MICE RF Cavity Design

•3-D Microwave Studio RF parameterized model including ports and curved Be windows to simulate frequency, Epeak, etc.

•Frequencies variation between cavities should be within 100 kHz

•Approach–Slightly modify prototype cavity diameter

–Target a higher cavity frequency–Tune cavities close to design frequency by deformation of cavity body (if needed)

–Tuners operate in the push-in mode only lower frequency

accommodates different windows

Cavity FEA Analysis• RF, thermal and

structural cavity analyses carried out using a single ANSYS model

• The thermal solution provides the temperature distribution throughout the cavity and Be window

• Heat fluxes on inward curving windows are 60% higher than for outward curving windows (with correspondingly higher T)

• Peak temperature occurs at center of inwardly curved beryllium window (86 ºC) using “Nominal Neutrino Factory” parameters (MICE is 4 times lower)

•Tuners touch cavity and apply loads only at the stiffener rings

•Tuners operate in “push” mode only (i.e. squeezing)

•Tuning automatically achieved through a feedback loop

•Soft connection only (bellows) between tuner/actuators and vacuum vessel shell

•Six tuners are spaced evenly every 60º around cavity

•Clocking of tuner position between adjacent cavities avoids interference

•No contact between pairs of close packed cavities

Cavity Support: Hexapod Strut System

Example of a hexapod stage

•Dedicated six-strut hexapod system for each cavity will provide kinematic support

•This system spreads the cavity weight across several struts

•Strut arrangement provides stiff and accurate cavity support

•Kinematic mounts prevent high cavity stresses due to thermal distortion and over-constraint
