DESIGN AND MEASUREMENT OF THE 1.4 GHZ CAVITY FOR LEReC LINAC

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1827169
The Low Energy RHIC electron Cooler (LEReC) is the first electron cooler based on rf acceleration of electron bunches. To further improve RHIC luminosity for heavy ion beam energies below 10 GeV/nucleon, a normal conducting RF cavity at 1.4 GHz was designed and fabricated for the LINAC that will provide longer electron bunches for the LEReC. It is a single cell cavity with effective cavity length shorter than half of the 1.4 GHz wavelength. This cavity was fabricated and tested on site at BNL to verify RF properties, i.e. the resonance frequency, fundamental power coupler (FPC) coupling strength, tuner system performance, and high-power tests. In this paper, we report the RF test results for this cavity.
