The SPL study at CERN R&D study for a 5 GeV and multi MW high power beam, the HP-SPL Major interest for non-LHC physics: ISOLDEII/EURISOL/Fixed Target/Neutrino Factory Length: ~540 m Ejection to Eurisol High  cryomodules 12 x 8  =1 cavities Medium  cryomodule High  cryomodules Ejection 20 x 3  =0.65 cavities 5 x 8  =1 cavities 6 x 8  =1 cavities TT6 to ISOLDE Debunchers To fixed target/μ factory High  cryomodules From Linac4 0 m0.16 GeV110 m0.79 GeV 186 m1.4 GeV~300 m2.5 GeV HP-SPL beam characteristics ~500 m5 GeV

The SPL study: new orientation New objective of the SPL study: Up to 2013: Focus on R&D for key technologies for the high intensity proton source (HP SPL) In particular: Development, manufacture and test of high-gradient β =1, 5 cellules,704 MHz cavities Development, manufacture and test of RF couplers Testing of a string of 4 β =1 cavities in machine-type configuration: – Housed in helium vessels – Equipped with tuners – Powered by machine-type RF coupler  Need for a short cryomodule for testing purposes

Short cryo-module: Goal & Motivation Goal: Design and construct a ½-lenght cryo-module for 4 β =1 cavities Motivation: Test-bench for RF testing on a multi-cavity assembly driven by a single or multiple RF source(s) Enable RF testing of cavities in horizontal position, housed in their helium tanks, tuned, and powered by machine-type RF couplers Validate by testing critical components like RF couplers, tuners, HOM couplers in their real operating environment Cryomodule-related goals: Learning of the critical assembly phases: – preparation of a long string of cavities in clean room – alignment/assembly in the cryostat; Proof-of-concept of the innovative supporting of cavities via the RF couplers Explore cryogenic operation issues

CRYOGENICS AND VACUUM SECTORISATION Outcome of workshop on cryogenic and vacuum sectorisations of the SPL (November 9-10, 2009)

Continuous cryostat "Compact" version (gain on interconnections):  5 Gev version (HP): SPL length = 485 m (550 m max available space) "Warm quadrupole" version (with separate cryoline):  5 Gev version (HP): SPL length = 535 m (550 m max available space) Longitudinal mechanical layouts «Continuous» vs. «fully segmented» cryostat SPL layouts

Main issues Machine availability: – “work-horse” in the injection chain Reliability of built-in components and operational risks – Typical faults expected on: cavities, couplers, tuners... – Operation with degraded performance (cavities, optics, leaks...) Maintainability: – Warm-up/cool-down. Time and reliability. Need for partial or complete warm-up of strings to replace built-in components or even one cryo-module – Accessability of components for regular maintenance or repair Design complexity of compared solutions Operational complexity (e.g.cryogenics with 1.7% slope) Installation and commissioning Safety. Coping with incidents (MCI): Loss of beam and/or insulation vacuum (helium and air leaks): Cost differences between options

“continuous” cryostat String of cryo-modules between TSM Technical Service Module (TSM) Cold-Warm Transition (CWT) “Long” and “continuous” string of cavities in common cryostat Cold beam tube “straight” cryogenic lines in main cryostat common insulation vacuum (between vacuum barriers, if any present) Insulation vacuum barrier Warm beam vacuum gate valve

“segmented” cryostat String of (or single) cryo-modules Technical Service Module (TSM) Cold-Warm Transition (CWT) Cryostat is “segmented”: strings of (or single) cryo-modules, 2 CWT each Warm beam zones (where warm quads can be) Cryogenic Distributio Line (CDL) needed Individual insulation vacuum on every string of cryo-module (Vacuum Barriers, w.r.t. CDL) Cryogenic Distribution Line (CDL) Insulation vacuum barrier Warm beam vacuum gate valve

