Why we need high-power tests of the spoke cavity? Ø The spoke LINAC is a low-energy machine and each Me. V is important; Ø Multipacting in cavity coupler is a factor limiting the accelerating gradient; Ø The ESS LINAC is a pulsed machine; Ø Lorentz detuning and mechanical vibrations are expected to be strong; Ø During the pulse the surface resistance can change substantially; Ø The piezo-compensation system has to be tested in a realistic situation. 3

Summary ØThe spoke cavity has never been used in a real operating accelerator; ØThe electroacoustic stability and tuning system of the cavity can be studied only in a high-power test stand; Ø The FREIA group at Uppsala University is building a high-power test stand for studying performance of the ESS spoke cavity; ØThe RF test stand will be able to drive the cavity not only in the selfexcitation mode but also with closed RF loop and fixed frequency; ØThe cavity tuning compensation system will be tested under realistic conditions. 11
