Cavity Status
• EP setup works, but the first EF was not satisfactory– ~ 13 lbs of copper removed– 40.6 in3 removed (0.32 lb/in3)– Cavity interior surface area: ~ 4700 in2
– Average thickness removed: 8.6 mils (219 microns)– Amounts to 3.4% to 5.0% of the initial thickness– Green crystals developed due to the saturated solution– Un-even surface and hard to clean away Mechanical cleaning again (over last weekend)
• 2nd EP under way– New solution– New chiller to cool the electrode– More cautiously
• Expect the cavity at MTA next month (July 2005)

Cavity Development in UK
• Recent development in UK (K. Long, Graham Gosling)– Cavity fabrication of the RFCC-module
• 1st meeting in June 15, 2005– Exchange ideas and information for
cavity fabrication and future development
– More meetings in the future (?)Tuner and mounting ideas

RF Power
Two couplers
Load Two Couplers (ready!)─ Critical coupling─ Ceramic windows are integrated
in the couplers─ Design and built at LBNL ─ Conditioning started using 805
MHz RF power at the SNS ─ Good vacuum ~ low 10-8 T─ Achieved 600 kW in TW mode
(matched load)─ Achieved 10 kW average power (~
9 kW average for nominal NF parameters)
─ Achieved 2.4 MW peak power in SW mode (at variable short positions)
─ Ceramic windows work fine during two weeks of the RF conditioning

Curved Be Windows
• Succeeded in two curved Be windows so far for the 201-MHz cavity
• The windows are
0.38 mm thick, 420 mm diameter
• RF heating ~100 watts per window with ∆T~ 55 degrees for nominal Study-II parameters
• Window is formed by applying a die at elevated temperature
• Copper frame is brazed to Be window
• Be windows will be Ti-N coated shortly
• Asymmetry RF heating
420 mm
Curved-in window experiences 40% more RF heating than the one that curved-out- Small changes respect to overall RF power dissipation on the cavity - FEA (in collaboration with Oxford group) indicates the window should still work

Support Stand/Manual Tuner
•Manual tuner consists of thick aluminum plates connected by adjustable struts
•Tuner allows cavity frequency adjustment while providing support for interior vacuum load
•Parts for tuner fabricated in U. of Miss. Shop, and now at J-Lab
•Support stand attaches to one tuner plate and allows cavity to be placed adjacent to MTA magnet
Support design and construction have completed, now at J-Lab

High Power Test at MTA
Plans under way– Coordination among LBNL, J-Lab, ANL and FNAL– Diagnostics (identified in last MICE meeting in Berkeley)– Preliminary plan so far
> In situ assembly of couplers, vacuum pump and gauges> Power splitter (Tee) at 6” coaxial transmission lines> Transitions to 4” coaxial lines with elbows to the couplers> Ti-N coated flat copper windows
> In situ baking (choices: hot N2 or water)
> Low power RF measurement of frequency and Q> Coupling balance and adjustment> Calibration of RF probes> Conditioning without magnetic field first
– Suggestions are very welcome
