Testing of the ESS superconducting Elliptical cavity
Project description
ESS will adopt elliptical multi-cell superconducting cavities with a beta value of 0.86 to accelerate the proton beam up to 2 GeV at the last section of the linac. A 5-cell high-beta cavity for the ESS project was tested with high power at FREIA Laboratory. A pulse mode test stand based on a self-excited loop was used in this test. The qualification of the cavity package involved a 5-cell elliptical cavity, a fundamental power coupler, a cold tuning system, LLRF system and an RF station. These tests represented an important verification before the series production. Fruitful studies of the test chain, RF conditioning, high power performance and experience of this cavity have been done in this test.
