HOM-Damping Studies in a Multi-Cell Elliptical Superconducting RF Cavity for the Multi-Turn Energy Recovery Linac PERLE

Higher order mode (HOM) damping is a crucial issue for the next generation of high-current energy recovery linacs (ERLs). Beam-induced HOMs can store sufficient energy in the superconducting RF (SRF) cavities, giving rise to beam instabilities and increasing the heat load at cryogenic temperatures. To limit these effects, using HOM couplers on the cutoff tubes of SRF cavities becomes crucial to absorb beam-induced wakefields consisting of all cavity eigenmodes. The study presented here focuses on a 5-cell 801.58 MHz elliptical SRF cavity designed for the multi-turn energy recovery linac PERLE (Powerful Energy Recovery Linac for Experiments). Several coaxial coupler designs are analyzed and optimized to enhance the damping of monopole and dipole HOMs of the 5-cell cavity. The broadband performance of HOM damping is also confirmed by the time-domain wakefield and the frequency-domain simulations. In addition, the thermal behavior of the HOM couplers is investigated. A comparison between various HOM-damping schemes is carried out to guarantee an efficient HOM power extraction from the cavity.

Implications of beam filling patterns on the design of recirculating Energy Recovery Linacs

Recirculating energy recovery linacs are a promising technology for delivering high power particle beams ($\sim$GW) while only requiring low power ($\sim$kW) RF sources. This is achieved by decelerating the used bunches and using the energy they deposit in the accelerating structures to accelerate new bunches. We present studies of the impact of the bunch packet filling pattern on the performance of the accelerating RF system. We perform RF beam loading simulations under various noise levels and beam loading phases with different injection schemes. We also present a mathematical description of the RF system during the beam loading, which can identify optimal beam filling patterns under different conditions. The results of these studies have major implications for design constraints for future energy recovery linacs, by providing a quantitative metric for different machine designs and topologies.

Production of highly-polarized positrons using polarized electrons at MeV energies

The Polarized Electrons for Polarized Positrons experiment at the injector of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility has demonstrated for the first time the efficient transfer of polarization from electrons to positrons produced by the polarized bremsstrahlung radiation induced by a polarized electron beam in a high-$Z$ target. Positron polarization up to 82\% have been measured for an initial electron beam momentum of 8.19~MeV/$c$, limited only by the electron beam polarization. This technique extends polarized positron capabilities from GeV to MeV electron beams, and opens access to polarized positron beam physics to a wide community.
