Commissioning of the Superconducting Rf Cavities for the Cesr Luminosity Upgrade
نویسندگان
چکیده
The new superconducting RF system consisting of four single-cell cavity modules is an important part of the CESR Luminosity Upgrade. We describe the commissioning of the first three accelerating modules. This includes in situ testing and conditioning, pulsed power and beam processing of RF windows, commissioning of various cryogenic feedback loops, measuring cavity spacing and phasing with beam, and high-current operation.

Operating Experience with Superconducting Rf at Cesr and Overview of Other Srf Related Activities at Cornell University
In the two years past since 8 RFSC Workshop the major efforts of the SRF group at Cornell University were concentrated on the completion and commissioning of the superconducting RF system for the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) e+e− collider [1, 2]. Four singlecell niobium higher-order mode (HOM) damped cavities replaced four 5-cell normal conducting RF cavities. The RF system upgrade bega...
متن کاملSuperconducting Rf System Upgrade for Short Bunch Operation of Cesr*
The CESR luminosity upgrade plan calls for shortening bunch length to 1 cm. Such bunch length can be achieved by installing two more superconducting cavities to increase total RF voltage. The RF system upgrade necessary to accommodate this change is discussed.

As part of the Phase III luminosity upgrade, the Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring (CESR) RF system has been upgraded from normal conducting (NRF) to superconducting (SRF) cavaties. The new superconducting cavities change the overall impedance of CESR and thus change the longitudinal bunch distribution. Measurements of the single bunch longitudinal distribution have been made using a strea...
متن کاملSuperconducting Rf System for the Cesr Luminosity Upgrade: Design, Status, and Plans*
The CESR Luminosity Upgrade Plan consists of several consecutive steps, or phases [1]. At the present time, this program is in Phase II. The next step, Phase III, would yield a luminosity of 1x1033cm-2sec-1 with 45 bunches in each beam for a total current of 1 A. This plan utilizes four superconducting single-cell cavities with an accelerating gradient of 6 MV/m, which corresponds to a peak acc...
متن کاملPerformance of the Cesr Superconducting Rf System and Future Plans*
As we have reported at the last SRF Workshop two years ago, staged transition of the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) RF System from normal conducting to superconducting was completed in September 1999 with installation of the fourth superconducting B-cell cavity [1]. Since that time the last cavity has been commissioned and RF system has operated stably providing CESR beams with up to 1.13...
