Challenges of the Cavity Modifications
Weak points of max fields in
Vacuum and Air will be more
susceptible to break down
Higher Gap Voltage
Current cooling design may not
tolerate the additional heating
in tuners
Higher Repetition Rate
To resolve the activation problem
Larger Beam Pipe

Conclusion
• Full 3D model with most of the fine details has been created
• 3D EM simulation has been carried out at different frequencies
• Identified weak points of max electric field in air and vacuum at the different frequencies
• Need more data (material, geometry, and measured performance) to get the model closer to the physical structure

What is next?• More data collection
– Material (Stack-Pole permeability vs. Bias Field N/A … So may be we measure it)
– Geometrical features (Blended Edges, Tetrode Conn, Tuner Conn, Bias Geometry)
– Measured Cavity Performance (Gap voltage vs. time, R/Q vs. freq) -- John promised to provide these data
• Improve the current model to get it closer to the physical cavity • Thermal simulation to get a temperature profile along the cavity and
specially in the tuner• Double the repetition rate to 15 Hz and repeat the thermal simulation• Change the pipe diameter to 3” and repeat the EM analysis• Increase the gap voltage to 86 KV and find the max fields in vacuum
and air
