16- 17th April 2014WP12 First Annual Review Meeting, CEA Saclay

WP12Innovative RF Technologies

• This JRA focuses on the development of a range of technical solutions that has the potential to achieve significant performance increases in gradient, efficiency and beam quality of RF-based accelerator systems.

• Several novel techniques in the field of normal and superconducting RF technology have been selected, presenting the highest impact potential and with the additional benefit of profiting from exchanges and communication between these two distinct communities.

• Main R&D areas encompass: – SRF Thin Films – C Antoine (CEA Saclay); – High Gradient NC Cavities – W Wuensch (CERN)– SRF HOM Beam Diagnostics – R Jones (Manchester University)– RF Photocathodes – R Nietubyc (NCBJ)

Reducing the footprint, machine energy consumption and overall cost of linear accelerators are of

primary importance for all accelerators being developed today.

High Risk High Win!

RF Photocathodes

WP12 Pushing the Envelope

• Beam Generation:– New photocathodes providing

demonstration of highest beam intensities and smallest beam emittances.

• Acceleration:– Demonstration of the highest level of

acceleration performance.

• Beam Diagnostics/Control:– Demonstration of high performance and

low cost beam position diagnostic.

Integrated and balanced programme encompassing high performance

capabilities across both SC and NC technologies.

Fundamental Objectives

12.2 Thin FilmsExploitation of new superconducting materials, such as Nb3Sn and the development of new nano and multi-layer thin films, each anticipated to break new ground in the performance of SC accelerator cavities, with the potential of achieving gradients well beyond present Nb technology.

12.3 High Gradient NC CavitiesDevelopment of an efficient NC structure capable of high gradient operation (Eacc > 100 MV/m) but free from dangerous wakefield contributions.

12.4 SRF HOM Beam DiagnosticsDevelopment of electronics for utilising Higher Order Mode (HOM) signals from accelerating cavities for precision beam position diagnostics in high-energy electron linear accelerators, with the goal of reducing accelerator cost and length.

12.5 RF PhotocathodesDevelopment of next generation advanced RF photocathodes, exploring revolutionary production techniques as lead deposition, diamond amplifier cathode and metallic photocathodes, enhancing the ability to reach fs response time, for more effective electron beam generation, capture and transport with high brightness and low intrinsic emittance.

Task 12.1 Management & Coordination

• The WP12 Task 12.1 management team:– Nicoleta Baboi (DESY)– Juliette Plouin (CEA) – Peter McIntosh (STFC)

• WP12 Steering Committee comprises above plus the 4 Task Leaders.

• Annual WP12 review meetings:– Alternating venues; CEA, DESY, STFC & CERN.– Each including a Task Leader SC meeting. – Approximately 1 month before each EUCARD-2 Annual Review.
