90 ° - Cavities With Improved Inner-Cell HOM Properties

1. 90°-Cavities With Improved Inner-Cell HOM Properties Shannon Hughes Advisor: Valery Shemelin

2. Introduction • Ideal cavities have geometry for working π-mode frequency • Real cavities have many minor defects… • Frequency can be different than intended • Non-propagating frequency → trapped higher-order modes • Trapped HOMs can’t get to damping couplers, so their energy can’t be removed – has negative effect on beam quality Goal: Stop trapped modes from occurring.

3. Introduction How do we avoid trapped modes? • All frequencies within each dipole-mode bandwidth propagate. • Broader bandwidths → fewer non-propagating modes, so less likelihood of trapping • Bandwidths can be broadened by modifying elliptic arc parameters (i.e. geometry) • Need to find geometry that yields widest bandwidths

4. Programs Used • SLANS/SLANS2 • creates meshes • calculates frequencies • plots electric fields • SLANS → monopole mode • SLANS2 → dipole modes • TunedCell • wrapper program for SLANS/SLANS2 • calculates figures of merit (e, h, etc) • writes half-cell geometries for each set of elliptic arc parameters • MathCAD • fits curves to data using splines • generates random numbers (for Monte Carlo technique) • plots data, and a lot more

5. Geometry • A cell is made up of two elliptic arcs (AB and ab) connected by a line l, as shown in the half-cell figure • Many figures of merit determined by elliptic arc parameters (A, B, a and b) • α = cell wall slope angle • Three types of cells – non-reentrant, 90°, and reentrant • Non-reentrant: α > 90 • Reentrant: α < 90

6. Geometry Half-Cell Mesh Single-Cell Mesh

7. Geometry Six-Cell Mesh

8. Why 90°-Cavities? Frequency vs Phase Shift for Fundamental Mode • Red → α ≤ 90° • Blue → α > 90° • ERL: - - - - - - - - • TESLA: • Greater difference between 0- and π-mode → larger bandwidth (B0 = fπ - f0) Geometries with α ≤ 90° dominate the lower part of both graphs, tending to have the broadest bandwidths for a given e. e = Epk/2Eacc

9. Why 90°-Cavities? Cell-to-Cell Coupling vs Cell Wall Slope Angle for Fundamental Mode Multiple cells per cavity cells must work well together Higher k → better coupling Geometries with α ≤ 90° tend to have the highest k values for a given e.

10. Why 90°-Cavities? hvsα for e = 1 • Best acceleration gradient comes from • minimizing peak magnetic field (Hpk) • maximizing accelerating field (Eacc) • So minimizing h = Hpk/42Eacc yields best acceleration gradient • 95% of overall decrease in h occurs from α = 105° to α = 90° Geometries with α ≤ 90° tend to have the lowest h values for a given e.

11. Why 90°-Cavities? • Geometries with α ≤ 90° tend to have the best h, k and B0 values for a given e. • Reentrant cavities (α < 90°) have some practical problems • Difficult to remove water/chemicals during cleaning • Difficult to fabricate properly • 90°-cavities do not share these problems 90°-cavities can be used for small-angle benefits without reentrant drawbacks.

12. Why 90°-Cavities? hvse • Other groups interested in 90°-cavities • Examples: LL, Ichiro, LSF, NLSF • Our minimized h vsevalues just as good or better than these others Ichiro 51: the goal gradient (MV/m) for the 9-cell low-loss “Ichiro” cavity

13. Higher-Order Modes Frequency vs Phase Shift for 7 Dipole Modes Graph shows frequencies of first seven dipole modes in initial 90°-cavity Focus on these because we limit maximum frequency to 4 GHz Some bands very broad, some very narrow Is it possible to broaden these bands? How much can these bands be broadened? e and h are limited to 5% increase α must remain at 90° → a = L - A

14. Broadening One Mode Frequency vs Phase Shift for 3rd Dipole Mode • For 3rd dipole mode, 90°-cavity bandwidth is narrow • Especially compared with TESLA and ERL! • How much can this particular bandwidth be broadened? • Several broadening methods using geometry • Changing A incrementally • Changing A, B, and bin the direction of the gradient of increasing B3 • Changing only B and b in the direction of the gradient of increasing B3

15. Changing A Incrementally • Of all the elliptic arc parameters, changing A has the biggest impact on B3 • A changed incrementally • B and b held at initial values • a held at a = L – A • Stopped when h increased by 5% • B3 increased from 12.025 MHz to 68.181 MHz B3 vsΔA

16. Changing A, B and b • Derivatives of B3 with respect to A, B and b were calculated • Used to create a 3-D gradient vector with length k in direction of increasing B3 • k increased until h increased 5% • B3 increased from 12.025 MHz to 75.747 MHz B3 vsk

17. Changing B and b • Idea: changing A affects h too much • Changes stopping too soon because of h • B and b have less effect on h→ change just these two • B and b derivatives used to create 2-D gradient vector with length k in direction of increasing B3 • k increased until e increased 5% • h increased less but e increased more! • B3 increased from 12.025 MHz to 49.237 MHz B3 vsk

18. Broadening One Mode • All three methods successfully broadened the 3rd Dipole mode • Changing A, B and b as a 3-D gradient → most successful method • B3 grew 6 times wider! It is possible to significantly increase the bandwidth of one dipole mode of a 90°-cavity with limits on e and h by modifying only the elliptic arc parameters.

19. Broadening All Modes Next step: increase net bandwidth of all seven modes • Need to maximize goal function: • Monte Carlo Method • Derivatives taken for each Bn with respect to each elliptic arc parameter (EAP) • Equations created predicting change in Bn for change in EAPs (assuming linear dependence of Bn on EAP) • 10,000 random numbers generated from a set range for each EAP → 10,000 values for each Bn prediction • EAPs maximizing predicted G without exceeding e or h limit recorded • Prediction tested Monte Carlo Casino

20. Broadening All Modes • Predictions become much less accurate after range amplitude exceeds 1.0 • So different by range amplitude of 5.0 that calculations were stopped • Maybe derivatives continue to change with range → must be recalculated for every increase of 1.0? • G was increased by 20.881 MHz when the range amplitude was 5.0 ΔG vs Range of Random Numbers

21. Broadening All Modes • In this case, derivatives were recalculated for each step of 1.0 in range • Predicted and actual values are closer but differences more erratic • G was increased by 20.100 MHz when the range amplitude was 5.0 • Slightly less than when derivatives were kept the same! ΔG vs Range of Random Numbers

22. Broadening All Modes Frequency vs Phase Shift for 7 Dipole Modes • Both Monte Carlo approaches successfully increased the net bandwidth of all seven modes • Leaving derivatives the same → better results than recalculating at each step • Small increase compared with initial G, but final value still better than ERL or TESLA It is possible to increase the net bandwidth of a 90°-cavity with limits on e and h by using a Monte Carlo technique to modify elliptic arc parameters. Final: dashed Initial: solid line Brillouin light lines : dotted

23. Sixth Dipole Mode • A special case: B6 = fπ – fπ/4, not |fπ - f0| as with all other modes • When general calculation is applied to this mode → B6 is half what it should be • If half- or single-cell geometries are used for calculation, correct bandwidth is overlooked • Multicell cavity must be used! • More accurate bandwidth formula necessary for future broadening of bands • B = fmax– fmin? Frequency vs Phase Shift for 6th Dipole Mode

24. Conclusion • Several successful ways to reduce trapped modes by broadening bandwidth were determined • A single mode was broadened significantly using a 3-D gradient vector to modify elliptic arc parameters • Net bandwidth was broadened using a Monte Carlo random number technique
