Failure Analysis of the Beam Vacuum in the Superconducting Cavities of the TESLA Main Linear Accelerator
نویسنده
چکیده
For the long term successful operation of the superconducting TESLA accelerator it is essential to avoid any accidental contamination of the accelerating cavities. We discuss several failure scenarios of the beam vacuum system that could potentially result in such contaminations. The risk of individual failure situations is evaluated as well as preventive measures to avoid them.

The Vacuum System for the Superconducting Linac of the TESLA Test Facility
Among the different approaches towards a next generation 500 GeV e+elinear collider the TESLA design uses superconducting accelerating structures operating at 1.3 GHz with a gradient of 25 MV/m. Presently the TESLA Test Facility, which includes a prototype linear accelerator with superconducting cavities, is build up at DESY/Hamburg to serve as an R&D tool. First electrons have been accelerated...
متن کاملBeam-based Alignment of the Tesla Main Linac
The main obstacle to emittance preservation in the main linac of a linear collider is the alignment of the quadrupoles and accelerating cavities with respect to the beam. The misalignment tolerances in the case of the TESLA superconducting main linac are reviewed. Simulations of possible beam-based alignment algorithms to meet these tolerances are presented. Presented at 2002 European Particle ...

In the present design of the TESLA Linear Collider with integrated X-ray Laser Facility it is necessary that 1 ms long bunch trains with about 10000 bunches are generated and distributed to several free electron laser (FEL) beam lines. The different scientific applications of the X-ray FELs need specific filling patterns of the bunches in the bunch train. It is shown that a fast switch-yard bas...
متن کاملEmittance-imposed Alignment and Frequency Tolerances for the Tesla Linear Collider
One option in building a future 500 GeV c.m. linear collider is to use superconducting 1.3 GHz 9-cell cavities. However, wakefields excited by the bunch train in the TESLA (TeV-Energy Super Conducting Linear Accelerator) collider can resonantly drive the beam into unstable operation such that a BBU (Beam Break Up) mode results or at the very least significant emittance dilution occurs. The larg...
متن کاملDesign of a Multi-Cell Superconducting Cavity for the Cornell ERL Main Linac
The Cornell ERL is a proposed x-ray source. Part of the design of this ERL is the design of the main linear accelerator (linac) by the Superconducting Radio Frequency group at Cornell. One of the main components of this linac is a network of 7-cell superconducting cavities. Each cavity is a resonator that accelerates beams with the electric field of the so-called fundamental electromagnetic mod...
