High power coupler development for EIC

The synchrotron radiation loss in EIC Electron Storage Ring is as high as up to 10 MW. This energy loss will be compensated by 17 2K 591 MHz single-cell SRF cavities with a combined total of 34 high power fundamental power couplers. Each power coupler will operate 92% of revolution time CW and ~8% of revolution time with 400 kW forward power due to the beam abort gap. To satisfy the EIC needs, we developed two 500 kW standing-wave FPC designs at BNL based on either a BeO and an Al 2 O 3 RF window. This paper will briefly summarize test results of the BeO window FPC , and describe the design development of the Al 2 O 3 window based FPC.

DESIGN AND MEASUREMENT OF THE 1.4 GHZ CAVITY FOR LEReC LINAC

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.
