam) and a coil in parallel to the capacitor. The energy oscillates between electric and magnetic field. R
Analogy between cavity and oscillating circuit Oscillating circuit with capacitor, coil and resistance. C L R
For a frequency of 100 MHz, a typical value for an accelerator, the inductance of the coil and the capacity of the condenser must be chosen very small. Example:
From oscillating circuit to the cavity C C L L The fields in the cavity oscillate in TM010 mode (no longitudinal magnetic field). There are an infinite number of oscilllation modes, but only a few are used for cavities (calculation from Maxwells equations, application for waveguides, for example K.Wille)
Parameter of a cylindrical cavity („pill-box“) • A cylindrical cavity with the • length of g, the aperture • 2*a and the field of E(t) 2a z g
Acceleration in a cylindrical cavity 2a z g E(z) E0 z
Cavity with rotational symmetry • The cavity parameter depend on the • geometry and the material: • Geometry => Frequency • Material => Quality factor r0 z gc • Comes from Besselfunction (Solution of wave equation)
