MAGCOOL: the production cooling facility for ISABELLE magnets

The ISABELLE proton accelerator uses over one thousand superconducting magnets to guide the particle beams in two circular rings, 3.8 km in circumference. Prior to their installation in the tunnel all magnets must be tested and measured at their 3.8 K operating temperature. This paper describes the refrigeration system, called MAGCOOL, to accomplish this task.

Cryogenic distribution system for the first cell

The ISABELLE refrigeration system utilizes compressed liquid helium to supply refrigeration to nearly 1100 superconducting bending and focusing magnets. These magnets steer the proton orbits of the accelerator and are arranged into two interlocking rings. The cryogenic distribution system that is used to transmit the helium cooling from the central refrigerator to the superconducting magnets makes up a substantial portion (34%) of the total heat load that the refrigerator must be capable of sup… more

Design of 24. 8-kW, 3. 8 K cryogenic system for ISABELLE

ISABELLE will consist of two proton accelerator/storage rings in a common tunnel. There will be 1084 superconducting magnets installed in the 3.8 km circumference tunnel. The protons will be accelerated to an energy of 400 GeV in each ring and stored for 24 hours. The two beams are counter-rotating and intersect at six places around the ring. The particles which emerge from proton interactions at these intersecting points are studied using various types of detectors.

Helium Refrigeration System for BNL Colliding-Beam Accelerator

A Helium Refrigeration System which will supply the cooling required for the Colliding Beam Accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory is under construction. Testing of the compressor system is scheduled for late 1983 and will be followed by refrigerator acceptance tests in 1984. The refrigerator has a design capacity of 24.8 kW at a temperature level near 4% while simultaneously producing 55 kW for heat shield loads at 55K. When completed, the helium refrigerator will be the world's largest… more

An R.F. Input Coupler System for the CEBAF Energy Upgrade Cryomodule

Long term plans for CEBAF at Jefferson Lab call for achieving 12 GeV in the middle of the next decade and 24 GeV after 2010. Thus an upgraded cryomodule to more than double the present voltage is under development. A new waveguide coupler system has been designed and prototypes are currently being developed. This coupler, unlike the original, has a nominal Q{_}ext of 2.1 x 10{sup 7}, reduced sensitivity of Q{_}ext to mechanical deformation, reduced field asymmetry within the beam envelope, free… more

Advances in DC photocathode electron guns

At Jefferson Lab, a DC photoemission gun using GaAs and GaAs-like cathodes provides a source of polarized electrons for the main accelerator. The gun is required to produce high average current with long operational lifetimes and high system throughout. Recent work has shown that careful control of the parameters affecting cathode lifetime lead to dramatic improvements in source operation. These conditions include vacuum and the related effect of ion backbombardment, and precise control of all … more

Design of the SNS Cavity Support Structure

The Spallation Neutron Source facility utilizes a superconducting linac to provide a l-GeV H- beam with an average power of 2MW. A critical part of the accelerator structure is the superconducting radio frequency (SRF) niobium cavities which are housed in a titanium liquid helium pressure vessel. These vessels maintain the operating temperature of 2.1 Kelvin while facilitating the mechanical support, tuning and alignment of the SRF cavities. The design, fabrication and operation of the supercon… more

Vertical-channel free convection with a power-law fluid

A finite-difference solution is presented of the velocity and temperature fields for the flow of an Ostwald-de-Waele (power law) fluid between two vertical isothermal parallel plates under the influence of free convection. Two quantities are of particular interest: the total heat transferred from the plates and the average velocity between the plates. Although these quantities can be presented in a dimensionless manner as related to the generalized Grashof and Prandtl numbers, there is an impor… more

Design of the FRIB Cryomodule

An advanced, modular bottom-supported cryomodule design is described which is highly optimized for mass-production and efficient precision-assembly. The FRIB driver linac uses 4 types of superconducting resonators and 2 solenoid lengths which in turn require 7 individual cryomodule configurations. To meet alignment tolerances a precision-machined bolted cryomodule rail system is described. A novel, kinematic mounting system of the cold mass is introduced which allows for thermal contractions wh… more

Jefferson Lab CEBAF energy upgrade plans

This paper presents interim conceptual plans for upgrading the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility to extend Jefferson Lab's world leadership in nuclear physics research. The CEBAF accelerator was designed in the mid-1980's to provide beams of electrons at an energy of 4 GeV (billion electron volts) for use as probes of the atom's nucleus in CEBAF's three experiment halls. As of early 1999, the accelerator exceeds its desig… more

Transient response of a thermal buffer: a study for ISABELLE

Operation of the superconducting magnets in ISABELLE may necessitate rapid cooldown and warmup from ambient (300K) to liquid helium temperature (3K) to meet the requirements of the experimental program. Similarly, unprogrammed temperature excursions can also occur due to operator error or equipment malfunction. The coal bore tube of the magnets has a small mass relative to the more massive iron laminations and the stainless steel support tube. In addition the magnet coil, in thermal contact wit… more

Trace impurity analyzer

The desirability for long-term reliability of large scale helium refrigerator systems used on superconducting accelerator magnets has necessitated detection of impurities to levels of a few ppM. An analyzer that measures trace impurity levels of condensable contaminants in concentrations of less than a ppM in 15 atm of He is described. The instrument makes use of the desorption temperature at an indicated pressure of the various impurities to determine the type of contaminant. The pressure rise… more

A load-locked gun for the Jefferson Lab polarized injector

Construction is underway at Jefferson Lab on a load-locked polarized electron source. The design incorporates all of the essential features of the existing non load-locked gun and improves on the designs of existing load-locked guns operating at other labs. When complete, the authors expect the new load-locked gun to enhance the versatility of the JLAB polarized injector.

Alignment of CEBAF cryomodules

CEBAF, the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility, when completed, will house a 4 GeV recirculating accelerator. Each of the accelerator`s two linacs contains 160 superconducting radio frequency (SRF) 1497 MHz niobium cavities in 20 cryomodules. Alignments of the cavities within the cryomodule with respect to beam axis is critical to achieving the optimum accelerator performance. This paper discusses the rationale for the current specification on cavity mechanical alignment: 2 mrad (rms)… more

Testing Procedures and Results of the Prototype Fundamental Power Coupler for the Spallation Neutron Source

High-power RF testing with peak power in excess of 500 kW has been performed on prototype Fundamental Power Couplers (FPC) for the Spallation Neutron Source superconducting (SNS) cavities. The testing followed the development of procedures for cleaning, assembling and preparing the FPC for installation in the test stand. The qualification of the couplers has occurred for the time being only in a limited set of conditions (travelling wave, 20 pps) as the available RF system and control instrumen… more

Heat-load measurement of prototype cryogenic magnets and leads for the ISABELLE project

A major feature in the cryogenic system development program for ISABELLE is the measurement of the heat loads of prototypical hardware. In particular, superconducting magnet assemblies, magnet power leads and magnet power lead vessels have been measured. In each of these cases it has been possible to build equipment which has a heat load equal to or less than the allowance for it in the heat load budget.
