Introduction

• The ESS linac is designed to provide:– 5 MW of average beam power– 125 MW of peak power– A repetition rate of 14 Hz– 95% availability

• The cost target for the ESS Linac is 497 M€• The current cost estimate for the October 2012

baseline is 586 M€*• *Estimated cost in October 2012 was 550 M€.• Since then, cost estimates have been updated.

– The RF cost has increased by 17 M€ – The Primavera rate change and the addition of the M-ECCTD increased the cost by another 6 M€ – Although not final, the per unit cost of the cryomodules has increased by approximately 0.5 M€ giving a

total increase of 23 M€.

The Long Pulse Concept

• Advantage - No compressor ring required– No space charge tune shift so peak beam current can be

supplied at almost any energy– Relaxed constraints on beam emittance

• This is especially true if the beam expansion system for the target is based on raster scanning of the beam on the target.

– No H- and associated intra-beam stripping losses– Permits the implementation of target raster scanning

• Disadvantage - Experiment requirements “imprint” Linac pulse structure– Duty factor is large for a copper linac– Duty factor is small for a superconducting linac

Accelerator Design Update (ADU)

• At the beginning of the ADU, it was recognized that the beam current of 150 mA introduced considerable technical risk:– Beam Loss– Funnel concept

• In ADU, the beam current was reduced to 50 mA.– Linac energy increased by 2.5 x to compensate for most of the

reduction– For this substantial increase in linac energy, superconducting RF is

a more economical choice• Higher gradients, shorter linac• Lower operational costs

– In addition superconducting RF has a much bigger aperture.

2012 Design• Design Features

– 2.5 GeV, 50mA, 2.86 mS, 14 Hz– 98% superconducting– Superconducting linac at 352 &

704 MHz• 1/3 current in 4x the aperture

– 14cm bore compared to 7 cm• High gradient – 18 MV/meter

(compared to 12 MV/meter)• Dynamic heat load 65%

(compared to current 25%)

Cost Targets• Although the 2008 design with 150 mA of beam current has higher

technical risk, it has an inherently lower construction cost than the October 2012 baseline.– Large fraction of the 2008 linac consists of normal conducting structures which

are significantly less expensive to build than superconducting structures– Lower energy (but higher beam current) requires a significantly shorter linac

with less accelerating structures• However the current cost targets are based on the 2008 design even

though the October 2012 design:– Has many more superconducting structures– But provides less technical risk

• The only way to close the gap between the cost estimate and cost target is– to modify the October 2012 baseline by adding technical risk – or increasing the cost target

ESS Cost Distribution as of October 2012

RF System Cost Distribution

Cost breakdown for 704 MHz Elliptical RF systems

Cost breakdown for high beta cryomodule

system.

Cost Drivers• Elliptical cryomodules occupy

19% of the cost – There are 45 elliptical

cryomodules• The cryogenic plant absorbs

14% of the total cost. • RF systems comprise 37% of the

cost. – The RF costs are distributed

over five major systems– The elliptical section comprises

82% of the RF system cost. • For the elliptical section,

– the klystrons and modulators comprise 80% of the RF system cost.

– 62% of the total cost of the linac.

– 92% of the acceleration energy

Cost Reduction Strategy

• The cost of the elliptical cryomodules and associated RF systems are the largest cost driver in the ESS Linac

• Reducing the number of superconducting cavities will have the largest impact on cost and design contingency – each cavity that is removed from the design not only removes the cost of the cavity – but also removes the need (and cost) for the RF power sources that feed the cavity.

• Therefore, the design contingency strategy will hold the average beam power constant while looking for avenues to minimize the number of superconducting cavities.

Cost Models• For any given strategy, as the number of cryomodules is reduced, the

remaining cryomodules require more RF power to compensate.• Simple models have been developed to predict the increased cost of more

RF power• Cryogenic costs

– In the case were the dynamic heat load is 100% of the total heat load, the amount of cooling that the cryoplant needs to provide is constant for a constant amount of beam power. • At the current duty factor of 4%, a significant fraction of the total heat load is the static

heat load which is proportional to the number of cryomodules.• Reducing the number of cryomodules decreases the static heat load hence less load on the

cryoplant.• Taking a conservative approach and leaving room for flexibility, it will be assumed that the

cost of the cryogenics will be proportional to average beam power.

– Because of the large static heat load, the cost of cryomodules as a function of dynamic load will be ignored as a first order estimate.

Increasing The Duty Factor

• The choice of a superconducting linac becomes obvious as the duty factor increases.

• From an accelerator design point of view, increasing the duty factor has the least impact on the configuration of the accelerator.

