The superconducting cavities in the continuous wave (CW) linacs of LCLS-II are designed to operate at 2 K, where cooling costs are very expensive. One source of heat is presented by the higher order mode (HOM) power deposited by the beam. Due to the very short bunch length--especially in L3 the final linac--the LCLS-II beam spectrum extends into the terahertz range. Ceramic absorbers, at 70 K and located between cryomodules, are meant to absorb much of this power. In this report we perform two kinds of calculations to estimate the effectiveness of the absorbers and the amount of beam power that needs to be removed at 2 K.

In LCLS-II, after acceleration and compression and just before entering the undulator, the beam passes through 2.5 km of 24.5 mm (radius) stainless steel pipe. The bunch that passes through the pipe is extremely short---with an rms of 8 um for the nominal 100 pC case. Thus, even though the pipe has a large aperture, the wake that applies is the {it short-range} resistive wall wakefield. The bunch distribution is approximately uniform, and therefore the wake induced voltage is characterized by a rather linear voltage chirp. It turns out that the wake supplies needed dechirping to the LCLS-II beam before it enters the undulator. In this note we calculate the wake, discuss the confidence in the calculation, and investigate how to improve the induced chirp linearity and/or strength. Finally, we also study the strength and effects of the transverse (dipole) resistive wall wakefield.
This paper describes the concept for the DArk Sector Experiments at LCLS-II (DASEL) facility which provides a near-CW beam of multi-GeV electrons to the SLAC End Station A for experiments in particle physics. The low-current multi-GeV electron beam is produced parasitically by the superconducting RF linac for the LCLS-II X-ray Free Electron Laser, which is under construction at SLAC. DASEL is designed to host experiments to detect light dark matter such as the Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) but can be configured to support a wide range of other experiments requiring current ranging from pico-amps to micro-amps.
In a partnership with SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) and Jefferson Lab, Fermilab will assemble and test 17 of the 35 total 1.3 GHz cryomodules for the Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II) Project. These include a prototype built and delivered by each Lab. Another two 3.9 GHz cryomodules will be built, tested and transported by Fermilab to SLAC. Each assembly will be transported over-the-road from Fermilab or Jefferson Lab using specific routes to SLAC. The transport system consists of a base frame, isolation fixture and upper protective truss. The strongback cryomodule lifting fixture is described along with other supporting equipment used for both over-the-road transport and local (on-site) transport at Fermilab. Initially, analysis of fragile components and stability studies will be performed in order to assess the risk associated with over-the-road transport of a fully assembled cryomodule.
Quality factor is a primary cost driver for high energy, continuous wave (CW) SRF linacs like the LCLS-II X-ray free electron laser currently under construction. Taking this into account, several innovations were introduced in the LCLS-II cryomodule design to push substantially beyond the previous state-of-the-art quality factor achieved in operation. This includes the first ever implementation of the nitrogen doping cavity treatment, the capability to provide high mass flow cooldown to improve expulsion of magnetic flux based on recent R&D, high performance magnetic shielding, and other critical subcomponents. To evaluate the implementation of these new cryomodule features, two prototype cryomodules were produced. In this paper, we present results from the prototype cryomodule assembled at Fermilab, which achieved unprecedented cavity quality factors of 3.0e10 at a nominal cryomodule voltage. We overview cavity performance, procedures to achieve ambient magnetic field < 5 mG at the cavity wall, and the successful demonstration of high mass flow cooldown in a cryomodule. The cavity performance under various cool down conditions are presented as well to show the impact of flux expulsion on Q0.
Field emission is one of the factors that can limit the performance of superconducting radio frequency cavities. In order to reduce possible field emission in LCLS-II (Linac Coherent Light Source II), we are developing plasma processing for 1.3 GHz 9-cell cavities. Plasma processing can be applied in situ in the cryomodule to mitigate field emission related to hydrocarbon contamination present on the cavity surface. In this paper, plasma cleaning was applied to single cell and 9-cell cavities, both clean and contaminated; the cavities were cold tested before and after plasma processing in order to compare their performance. It was proved that plasma cleaning does not negatively affect the nitrogen doping surface treatment; on the contrary, it preserves the high quality factor and quench field. Plasma processing was also applied to cavities with natural field emission or artificially contaminated. It was found that this technique successfully removes carbon-based contamination from the cavity iris and that it is able to remove field emission in a naturally field emitting cavity. Vacuum failure experiments were simulated on four cavities, and in some cases plasma processing was able to achieve an increase in performance.
