Abstract
Purpose
In order to increase CSNS beam power from 100 to 500 kW, the linac injection energy needs to be increased from 80 to 300 MeV. The combined layout of superconducting spoke cavities and elliptical cavities will be adopted to accelerate H− beam to 300 MeV. In this paper, a compact single spoke cavity with Φ50-mm beam aperture was proposed, with the RF performance of the spoke cavity optimized to Ep/Eacc < 5, Bp/Eacc < 9, as well as the good multipacting behavior.
Methods
CST Microwave Studio was used to optimize the RF performance (Epeak/Eacc, Bpeak/Eacc, R/Q) with cavity geometry parameters. After electromagnetic design was finished, multipacting behavior was studied with CST Particle Studio module, and cavity shape modification was made to get a reasonable <SEY> value.
Results
The simulation got optimum results of Epeak/Eacc = 4.97 and Bpeak/Eacc = 8.42 mT/(MV/m), and the <SEY> max is 1.52 at Eacc = 7.74 MV/m.
Conclusion
A 648 MHz βg = 0.4 single spoke cavity with beam aperture Φ50 mm was proposed in the paper. This compact cavity may be a very promising option for CSNS linac upgrading. In addition to the optimization of the RF parameters, the multipacting behavior of the cavity is also studied, and cavity shape is optimized to reduce <SEY> value.
