Title: Operation Regime Analysis of Conduction Cooled Cavities through Multi-Physics Simulation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1452823

Euclid Techlabs in collaboration with Fermilab IARC (Batavia, IL) is developing industrial superconducting 10MeV electron linac [1, 2]. Cryocoolers are to be used for cooling instead of liquid helium bath to simplify the linac infrastructure [3]. The cavity linked to commercially available cryo-cooler cold head [4, 5] through highly conductive aluminium (AL) strips. However, this solution raises a problem of contact thermal resistance. This paper shows some results of Comsol multyphysics simulations of the cavity cooling by AL strips. Some insight was obtained on the acceptable range of contact resistance. Operation regimes were obtained at different accelerating gradients and cavity temperatures. The results of simula-tion are presented and discussed.