• As the duty factor is increased – by either increasing the pulse length or the repetition rate, – the final energy of the linac can be decreased and still

provide the same average beam power. • However, increasing the duty factor will reduce the peak

neutron flux

Page 15: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

15

Increasing The Duty Factor• Increasing the duty factor from 4.0% to 4.8%. by increasing the

pulse length from 2.86 mS to 3.4ms would – reduce the energy of the linac to 2087 MeV.– permit 6 cryomodules to be removed

• The cost of the remaining – modulators will increase by 10% – klystrons will increase by 2.6%.

• The effective cost of a cryomodule system (cryomodule + RF) increases by 3.2%.

• Thus only 82% of the cost of the six cryomodules removed is recovered in cost savings.

• In summary, increasing the pulse length by 20% reduces the cost of the linac by 5.9%.

Page 16: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

16

Increasing the Peak Surface Field

• The peak surface field in the 704 MHz elliptical superconducting cavities is limited to 40 MV/meter.

• If the limit on the maximum surface field was – increased by 10% to a value of 44 MV meter, – three high beta cryomodules could be removed.

• 10% more RF power would be required by the remaining RF sources. The cost of the remaining – modulators will increase by 5% – klystrons will increase by 1.3%.

• However 81% of the cost of the removed cryomodules and RF systems could be recovered

• Providing a cost reduction of almost 3% for the entire linac.

Page 17: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

17

Increasing the Beam Current• There are a number of “soft” limits on the peak beam current which are difficult to

quantify– Space charge forces– Halo, etc.

• A hard limit on beam current is the peak power in the RF couplers for the superconducting cavities.– The current coupler design has been tested to 1200kW– Due to the lack of test information, it is unknown if the couplers can be pushed harder.– As a result, 1200W in the couplers will be taken as a hard limit

• For a peak surface field of 44 MV/ meter, the beam current can be increased to 63.5 mA and keep the coupler power below 1200kW.

• If the beam current was increased to 55 mA and the peak surface field is increased to 44 MV/m, six high beta cryomodules could be removed. – 21% more RF power would be required by the remaining RF sources. The cost of the remaining

• modulators will increase by 10% • klystrons will increase by 2.7%.

• However 81% of the cost of the removed cryomodules and RF systems could be recovered • Providing a cost reduction of almost 5.8% for the entire linac.

Adjusting the Voltage Profile

• The October 2012 voltage profile is not maximum – so as to have a smooth

phase advance– Low emittance dilution

Page 19: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

19

Alternative Voltage Profiles• October 2012 profile

– 60 medium beta cavities in 15 C.M.• Smooth phase advance region

– 120 high beta cavities in 30 C.M. • Voltage matching region

• “High Beta Removed” profile– 60 medium beta cavities in 15

C.M.• “Unsmooth” phase advance

gives rise to 15% emittance growth

– 108 high beta cavities in 27 C.M.• Would need a matching region

• “Med. Beta Removed” profile– 48 medium beta cavities in 12

cryomodules• “Unsmooth” phase advance

gives rise to 15% emittance growth

– 120 high beta cavities in 30 C.M. • No matching region required

High beta cavities can produce more voltage at this energy

“Unsmooth” phase advance gives rise to 15% emittance growth

Page 20: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

20

Choice of Geometrical Beta• At an energy of 2500 MeV, the beam

beta is 0.96. • In the October 2012 baseline,

– the high beta cavities have a geometrical beta of 0.92

– which have an optimum beta of 0.985.• There is experimental evidence that for

a given peak surface field, higher accelerating gradient that can be achieved for higher geometrical beta cavities. – For example, the 0.86 cavity designed for

ESS by CEA • has an accelerating gradient of 17.9

MV/m • for a peak surface field of 40 MV/meter.

– A 0.92 cavity • could have an accelerating gradient of

18.7 MV/meter • for a surface field of 40 MV/meter.

Page 21: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

21

Choice of Geometrical Beta• For a peak surface field of 44MV/meter and

a beam current of 55 mA. – the required energy of the linac is reduced to

2273 MeV – the corresponding beam beta becomes 0.956.

• For the profile with the geometrical beta of 0.92, – 40 medium beta cavities (10 cryomodules) – 96 high beta cavities (24 cryomodules) reach

an energy of 2295 MeV. • For the profile with the geometrical beta of

0.86, – Only 28 medium beta cavities (7

cryomodules) are required. – However, 112 high beta cavities (28

cryomodules) are needed to reach an energy of 2333 MeV.

