R&D of an LLRF control system for a 162.5 MHz radio frequency system

This paper describes a low level radio frequency control system that was developed by the Institute of Modern Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences, and will be used in Injector II of the China-ADS project. The LLRF control system consists of an RF modulated front end, fast analog-to-digital converter (ADC) modules, and a digital signal processing board based on a field programmable gate array. The system has been tested on a room temperature cavity with 12-hr, and the results illustrate that the stability of amplitude and phase achieved ±0.32% and ±0.35 degrees, respectively.

Development of a Superconducting Double-Spoke Cavity at IMP

Superconducting multi-spoke cavities are well-known optional choice for acceleration of heavy ions in medium energy. This paper describes the RF design, mechanical design, and test results of the superconducting double-spoke cavity developed at IMP. After Buffered Chemical Polishing and High Pressure Rinsing, one cavity has gone through high gradient RF testing at 4.2 K in the Vertical Test Stand. We present measurements of the quality factor as a function of accelerating field and maximum field on the surface. Accelerating gradient of more than 15 MV/m is reached with peak electric field of 61 MV/m, and peak magnetic field of 118 mT.

Study of medium beta elliptical cavities for CADS

The China Accelerator-Driven Sub-critical System (CADS) is a high intensity proton facility to dispose of nuclear waste and generate electric power. CADS is based on a 1.5 GeV, 10 mA CW superconducting (SC) linac as a driver. The high energy section of the linac is composed of two families of SC elliptical cavities which are designed with geometrical beta 0.63 and 0.82. In this paper, the 650 MHz β=0.63 SC elliptical cavity is studied, including cavity optimization, multipacting, high order modes (HOMs) and generator RF power calculation.The China Accelerator Driven Sub-critical System (CADS) is a high intensity proton facility to dispose of nuclear waste and generate electric power.

Two‐proton Emission from 29S and 17Ne Excited States via Coulomb Excitation

The experiments of two‐proton emission from 29S and 17Ne excited levels were performed at HIRFL‐RIBLL facility of Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou. Complete kinematics measurements were achieved by the detectors of silicon strip and CsI+PIN array after the 197Au target. The preliminary results show the strong correlation of two protons according to the spectrum of correlated proton‐proton energies in the laboratory reference frame.
