TCLK Must Stay! CAMAC Must Go! How Does Fermilab Move Forward
M. R. Austin, L. Carmichael, D. McArthur +2
The current Timing System at Fermilab has been around for 40 years and currently relies on 7 CAMAC crates and over 100 CAMAC cards to produce the Tevatron Clock (TCLK). Thanks to t…
Performance Enhancement of Medium-Temperature Baked Niobium SRF Cavity by Surface Contamination Removal
V. Chouhan, D. Bice, A. Cravatta +5
Medium temperature (mid-T) baking, typically conducted at 300 350 C, enhances the quality factor of niobium (Nb) superconducting radio frequency cavities. High vacuum furnace bakin…
Booster Cavity Damper Redesign for PIP-II
Dustin Pieper, Brian Vaughn, Robyn Madrak
A new Higher Order Mode (HOM) damper was designed and tested for the Booster accelerator cavity at Fermilab. In anticipation of the PIP-II upgrade, it was discovered that the highe…
Optics Reconstruction in the SCL Section of the FNAL Linac
J. -P. Carneiro, E. Chen, A. Pathak +2
The Side-Coupled Linac (SCL) section of the FNAL linac accelerates the beam from 117 MeV to 401.5 MeV, operating at 22-24 mA beam current. Transverse focusing is performed by 32 qu…
Recent progress in high-temperature superconducting undulators
Zhuangwei Chen, Marco Calvi, John Durrell +4
Considerable effort has been devoted to the development of superconducting undulators (SCUs) intended for particle accelerator-based light sources, including synchrotrons and free…
Beam Dynamics simulations for ERDC project -- SRF linac for industrial use
N. Solyak, I. Gonin, A. Saini +5
Compact conductively cooled SRF industrial linacs can provide unique parameters of the electron beam for industrial applications. (up to 10MeV, 1MW). For ERDC project we designed n…