• Thus the higher geometrical beta of 0.92 requires one less cryomodule than the 0.86 cavities to achieve a minimum of 5 MW of beam power

Page 22: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

22

Choice of Geometrical Beta• For a peak surface field of 44MV/meter and a

beam current of 55 mA. – The 0.92 cavities require 1060 kW of peak RF

power – compared to 960 kW required for the 0.86

cavities. • Since the coupler design is independent of

geometrical beta, – it is possible to run 1060 kW of power into the

0.86 cavities – if the beam current is increased to 61 mA

• A beam current of 61 mA requires a final energy of only 2049 MeV for the linac. – The number of 0.86 high beta cavities can be

reduced to 96 cavities (24 cryomodules). • For the 0.92 design at 1060kW/coupler

– 34 elliptical cryomodules are required– 10 medium beta and 24 high beta

• For the 0.86 design at 1060kW/coupler – 31 elliptical cryomodules are required– 7 medium beta and 24 high beta

Page 23: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

23

Lattice Cell Length• For the October 2012 baseline design, the cell length along the linac

changes substantially. – 4.18 meters in the spokes, – 7.12 meters in the medium beta section with one cryomodule per cell– 15.19 meters in the high beta section with two cryomodules per cell.

• For a maximized voltage profile, a high beta bg=0.86, and an Ib=61mA, – over half the medium beta cryomodules are eliminated – the beginning of the high beta region is now 520 MeV

• At this energy, the current long high beta cells is too weak at to provide the desired phase advance per cell of 87 degrees with reasonable gradients in the quadrupoles.

• Thus a fourth type of cell with one high beta cryomodule per cell would be needed in this region.

Page 24: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

24

Uniform Lattice Cell Length• A tunnel design with many different cell lengths is very undesirable

with the perspective of considering future upgrades. • In the future, it might be advantageous to interchange medium beta

cryomodules with high beta cryomodules. • As the October 2012 baseline currently stands, this would be

difficult. • From a simplicity standpoint,

– The length of a lattice cell in the elliptical section of the linac should be uniform and independent of the geometrical beta of the cavities

– This would require all high beta cells to have only one cryomodule per cell. • This would require 12 more doublet quadrupole packages, • The cost impact would be minimal because a doublet quadrupole package is only

a few percent of the total cost of a cryomodule and associated RF systems.

Page 25: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

25

Uniform Lattice Cell Length• The length of the

superconducting section of the linac in the October 2012 baseline is 393 meters.

• For a maximized voltage profile, a high beta bg=0.86, and an Ib=61mA, – The length of the

superconducting section of the linac could be as short as 284.5 meters.

– With a uniform cell length the length of the superconducting section would be 304 meters.

Uniform Lattice Cell Length Advantages

• Common elliptical cryomodules independent of cavity beta

• Uniform spacing of the tunnel stubs• Smooth transverse focusing at the medium beta

– high beta transition• Stronger focusing and higher phase advance at

the end of the linac• Ability to interchange medium beta and high

beta cryomodules

Page 27: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

27

6 Cell Medium Beta Cavities• For a uniform lattice cell

length, – the current 5 cell medium

beta cavities need a drift of 0.2 meters after each cavity

– Might require a specialized port on the cryomodule to access the tuner package for both species of geometrical beta

• If 6 cell medium beta cavities (bg=0.67) are used, – the extra drift is reduced to

0.06 meters– One less high beta

cryomodule required– Need to look into SOMs

Page 28: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

28

Linac Performance• To evaluate lattice performance as a function of cost reduction, four different linac

configurations where evaluated. • 2012 Baseline:

– The October 2012 baseline that included 15 medium beta cryomodules and 30 high beta cryomodules• Prius:

– Includes a 22% increase in beam current, 10% increase in peak surface field, and a maximized voltage profile

– which resulted in requiring 7 medium beta cryomodules and 24 high beta cryomodules. – A uniform cell length in the medium and high beta sections is used which would permit interchange of

cryomodules of different betas in the future.• Smart:

– The same parameters as the Prius but with 6 cell medium beta cavities. – One less high beta cryomodule is required. – The six cell medium beta cavities are 93% of the length of the five cell high beta cavities which could

make much of the design of the high beta and the medium beta cryomodules similar.• Yugo:

– The same as the Smart but with an 18% increase in pulse length– (and a corresponding decrease in peak beam power). – The lattice requires 7 medium beta cryomodules and 18 high beta cryomodules.

Lattice Simulation Summary• The October 2012 Baseline

– most expensive – best emittance performance

• Prius, Smart, and Yugo all have maximized voltage profiles. – rapid longitudinal shrinking of the bunch length in the transition from the spoke to

medium beta section – corresponding increase of 15% in transverse emittance. – A fair amount of effort was made to smooth the phase advance – Little success in reducing the emittance growth in the medium beta sections.

• All these configurations used the same normal conducting front-end lattices– Which was optimized for the October 2012 Baseline configuration. – It is possible that better emittance performance could be obtained if the front-end

lattice is optimized for each configuration. – Additional work should also be carried out to understand the effect of cavity pass-

band modes.

Page 36: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

36

Comments on Technical Risk• Halo formation and emittance growth due to the increased beam

current. – It should be noted that the 2008 design had a factor of three times more

beam current in an aperture at least one fourth the size of the 2012 design. – Also future upgrades proposed for the ESS facility all rely on significant

increases in beam current well beyond the increase proposed in this presentation.

