Accelerating structures in linear and circular accelerators • Acceleration cavity (cavity) • Analogy between oscillating circuit and cavity • Cylindrical cavity • Shunt impedance and quality factor 2
Acceleration in the cylindrical cavity. T=0 (accelerating phase) (100 MHz) 2 a z E(z) E 0 g z 3
Linear and circular accelerators Linear accelerator: Acceleration by traveling once through many RF Circular accelerator: Acceleration by travelling many times through few RF cavities 4
Analogy between cavity and oscillating circuit C L R A simple RF accelerator would work with a capacitor (with an opening for the beam) and a coil in parallel to the capacitor. The energy oscillates between electric and magnetic field. L R 5
Analogy between cavity and oscillating circuit Oscillating circuit with capacitor, coil and resistance. C L R 6
For a frequency of 100 MHz, a typical value for an accelerator, the inductance of the coil and the capacity of the condenser must be chosen very small. Example:
From oscillating circuit to the cavity C C L L The fields in the cavity oscillate in TM 010 mode (no longitudinal magnetic field). There an infinite number of oscilllation modes, but only a few are used for cavities (calculation from Maxwells equations, application for waveguides, for example K. Wille) 8
Parameter of a cylindrical cavity („pill-box“) 2 a z A cylindrical cavity with the length of g, the aperture 2*a and the field of E(t) g 9
