RF GUN DESIGN Input RF waveguide Operation frequency: GHz, -mode 1.6 cell gun Single feed Race track geometry “z-coupling” and “fat-lip” coupling slots Elliptical coupling irises RF Pulse Length ~ 4μs and 100 Hz repetition rate Numeric codes for simulations: HFSS, Superfish. Laser ports simpler RF power system than the case of dual feed Avoid phase shift between the two input waves in the case of dual feed dummy waveguide to diminish dipole field To minimize quadrupole field To reduce H field, i.e. RF pulsed heating RF probe Dummy waveguide Beam axis To decrease surface electric field HFSS Model 2nd European Advanced Accelerator Workshop (EAAC), September 2015, Elba, Italy

RF PULSED HEATING T = 46.8°C
RF pulsed heating, due to surface magnetic field, causes a temperature gradient ΔT on the metal. ΔT is independent of the surface thickness and the cooling system. “Safe limit” in case of copper is about 110°C. Crucial areas are the laser ports and the coupling slots! “rounded irises” are used (1.5mm and 9mm radius). The peak surface magnetic field is nearly H||= 3.3*105 input RF power = 10.5 MW Laser port assuming 4μs pulse T = 46.8°C Coupling Slot below the safety upper limit!

MAGNETIC FIELD COMPONENTS
DIPOLE AND QUADRUPOLE MAGNETIC FIELD COMPONENTS A dummy waveguide (higher cut-off frequency), symmetric to the RF input waveguide, allows to erase the field dipole component. The quadrupole component is eliminated by using a “race track” geometry. Higher order modes are considered negligible. RF input power D Cross section of the full cell. The field is calculated along circumferences with different radii r and for different values of the offset D, by which the two cell arcs are drifted apart. r Dummy waveguide 2nd European Advanced Accelerator Workshop (EAAC), September 2015, Elba, Italy

THERMAL ANALYSIS Thermal analysis of the RF Gun has been carried out by using Ansys13 (Coupling with HFSS) 53.3 °C RF Pulse length, FWHM 4 s Duty factor 4*10-4 Ppeak 10.5 MW Pavg ~4.2 kW Water flux < 3 l/min Water temperature 35 °C Ambient Lab temperature 22 °C Cooling channels Temperature distribution (°C)

STRESS ANALYSIS <50μm <30 MPa
The deformation produces a frequency shift. In order to keep the gun on resonance at full average power (100 Hz and 4s), the water temperature will need to be decreased at max by -8°C (estimation and previous experience with the Fermi II gun) <50μm <30 MPa Total deformation (m) The Equivalent (von Mises) Stress is a measure of the yield strength (in terms of pressure Pa) of the metal, above which the material starts to deform plastically, i.e. non-reversible change of the shape. Max value is <30 MPa (yield strength of soft copper is 70MPa). Equivalent Stress distribution (Pa) 2nd European Advanced Accelerator Workshop (EAAC), September 2015, Elba, Italy

RF GUN MACHINING, COLD TEST AND BRAZING
All the gun parts were machined in-house. Cold test measurements (scattering parameters, resonant frequency, other main RF parameters) carried out at SLAC by using a clamping setup. Hydrogen Brazing (followed by high temp bake-out) was performed by the brazing team at the SLAC klystron department.
