Introduction
Ionization cooling principle
– Strong magnetic field to confine muon beams – Lose energy in LH absorbers– High gradient RF cavities to compensate for lost longitudinal energy

RF Cavity for Muon Cooling
Requirements:— Intense muon beams
• Have short lifetime and large phase space• Interact weakly with matter
— Confined in focusing channels
– High gradients– 17 MV/m at 201 MHz and 34 MV/m at 805 MHz
– Normal conductingRounded closed “pillbox” cavityRounded closed “pillbox” cavity
LargeLarge and and thinthin BeBe foils (low-Z) to terminate RF fields foils (low-Z) to terminate RF fields
– High cavity shunt impedance– Low peak surface field– High accelerating efficiency with independent phase control – Less RF power

805 MHz cavity inside
• Achievable accelerating gradient is a function of external B• Be windows withstand high field without surface damage• How to interpolate the results to 201 MHz cavities?• Does this apply to 201 MHz cavities?

Curved Be Windows for 201 MHz Cavity
• Succeeded in two curved Be windows for the 805-MHz cavity
• Placed purchase order of three Be windows for 201-MHz cavity:
0.38 mm thick, 420 mm diameter
at Brush-Wellman (~100 watts per window with ∆T~ 55 degrees at nominal Study-II parameters)
• Window is formed by applying a die at elevated temperature
• Copper frame is brazed to Be window
• Be windows will be Ti-N coated
The curved Be window status:• warping (1st one)• cracking (2nd) on edge, but usable • Two good windows already• To be Ti-N coated
420 mm diameter curved Be window for the 201 MHz cavity formed

The formed Be foil is sandwiched (brazed) in two annular Cu frames
– Present a perfect conducting BC for RF. – Min. scattering and mechanically strong

RF Coupler Design and Status
Loop couplers at critical coupling
Prototype coupling loop design uses standard off-the-shelf copper co-axial components
Coupling loop has integrated cooling lines
Two SNS style RF windows mfg. by Toshiba
received (no cost to us !)
Two couplers with RF windows are complete
High power tested up to 600 kW in TW mode and 2.4 MW (peak) in SW mode
Ready to ship to MTA, FNAL
Bellows connection required on MICE cooling channel (Study-II) for thermal and dimensional reasons
