The area near Choke tip

Conclusion: • The E-field near the choke tip

increases obviously, so the distance from the choke tip to the ceramic surface should be carefully selected.

• The H-field gratitude along the ceramic radius is high, especially the H-field on the inner conductor is quite high, so the dimension of the ceramic window inner conductor is not allowed to be too small.

Qe calculation

• This work discusses the positioning of the high power input coupler for IHEP 1.3GHz 9-cell SCC. It examines the method used to reduce the model to enable faster solutions whilst still maintaining accurate results.

In order to faster solving, the model was reduced to 4.5-cell since Qe scales with the number of cells. The field flatness in every cell should be assured before the coupling analysis. Two parameters related with Qe were studied: 1) the coupler input port position; 2) the antenna penetration depth

• To obtain the optimum 2×106 ， we can:– Chose the distance from

end cell to coupler port center D=40mm, adjust the antenna penetration near 4mm;

– Chose the distance from end cell to coupler port center D=45mm, adjust the antenna penetration near 7mm;

– Chose the distance from end cell to coupler port center D=50mm, adjust the antenna penetration near 10mm;

Part III:

Some questions to be consulted

one MP resonance conditioned satisfied at operating power on flat wall

If the crest is wide enough (~2-3 mm), it may be able to support a MP buildup, or MP may jump across

Based on scaling, for a given bellows undulation or step, more MP resonances may be supported simultaneously, potentially increasing the conditioning area and gas load

Question 1: Have you done MP simulation? 2D or 3D simulation? Tools?Did you find MP occurs inside the coupler, especially on the bellow area during high power test? How to avoid MP?

“Coupler component Test stand Activities at SLAC/ LLNL”, TTC meeting @ KEK, WG1-input coupler, 2006

Bellows or Steps May Lead to More Pervasive Multipacting

Question2:

What’s the fabrication difficulties?

• Copper Plating on Bellows?

• Vacuum sealing of bellows?

• Other?

Question3:About ceramic:

• KEK coupler choose 95% Al2O3, why don’t you choose high purity ceramic?

• Is the thermal shock tests of the ceramic necessary? Put into liquid nitrogen repeatedly: repeated times?

Thermal Shock Test

Question4: Does the dimension shrinking from room temperature to cryo-temperature impact the power transmission performance?

Why is the central frequency a little below 1.3GHz? Does it have relationship with dimension shrinking?

My guess: Right?

The RF structures simulated

are at room temperature and after cooling down, the central frequency will shift to 1.3GHz.

Question5:

Why does KEK STF coupler make a independent Vacuum in the inner conductor, since it results in DC bias impossible?

What’s the sealing gasket of the flange?

What’s the method used in bellow connecting?

Question8: Except copper plating, does the coaxial lines received other plating, e.g. ion plating? Plating method? Thickness?
