High Dynamic Voltage Range Studies of Piezoelectric Multilayer Actuators at Low Temperatures

Conference ·
Piezo actuators are used for resonance control in superconducting linacs. In high accelerating gradients linacs, such as those operated in a pulsed mode, the piezos require a large operating voltage. This is due to the Lorentz forced detuning which causes a large frequency shift and is compensated with an active piezo-tuning system. In this high dynamic voltage range the piezo is expected to warm up drastically due to it being in an insulated vacuum. This study characterizes the dielectric properties (capacitance, dielectric losses), the piezo stroke (from geophone), and thermal properties such as heating. Results obtained in the temperature range of 20K to 300K will be presented and discussed.
