In this article, the ramping curve of cavity voltage, amplitude and phase control loop with vector sum of the two 5-cell cavities, tuning loop and field flatness loop are analyzed and discussed in detail.A different method in tuning loop is adopted due to the limitations of ADC channels. The function realizes energy ramping of electron beam from 150 Me V to 3.5 Ge V with a repetition rate of 2 Hz. With the new LLRF controller, the phase stability at ramping mode in 10 hours long operation is improved from ±1.5°(RMS) with open loop to ±0.15°(RMS) with close loop, while the detuning phase and field flatness are maintained to within ±2°and ±1%, respectively.展开更多

A copper prototype cavity and a niobium cavity were fabricated at SINAP in 2012. In order to ensure these cavities get the desired frequency and a good field flatness higher than 98%, frequency control was implemented in the manufacturing process and pre-tuning has been done using a simple pre-tuning frame based on the bead-pull pre-tuning method. Then, TM010-π mode frequency within 5 kHz from the target frequency was achieved and the field flatness reached 98.9% on the copper prototype cavity. Finally, the same procedure was applied to the niobium cavity to obtain a field flatness better than 98% which benefited the cavity performance in the vertical testing.展开更多

A series of surface preparation methods and relevant apparatuses have been constructed at Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics(SINAP) and the standard procedures of cavity processing were established and successfully applied to different types of cavities. With standard surface preparation procedures on the 500 MHz 5-cell niobium cavity, the cavity accelerating voltage at T = 4.2 K reached 7.5 MV while its quality factor was still higher than 1 × 109.The accelerating gradient of the IMP-HWR010 cavity reached 4.9 MV/m with the quality factor of better than3 × 108 at 4.2 K.展开更多

The performance of the fundamental mode was optimized and the higher order modes were damped by adopting an enlarged beam pipe for propagation. Surface preparation or treatment including mechanical polishing, buffered chemical polishing and high pressure rinsing with ultra-pure water and so on was carried out carefully to ensure a perfect inner surface condition. The vertical testing results show that the accelerating voltage higher than 7.5 MV was obtained while the quality factor was better than 1× 109 at 4.2 K. No obvious multipacting or field emission was found during the test. However, a quench happened while increasing the field a little higher than 7.5 MV that at present limited the cavity performance.展开更多
