RF Cavity and Coupling Coil Module Design Update Page 5Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Cavity End View with Tuners and Struts Six tuners per cavity provide individual frequency adjustment Tuning automatically achieved through a feedback loop Six struts per cavity provide a kinematic mounting system Struts fix cavity position without over- constraint

6. RF Cavity and Coupling Coil Module Design Update Page 6Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Cavity Tuner Design Features Tuners are spaced evenly every 60 º around cavity Layout is offset by 15 º from vertical to avoid conflict with cavity ports Tuners touch cavity and apply loads only at the stiffener rings Tuners operate in “push” mode only (i.e. squeezing)

7. RF Cavity and Coupling Coil Module Design Update Page 7Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Four Cavity Layout in Vacuum Vessel Clocking of tuner position between adjacent cavities avoids interference Actuators offset from cavity center plane due to width of coupling coil Soft connection only (bellows) between tuner/actuators and vacuum vessel shell

9. RF Cavity and Coupling Coil Module Design Update Page 9Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Tuner component Details Fixed arm Pivoting arm Actuator & bellows assembly Forces are transmitted to the stiffener ring by means of “push/pull” loads applied to the tuner lever arms by the actuator assembly

10. RF Cavity and Coupling Coil Module Design Update Page 10Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Cavity Tuning Parameters The following parameters are based on a finite element analysis of the cavity shell. Tuning range is limited by material yield stress. Overall cavity stiffness: 6120 N/mm Tuning sensitivity: +115 kHz/mm Tuning range: 0 to -460 kHz (0 to -4 mm) Number of tuners: 6 Maximum ring load/tuner: 4.1 kN Max actuator press.

11. RF Cavity and Coupling Coil Module Design Update Page 11Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Cavity Suspension System Six strut system provides kinematic cavity support Orthogonal layout of struts allows accurate cavity alignment and positioning Kinematic mounts prevent high cavity stresses caused by thermal distortion and over- constraint

13. RF Cavity and Coupling Coil Module Design Update Page 13Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Strut End Connection Details One end of the struts is attached to a fixed lug welded to the ID of the vacuum vessel The cavity end of the vertical and one of the horizontal struts are attached directly to the stiffener ring The cavity end of the axial and one of the horizontal struts are attached to the fixed leg of a tuner

14. RF Cavity and Coupling Coil Module Design Update Page 14Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Four Cavity Layout in Vacuum Vessel Each cavity contains a dedicated set of suspension struts No contact between pairs of close packed cavities Struts designed to axially fix outside end of cavity pairs Tuning deflections increase cavity gap