Drivers: – Availability: Reliability/Maintainability. Components with technical risk: – RF Coupler, single window. No in-situ repair possible – Cavity/tuner, reduced performance. No in-situ repair possible – Beam/cavity vacuum leaks. No in-situ repair possible  calls for quick replacement of complete cryo-module (spares needed) – Safety: coping with incidents: accidental loss of beam/cavity vacuum: Cold valves not available (XFEL is considering their development)  Adopt warm, interlocked valves (not necessarily very fast, XFEL experience) “Segmented” layout with CDL has clear advantages in these respects Additional advantages: – Magnets can be warm: classical “off-the shelf”, easy alignment/maintainability/upgrade – and cryo-module internal positioning requirements can ne relaxed (by a factor of 3) Drawbacks: – Less compact layout (~+10% extra lenght) – More equipment (CDL, CWT, instrumentation...): Capital cost More complexity = less reliability? – Higher static heat loads (but dynamic loads dominate!) Conclusions on sectorisation

Continuous cryostat "Compact" version (gain on interconnections):  5 Gev version (HP): SPL length = 485 m Segmented layout (warm quads, with separate cryoline):  5 Gev version (HP): SPL length = 535 m Cryogenic and vacuum sectoriz.of the SPL Preferred for SPL

β =0.65 cryo-module

β =1 cryo-module

Coupler position: top or bottom...? ProsContras Easier mounting of waveguides Interferes with bi-phase tube  move sideways Easier access (needed?)Waveguides/coupler more exposed to personnel/handling (damage, breaking window?)... ProsContras Centered bi-phase tube  symmetry Space needs for waveguides under cryostat Waveguides/coupler protected If coupler not a support (bellows)  support on top, i.e. centered tube not possible... No strong decision-making argument...

HOM coupler Provisions made to house an HOM coupler (resonator type) Port foreseen opposite to RF coupler port Superconducting, cooled at 2K The HOM coupler needs to be on top...so the RF coupler is at the bottom e.g. LHC HOM coupler HOM port RF coupler port

Comparing supporting solutions A) Coupler supporting scheme B) “standard” supporting scheme ProsContras Design simplicity: cost effectiveness Vacuum vessel: - Stiffness (thickness, stiffeners) - Dim. stability - Precision machining - Cost Single cavity adjustment at assy Positioning stability (thermal, weld relieving...) Inter-cavity guiding ProsContras Better mechanical isolation of cavities from external perturbations: dim. changes (thermal, weld relieving), vibrations... Design complexity and cost Vacuum vessel simplicity: -Reduced machining precision - reduced thickness Central support needed (?) Complex cavity adjustment at assy A) Chosen as baseline (“simple is nice”)

Need inter-cavity support structure? l - If sag small enough - If strenght OK - isostatic - couple cavities - hyperstatic No Yes Equivalent sketch Layout inter-cavity guides

P.Coelho Moreira de Azevedo

Vertical displacement in m (body deformation amplified 20 times): The cavities are not part of the model. The loads are the distributed weight of the represented components, tuners and cavities. WW tuner (x4) W cav (x4) The link between the cavities is established as shown: Deflections still excessively high!  goal is 0.1mm (cavity self-weight straigtness),....still work to do! P.Coelho Moreira de Azevedo

Assembly possibilities... Single-window RF coupler  needs assembly to cavities in clean room Defines minimum diameter of “pipeline” type vessel: – Lenght of double-walled tube – Integration of thermal shield Either... Or... Simple in the cross section... But... Non trivial design of end-caps Leak-tightness: seal? welded? More in CNRS’s talk (Th.Renaglia)

Master Schedule Preliminary Design Review Detailed Design Review Start of assembly at CERN

Summary SPL cryomodule studies are now concentrated on a 4 β=1 cavity short cryomodule aimed at testing the cavities in machine-like configuration The short cryomodule is designed as a shortened machine unit The short cryomodule will also allow exploring important design issues for machine cryomodules: – Innovative supporting system – Assembly principles – Cryogenic operating schemes – … Position of the coupler at the bottom is now settled The cryogenic scheme is being elaborated As a consequence piping sizes and pressures are being defined A technical specification for the cryomodule is in preparation and possibly ready by September next A preliminary design review will take place by the end of 2010

“standard” supporting Max. sag minimized at a/L=0.20. To limit self-weight sag below 0.2 mm, requires an inertia beam equivalent to a 10-mm thick ~700-mm diam. tube (almost vac.vessel size)  A 3rd central support is mandatory
