5/11/2005Ruben Carcagno - AAC Review2 Background Fast tuners (e.g., piezo tuners) are needed to maintain high RF power efficiency in high gradient (e.g., 35 MV/m) SCRF cavities –Key component for cost reduction of ILC and Proton Driver FNAL piezo tuner studies were done for the 3.9 GHz CKM deflecting cavity at A0. Experience and results are transferable to 1.3 GHz cavities for the ILC and Proton Driver. R&D in these areas will continue at HPTF.

5/11/2005Ruben Carcagno - AAC Review3 Detuning and RF Power Δf = cavity detuning (Hz) f 1/2 = cavity bandwidth ~ 200 Hz for 1.3 GHz TESLA cavities ~ 65 Hz for 3.9 GHz CKM cavities RF power increase for field control due to detuning: Detuning highly sensitive to small changes in cavity shape Example: 13-cell, 3.9 GHz CKM cavity (from FEA)

5/11/2005Ruben Carcagno - AAC Review4 Detuning Sources Fast, small changes in cavity shape are caused by two primary sources: Lorentz Forces (electromagnetic):  Important for pulsed operation, high gradients (e.g., 35 MV/m)  Highly repetitive  Main detuning concern for ILC and Proton Driver  Piezo compensation demonstrated at the Tesla Test Facility  Microphonics (vibration sources)  Important for cw operation, narrow bandwidth  Random  Microphonics compensation less advanced than Lorentz  FNAL work at A0 contributed to advances in the state of the art of microphonics detuning compensation

Characterization important Actuator of choice in other labs for detuning compensation studies MAGNETOSTRICTIVE ACTUATORS Being introduced as an alternative to piezoelectric actuators for SCRF fast tuning Newer technology for this application, single source Some labs are investigating this option Fast tuners have been proposed for active detuning control by applying a counteracting force to the cavity

5/11/2005Ruben Carcagno - AAC Review7 Manual Detuning Compensation Cavity system support was not optimized to minimize microphonics Microphonics spectrum shows a strong detuning frequency at ~ 30 Hz Detuning compensation at 1.8 K was attempted by manually adjusting the piezo frequency, amplitude, and phase Detuning was reduced by more than a factor of three and maintained for several seconds The result was reproducible, showing the feasibility of using a piezo actuator to compensate microphonics detuning

5/11/2005Ruben Carcagno - AAC Review11 Fast Cavity Thermometry New system based on smaller CERNOX sensors was developed at FNAL Fast (10 kHz) temperature acquisition rate to study quench evolution Traditional Carbon Glass RTDs used in SCRF thermometry (e.g., Cornell system) too large for small 3.9 GHz CKM cavity geometry

5/11/2005Ruben Carcagno - AAC Review12 Thermometry Results Quench location clearly identified Hot spot shifts 90 degrees with cw polarization mode Increasing RF power resulted in quench at hot spot location Lambda point

5/11/2005Ruben Carcagno - AAC Review13 Conclusions FNAL has already begun developing expertise in areas of piezo tuning and cavity thermometry R&D in these areas has resulted in advances in microphonics detuning compensation and the ability to pinpoint quench location in small cavities The focus of this work is now shifting towards ILC and Proton Driver support Piezo tuning development work will continue with the HPTF Capture Cavity 2 test Fast tuning (e.g., piezo) capability is critical for cost reduction efforts in high gradient SCRF machines (high RF power efficiency)
