A 325MHz beta=0.14 superconducting half wave resonator(HWR) prototype has been developed at the Institute of High Energy Physics(IHEP), which can be applied in continuous wave (CW) high beam proton accelerators. In this paper, the electromagnetic (EM) design, multipacting simulation, mechanical optimization, and fabrication are introduced in details. In vertical test at 4.2K, the cavity reached Eacc=7MV/m with Q0=1.4*10^9 and Eacc=15.9MV/m with Q0=4.3*10^8.

A superconducting half-wave resonator (HWR) of frequency=162.5 MHz and {beta}=0.09 has been developed at Institute of Modern Physics. Mechanical stability of the low beta HWR cavity is a big challenge in cavity design and optimization. The mechanical deformations of a radio frequency superconducting cavity could be a source of instability, both in continues wave(CW) operation or in pulsed mode. Generally, the lower beta cavities have stronger Lorentz force detuning than that of the higher beta cavities. In this paper, a basic design consideration in the stiffening structure for the detuning effect caused by helium pressure and Lorentz force has been presented. The mechanical modal analysis has been investigated with finite element method(FEM). Based on these considerations, a new stiffening structure has been promoted for the HWR cavity. The computation results concerning the frequency shift show that the low beta HWR cavity with new stiffening structure has low frequency sensitivity coefficient, Lorentz force detuning coefficient KL and stable mechanical property.
A 162.5 MHz superconducting half-wave resonator (HWR) with geometry beta of 0.09 is being developed for Injector II of China Accelerator Driven Sub-critical System (CADS) Project at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP). The HWR section composed of 16 HWR cavities will accelerate the proton beam from 2.1 MeV to 10 MeV. The RF and mechanical coupled analysis are essential in geometry design in order to predict the deformation of the cavity walls and the frequency shift caused by the deformation. In this paper, the detuning caused by both bath helium pressure and Lorentz force is analysed and a tuning system has been investigated and designed to compensate the detuning by deforming the cavity along the beam axis. The simulations performed with ANSYS code show that the tuning system can adjust and compensate the frequency drift due to external vibrations and helium pressure fluctuation during operation.
Recently, heat treatment between 250 C and 500 C has been attempted to improve quality factor of superconducting radio-frequency cavities at FNAL and KEK. Experiments of such medium temperature (mid-T) bake with furnaces have also been carried out at IHEP. Firstly, eleven 1.3 GHz 1-cell cavities were treated with different temperatures at a small furnace. The average quality factor has reached 3.6E10 when the gradient is 16 MV/m. Then, the recipe of mid-T furnace bake at 300 C for 3 hours has been applied to six 1.3 GHz 9-cell cavities at a new big furnace. The average quality factor has reached 3.8E10 when the gradient is 16 MV/m.
The present state of progress in laser wakefield acceleration encourages considering it as a practical alternative to conventional particle accelerators. A promising application would be to use a laser-plasma accelerator as an injector for a synchrotron light source. Yet, the energy spread and jitter of the laser-plasma beam pose a significant difficulty for an efficient injection. In this paper we propose a design of a prototype injector to deliver 500 MeV low-intensity electron bunches to the DESY-II electron synchrotron. The design utilizes presently available conventional accelerator technology, such as a chicane and an X-band radio frequency cavity, to reduce the energy spread and jitter of the electron beam down to a sub-per-mille level.
The article presents an overview of the results obtained at U-70 accelerator of IHEP to use bent crystals for beam control of high energy protons. Considerable attention is paid to practical application of crystals to create new modes of beam extraction from the accelerator to ensure experiments on high energy physics. It was shown that with the crystal deflectors the efficiency reached ~ 90% with intensity up to 10^12 protons per cycle of U-70. The results of experiments on the use of crystals to enhance the effectiveness of the absorption of the unused beam, as well as the use of crystals for collimation of beam halo are presented. Perspectives to use of bent crystals to extract low energy light ions from U-70 are also discussed.