– The value of 50 mA chosen for the 2012 design was somewhat arbitrarily chosen • without regard to quantitative studies of halo formation and emittance growth • it will be hard to judge the added risk of going from 50 to 61 mA without in-depth

studies to distinguish the difference

– Finally, since the ESS linac does not have to inject into a ring, • the requirements on beam quality (e.g. beam emittance) can be relaxed. • This is especially true if the beam expansion system for the target is based on raster

scanning of the beam on the target.

Page 37: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

37

Comments on Technical Risk• Lower cavity yield due to increase requirements on higher average

accelerating field. – The value of 40-44 MV/meter for peak surface field is rather conservative

• compared to many other superconducting accelerators that are being built such as XFEL (50 MV/meter) or are in the planning stages facilities such as SPL and the ILC.

• However, aggressive w.r.t. SNS

– Superconducting RF technology has advanced rapidly over the preceding decade• Is likely to continue in the future to the point where the difference between 40

MV/meter to 44 MV meter will be seen as a modest increase in peak surface field. • Learn from the SNS experience

– Finally, it should be noted that the duty factor of the ESS linac is very low (4%) • significant contribution to the heat load is static. • The need for ultra-high quality factors required in such facilities as in Project X, FRIB,

and XFEL are not important for the ESS linac because of the low duty factor of the ESS linac.

Page 38: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

38

Technical Risk

• Halo Formation due to discontinuities in the transverse and longitudinal phase advance. – A significant fraction in the reduction in the number of

cryomodules arose from maximizing the voltage profile along the linac.

– This resulted in a 15% increase in transverse emittance. – This is a small increase in comparison to the available aperture and

is not likely to be noticed at the target station. – However, increase emittance gives fear to halo formation that

might limit the beam intensity as discussed above.• in-depth studies to distinguish the difference

– The experience at SNS has shown that a smooth lattice is not required for high intensity operations.

Page 39: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

39

Schedule Risk/Opportunity• The production of cryomodules and the associated RF station are not only cost drivers but

on the critical path for the entire program as well. • The reduction of 15 cryomodules out of 45 from the 2012 design will

– greatly reduce the production time – and since the cryomodules are installed serially, the installation period of the linac will be

shortened. • The specifications for the tender for the prototype of the klystrons and klystron

modulators have not been initiated. Therefore, there is no delay for the RF systems.• The number of cryomodules is significantly reduced with a geometrical beta of 0.86

– There is no design for the 0.92 cavities that is in the October 2012 design. – There exists only the design of 0.86 cavities and prototypes of these cavities are in the process of

fabrication. – Thus the choice geometrical beta of 0.86 proposed in this note not only reduces the number of

cryomodules but actually accelerates the schedule. • A uniform cell length provides the possibility that the medium and high beta cryomodules

could be interchangeable and possibly identical. – 6 cell medium beta cavities that would be close to the same length of the high beta cavities. – This would reduce the prototyping schedule (and cost) significantly because only one type

cryomodule prototype would need to be constructed.

Page 40: ESS Design Options David McGinnis 4 March 2013 1.

40

Cost Risk• Cost models were used to predict the cost vs. RF power

– It could be possible that these models are inaccurate or not precise enough to forecast the actual cost savings.

– In addition, the cost implications on the cryomodules where not looked at the same depth as the investigation of RF sources.

• It should be noted that there were some areas discounts on costs for the proposed changes were not taken. Chiefly among these was:– the reduced manufacturing costs of having only one cryomodule design – the reduced tunnel and gallery construction costs of having a uniform

lattice cell length.• However, this note did not propose any drastic technology change

so the risks in increased cost are mostly the same as for the 2012 design.

Summary

• The cost target of 497 M€ can be achieved if the October 2012 design is modified by– Increasing beam current by 22%– Increasing Peak Surface Field by 10%– Setting High Beta bg to 0.86– Adopting maximum voltage profile – Increasing pulse length by 8%

• Adopting a uniform lattice cell length in the elliptical section will permit design and schedule flexibility.

Next Steps• Confirmation on the cost target by EPG – Complete• Choice of Level 2 parameters (beam current, etc.) • The choice will be led by the lead engineer team working with

• Accelerator Physics• Work package leaders

– This will take time. • Some of the on-going design work in the work packages work will have to be slowed down or

put on hold

• Level 3 and 4 requirements defined– The requirements will be written by the lead engineer team working with work

package leaders• ACCSYS Technical Baseline Update

– Procurement of 2013 prototypes restarted after completion– Tunnel design (i.e. stubs)

• ACCSYS Project Baseline Update– Schedule Update– Cost Update

• Lehman-like Review
