Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Euclid Techlabs propose to build and test prototypes of a new RF power coupler. The prototype solves reliability problems associated with present power couplers, which may lead to increased up-time of national laboratory accelerators for scientific users, as well as encourage development of industrial, medical, and security accelerator applications. The goal of the proposed project is to build and test a prototype of a proprietary coupler developed by Fermilab. The prototype will permit evaluation of reliability and low cryogenic heat leak in subsequent testing under a follow-on to this pilot program. The prototype design will be fabricated at Euclid Techlabs and tested at Fermilab using existing 1.3 GHz RF infrastructure.
