Conditions for RF acceleration • Two conditions for RF acceleration should be fulfilled: • The wave has electric field component in the direction of particle motion • The wave phase velocity is equal to the particle velocity: synchronism • Two periodic systems can be used for the RF acceleration • Periodically loaded waveguides: acceleration by a traveling wave. Periodic reflections from the conducting walls reduces phase velocity of the wave below the speed of light • So far traveling wave structures are use in electron linacs only • Periodic coupled resonator structure: acceleration by a standing wave. Standing wave is composed of a sum of two traveling waves prorogating in opposite directions • Room temperature linacs • Single resonators structures • Mainly superconducting cavities P.N.

Effective shunt impedance of accelerating structure • V is the effective voltage which includes transit time factor, R is the shunt impedance of the cavity (see also Lecture 6, p.45) • In Linacs we also use effective shunt impedance per unit length, L is the length of the accelerating structure • The maximum accelerating field in resonators is limited with breakdown field EPEAK • Depending on specific type of the resonator,E0is lower than EPEAK by factor of 2-6 P.N. Ostroumov Lecture 11 PHY862 "Accelerator Systems"
Peak fields in accelerating cavities • Normal conducting structures made from copper • Kilpatrick limit was introduced in 1950s, it is an empirical formula • In modern structures, electric field exceeds Kilpatrick limit by a factor of 1.5 – 2.0 • Superconducting structures • Peak magnetic field is limited by quench, theoretical value is ~200 mT at 2K • Peak electric field is limited by the surface quality. ~120 MV/m can be achieved. Operational values are lower • Peak fields can not be measured • These ratios are known from the simulations of the resonator design • EACC can be obtained experimentally from the stored energy P.N. Ostroumov Lecture 11 PHY862 "Accelerator Systems"
Linac economics The linac cost is sum of capital and operation cost The capital cost is the cost of accelerating structure The operational cost is the electric bill and maintenance effort The cost of a linac depends from the choice of an average accelerating gradient • Total cost, L is the length of linac • Capital cost per meter CL • Capital cost per watt of power CP • Energy gain • Power loss in the resonators’ walls, E includes TTF • Beam power P.N.

Notations P.N. Ostroumov Lecture 11 PHY862 "Accelerator Systems"
Radial dependence of the accelerating field • See Lectures 6, p 19,20 • The radial dependence of the accelerating field is notable only for hadron accelerating structures due to <c • The Bessel functions appear as a result of wave equation solution in axially-symmetric structures P.N. Ostroumov Lecture 11 PHY862 "Accelerator Systems"
Longitudinal motion In most of accelerators particles perform radial oscillation close to axis in the way that << 1 and the value of the modified Bessel function is close to 1. Compare to Lecture 5, now we have radial dependence of the accelerating field P.N. Ostroumov Lecture 11 PHY862 "Accelerator Systems"
Hamiltonian is generalized momentum which is canonically conjugate to the generalized motion coordinate Hamiltonian describes particle oscillations around synchronous particle. If we assume that particle energy and velocity are changing slowly during particle oscillations then the Hamiltonian does not depend on time and it is a constant of motion. P.N.
