Final design for the bERLinPro main LINAC cavity

The Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Project bERLinPro is designed to develop and demonstrateCWLINAC technology for 100 mA class ERLs. High current operation requires an effective damping of higher order modes HOMs of the 1.3 GHz main linac cavities. We have studied elliptical 7 cell cavities based on a modified Cornell ERL design combined with JLab s waveguide HOM damping approach. This paper will summarize the final optimization of the end cell tuning for minimum external Q of the HOMs, coupler kick calculations of the single TTF fundamental power coupler FPC as well as multipole expansion analysis of the given modes and a discussion on operational aspects

Results and Performance Simulations of the Main Linac Design for BERLinPro

The Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Project BERLinPro is designed to develop and demonstrate CW LINAC technology for 100 mA class ERLs. High current operation requires an effective damping of higher ordermodes HOMs of the 1.3 GHz main linac cavities. We have studied elliptical seven cell cavities damped by five waveguides at the adjacent beam tubes. Eigenmode calculations for geometrical figures of merit show that the present design should allow successful cw linac operation at the maximum beam current of 100 mA 77pC bunch charge. In this paper the progress in HOM calculations to avoid beam breakup instabilities for the favored cavity structure is presente

Update on SRF Cavity Design, Production and Testing for BERLinPro

The bERLinPro Energy Recovery Linac ERL is currently being built at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin in order to study the accelerator physics of operating a high current, 100 mA, 50 MeV low emittance ERL utilizing all SRF cavity technology. For this machine three different types of SRF cavities are being developed. For the injector section, consisting of an SRF photoinjector and a three two cell booster cavity module, fabrication is close to completion. The cavities were designed at HZB and manufactured, processed and vertically tested at Jefferson Laboratory. In this paper we will review the design and production process of the two structures and show the latest acceptance tests at HZB prior to installation into the newly designed cryomodule. For the Linac cavity the latest cavity and module design studies are being show
