Review the past one year

• The Hardest and key time was from Apr.06 to Dec.06• West LLRF was used for the horizontal test and the Q0 meas

urement at the test room; All the Q0, both East and West SCC, are higher than the desi

gn target. ( June~Sep. 2006) The first time on the high power test of SCC in China made a

big challenge on the LLRF• LLRF installation 、 cabling 、 and calibration (Mar.~Oct. 200

6)• Commissioning 2 stations of SRF ( Oct.~Nov. 2006 )• The East station join in the beam commissioning ( Nov. 2006)• SR run with only East station ( Dec. 2006 ~ Feb. 2007)• West station was used for the e+ ring commissioning ( Feb. 2007)• Two stations have been used for physic collision run ( Apr. 2007)

During the past one year, 2 LLRF stations have been finished, installation 、 cabling 、 calibration 、 high power test and Q0 measurement 、 commissioning SRF, now e+/e- beam run perfectly.

God and the Double Interlock prevent SRF from damageHigh power INTL: cooling water & wind 、 temperature 、 Klystron & circulator, etc.LLRF INTL: quench 、 arc 、 RF power limitation 、 vacuum 、 cryogenic 、 tuner ，etc.

Calibration Vc by 3 methods• Determine Vc by RF forwarding power P+

R/Q=95.3 QL≈2E+5 P+=13kw →Vc=1MV

• Confirm Vc by RF field inside the SCC

Q15D≈1.09E+11 P15D=90mw → Vc=1MV

• Calibration Vc by synchrotron oscillation frequency

measured result: fs=22.3KHz at Vc=0.6MV

Beam and RF power matched in a typical SR run

Vc oscillation result in the beam trip by LLRF

• 60mA e- lost at Dec.4, 2006 • RF voltage recovered and t

he oscillation disappeared after the beam lost

• Vc=0.6MV, the oscillation period=3ms

• After adjusting the ALC feedback loop parameter, this problem was cured, the beam current can be increased to 200mA in Dec.2006

• This is not the Robinson instability, I still set the cavity frequency detune angle=0 degree till 200mA

First high power test of #2 SCC at June 06

• Apr 29~May 11 finished the room temperature RF aging to coupler 150KW• May 23 purify GHe• May 30 cold down SCC 、 June 7 LHe level=46% 、 June 13 level=95%• June 1~18 LLRF commissioning with Klytron 、 calibration RF power • June 19 LLRF test the frequency tuner and piezo for cavity• June 20 RF aging on the coupler 100kw 、 cavity detune at 4K temperature• June 21 quench protection test 、 tuning the cavity• June 22 detune±1KHz 、 ±450 、 cavity frequency locked 、 measured QL=2.1E

5 • June 23 first reached 1MV 、 calibration Vc 、 RF power 、 setting LLRF loops• June 24 1.2MV 、 measurement Q0=1×109

• June 25 LLRF test the RF pulse aging 、 5 radiation sensors test OK• June 26 Sino-Japan confirmed the safty and the Vc calibration • June 27 1.55MV first quench happened• June 28 1.7MV 、 36.5KW 、 radiation 32mSv/hr• June 29 reached 2MV in the first time• June 30 RF pulse aging , at 2MV measurement Q0=5.4×108

• July 1 measureQ0 at 1.8MV 、 1.5MV 、 1.4MV 、 1.3MV• July 3 warm up the #2 SCC• July 11 #2 SCC reached room temperature

Using LHe consumption to measure Q0

• Function

Vc—RF voltage PC—RF power consumed by the cavity wall Ptotalloss—the whole module heat loss under a Vc Pstaticloss—cryostat heat loss without RF field Pheater—the heater power inside the cryostat • Liquid Helium parameters: at 1.2bar 、 4.2K liquid Helium→Gas potential heat=19.4 KJ/Kg LHe proportion gravity = 122Kg/m3

after closing the input valve, LHe level will be reduced from 96% to 85% within a time

LHe volume vs level = 2.73Liter/1% (roughly)

with a given Vc, to determine the PC by the reducing of the LHe
