ILCAmericas ILC Cavity and Cryomodule R&D Goals

• ILC R&D at Fermilab is focused to address the high priority ILC design and technical issues as recommended by ILC-TRC and recently by ILC-GDE R&D Board.

• The main thrust of the ILC Cavity and Cryomodule R&D is to establish technical capabilities in the Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) Cavity and Cryomodule technology. The main goals are

– Cavity technology development in the US to routinely achieve > 35 MV/m and Q ~0.5-1e10,

– ILC Cryomodule design, fabrication (cost reduction)

– Fully tested basic building blocks of the Main Linac (Evaluate the integration, reliabilities issues and value engineering).

– LLRF, Instrumentation and Controls development for Main Linac

• Development of U.S. laboratories and industrial infrastructure for the fabrication, processing and testing of high performance SRF cavities, Coupler, Tuner, HOM and Cryomodule.

ILCAmericas Plans for 35 MV/m• Cavity Fabrication, Preparation, Surface Processing, Clean Surface and Clean

environment is the key to achieving a high gradient in the ILC cavities.

• Fermilab is leading the US effort with collaborating laboratories.

– Niobium is being scanned at Fermilab. (Need larger inventory. There are variation from batch to batch, vendor to vendor etc.)

– Cavity is being fabricated at industry under the supervision of Fermilab and Cornell. Jlab will join this soon.

– Cavity is being processed (BCP and EP) and vertical tested at Cornell, Jlab and will be processed at ANL/FNAL

• The processing infrastructure needs more focused effort. Experiences from DESY and KEK suggest that we build this facility at where cavity is dressed, horizontally tested and put in a string.

• We are in process of having this facility at Fermilab by 07.

• Fermilab is fabricating 8 (FY05), 16(FY06), 24-36 (FY07) ILC cavities. More could be needed to

• These cavities will be systematically processed and testing. We would systematically collect data during the fabrication, processing and testing.

• These data would be analyzed for co-relations to understand the process.

ILCAmericas ILC Cavity: R&D

• Material R&D: Fine, Large, Single Crystal• Fabrication

– A number of minor modifications and improvements could be implemented without impact to the basic cavity design.

• Cavity Preparation • Buffer Chemical Processing• Cavity Processing R&D

– Electro-polishing (EP) System– High Pressure Rinsing (HPR)– Clean Assembly Procedure

ILCAmericas Cavity Fabrication

• Industrial production of the cavity by Fermilab (ACCEL, AES)

• 8 TESLA Design Cavities ordered• 10 ILC Baseline Design Cavities in FY06

• Cavity fabrication at Jlab• 2 ILC Baseline design and Type-IV• 2 Low Loss Cavity• Several single cell for Process and Material R&D • Material R&D (Fine Grain, Large Grain, Single Crystal)

• Cavity fabrication at Cornell• Re-Entrant Cavities (70 mm)• Re-Entrant Cavities (60 mm)• Several single cell for Process R&D

• Cavity fabrication at KEK (US-Japan)• Cavities of TESLA, Low Loss and ICHIRO design

ILC Surface Processing Facility Development at ANL/FNAL

• The Joint ANL/FNAL Superconducting Surface Processing Facility (SCSPF), located at Argonne National Laboratory, is a major chemical processing facility capable of electro-polishing and buffered chemical polishing a large quantity and variety of superconducting structures.

• This BCP part of the facility is ready and going through the safety approval. It is expected to be operational end of 06.

• An initial plans has been developed for an EP facility to be build (FY06-07) at ANL/Fermilab Surface Processing Facility at ANL.

• This facility should include the knowledge of EP from the ILC Collaboration.

ILCAmericas Cryomodule Design and Fabrication

• In FY05 Fermilab started on converting the DESY/INFN design of the ILC cryomodule (Type-III+).

• We have formed an ILC Cryomodule working group that is working towards a design of an ILC cryomodule. This design will evolve.

• The Goal is to design an improved ILC cryomodule (Type-IV) and build one at Fermilab by FY08.

1st US Assembled Cryomodule: Fermilab, DESY and INFN

• DESY will send Fermilab eight 9-Cell 1.3 GHz dressed and horizontally tested cavities. – The present schedule for the delivery of these 8 cavities is around end of

2006. DESY will attempt to advance this schedule.

• DESY and INFN have ordered two cold masses for Type-III cryomodules from Zanon. – DESY will send one of these cold masses to Fermilab for the 1st

cryomodule assembly at Fermilab. – It is expected that this cold mass will be available about Sept.-Oct. 2006.

• Some parts for the 1.3 GHz cryomodule are not provided by Zanon but rather by INFN. – It was agreed that INFN will send these associated parts to Fermilab and

provide parts needed for a 3rd cold mass.  – INFN-DESY will also send the assembly documentation to Fermilab.

• Fermilab will work to achieve the earliest possible delivery date for the DESY four cavity 3.9 GHz cryomodule. This is currently expected to be early in  2007.

ILCAmericas ILC Cryomodule Design Considerations• Move quad package to middle of cryomodule to achieve better

support and alignment.

• Shorten cavity-to-cavity interconnect and simplify for ease of fabrication and cost reduction. Possible superconducting joint.

• Overall improved packing factor.

• Minimize direct heat load to cavity through MC.

• Simplify the assembly procedure.

• MLI redesign to reduce hands-on labor costs.

• More robust design to survive shipping.

• Reliability of tuner motors in cold operation.

• Etc. (we’ve heard many suggestions)

Could lab really spend the Money Faster on ILC than its currently funded?

• Yes, Yes and Yes• Fermilab has qualified scientists and engineers who wants to

work on ILC.• We continue to defer investment that would be needed for more

focused R&D.– Cavity R&D: (This is the highest R&D priority for ILC-GDE)

• Niobium • More cavities fabrication at industry. We should fabricate enough to saturate

the pipeline at existing and upcoming processing facilities. • Electron Beam Welding• Surface Processing: We need a pre-production BCP, EP and HPR system at

Fermilab• Vendor development

– Cavity Tuning Device ( A copy of DESY Design)– Vertical testing temperature study– Cryomodule Testing– 10 MWatt Klystron– Cryogenic plant– Industrial fabrication

• US industries could fabricate an RF unit using laboratory infrastructure.
