  1. A New MIRF System David Wildman Alex Chen, Zubao Qian, Vincent Wu March 16 , 2005

  2. Outline • Specifications • Beam Loading and Stability • Cavity Design • Mafia Simulations • Costs • Conclusions wildman - Proton Driver Director's Review

  3. Specifications • Intensity of 1.5E14 per MI cycle • Maximum ramp rate of 305 GeV/s • Cavity peak voltage of 300 kV • 18 RF stations - same as current system • Frequency sweep: 52.814 MHz to 53.104 MHz wildman - Proton Driver Director's Review

  4. Beam Loading • Both transient and steady-state beam loading are proportional to the cavity shunt impedance, Rs, divided by the cavity Q. • Rs/Q only depends on the cavity geometry • For a coaxial quarter wave resonator, Rs/Q can be adjusted by changing the characteristic impedance of the line • The new RF cavity will have 4x smaller Rs/Q • Rs/Q reduced from 104 to 25. • This will enable us to achieve 4x the present intensity with the same beam loading effects we see today. wildman - Proton Driver Director's Review

  5. Beam Stability • For a detuned cavity without feedback, the RF system reaches the Robinson instability limit when the power dissipated in the cavity equals the power being delivered to the beam. • For our case, the maximum power delivered to the beam will be 407 kW/cavity. • The maximum power dissipation in the cavity is chosen to be ~ 450 kW. • Guaranteeing beam stability without any feedback is the most conservative design. wildman - Proton Driver Director's Review

  6. System Specifications • Rs/Q = 25, low Z transmission line • Rs/Q = 100 kΩ, Q = 4000 from copper coated stainless construction. • Perpendicularly biased garnet tuners • Present RF system will be driver for new system. • Power tetrode: CPI Eimac 8973 (1MW) or Thales TH525 (1.5 MW) wildman - Proton Driver Director's Review
