Title: High current SRF cavity design for SPL and eRHIC

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1020923

A high current five-cell Nb superconducting cavity, called BNL3 cavity, was optimized and designed for the SPL and eRHIC. For the fundamental mode, the optimization process aimed at maximizing the R/Q of the fundamental mode and the geometry factor G under an acceptable RF field ratio level of B{sub peak}/E{sub acc} and E{sub peak}/E{sub acc}. For higher order modes, the optimization is to lower (R/Q)Q{sub ext} for dipole and quadrupole modes to suppress the beam-break-up (BBU). To extract the HOM power out of the cavity, the BNL3 cavity employs a larger beam pipe, allowing the propagation of HOMs, but not the fundamental mode. Six HOM couplers (three at each end) are used to extract large HOM power. To avoid the cross-talk between cavities, tapers are employed between the cavities. This paper presents the design of the BNL3 cavity, end groups and BBU simulation results.
