Tuners • Mechanical setups • Lorentz Force Detuning System Setup Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

• Tuner consists of 2 parts – Slow tuner • Allow for different thermal shrinkage • Correct slow drifts e. g. He pressure • Specification: – Range: 820 k. Hz – Resolution: 1 Hz /step • 2 basic types have been tested – Lateral (Saclay) – Coaxial (INFN, DESY) – Fast tuner • Compensate Lorentz-forces – df <= 1 k. Hz in 1 ms • Piezoelectric Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY- Frequency Tuner

Lateral Tuner Design by M. Maurier and P. Leconte based of the MACSE tuner design w • Used in TTF L scre ty s L cavi L arm (Saclay) – Double lever system: ratio ~ 1/17 – Stepping motor with Harmonic Drive gear box – Screw – nut system • Needs space between cavities • Interferes with HOM couplers • More compact design seems feasible

New Saclay Tuner • Design by P. Bosland • More compact design possible • Cavity should be pre-tuned so that the tuner is not pushing • Piezo integrated • Available by the end of the year for first tests Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Coaxial Tuner (INFN, DESY) • On the He vessel • Tested on the superstructure in TTF (4 units) • Magnetic shielding more difficult • 2 nd design exists – Test in CHECHIA done Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Frequency stabilization Blue: With piezo Red: Without piezo during RF pulse using a Frequency detuning of 500 Hz piezoelectric tuner compensated voltage pulse (~100 V) on the piezo. No resonant compensation Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Option: Resonant excitation of a mechanical cavity resonance • if one excites a mechanical resonance of a cavity with the piezo, one can use the cavity as an mechanical amplifier, so that a small stroke of the active element can compensate large detuning • we have shown that with the excitation of three periods of the mechanical resonance frequency, about 1000 Hz could be compensated Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Resonant excitation (stable for 200 hours) Pulse Parameters: frequency = 219 Hz time shift = -9. 5 ms amplitude = 24 V offset = 24 V Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Resonant excitation Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Frequency stabilization at 35 MV/m Blue: With piezo Red: Without piezo Frequency detuning of ~1000 Hz compensated with resonant excitation of a mechanical cavity resonance at 230 Hz. NOTE: This is rather an demonstration of the capability of active tuning. Application in a real machine is probably difficult/ impossible. Needs investigation. Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Module Measurements Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Single Piezo - Single Pulse Compensation • inside the module • f=200 Hz, only 100 Hz compensation Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Single Piezo - Resonant Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Problems with the active tuner • Fundamental problem: – Preload at operating temperature not defined – Large tuning needed for both cavities tested in CHECHIA (AC 72, AC 73) • ´natural´ frequency after tank welding is 780 k. Hz above 1, 3 GHz • Normally this is more like 200 -300 k. Hz – This results in a very large force tearing on the piezo fixture • Fixtures open up and piezos become loose Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Force Measurement at the Piezo Position • Design by Karsten Gadow (H 1) – Available before end of the year • Detailed measurement of the force in the cold environment – Calibration will be first done to liquid nitrogen temperatures • Then design a fixture with sufficient stiffness Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Problems with active tuning • Single Piezo fixture – So far only 100 -200 Hz compensated (no resonant excitation of the cavity) – Achieved compensation at 1, 3 GHz – Alternative: Resonant mechanical excitation of the cavity • Double Piezo fixture – Has only been operated at 1, 3 GHz + 600 k. Hz – Needs a stiffer design – Alternative: Put 2 single Piezo fixtures at different posts of the tuner • Bipolar operation of Piezos helps in any case – Check in CHECHIA and INFN Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Fixture Twist Problem Fixture twists during operation Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

Problems with active tuning • Automation is needed for operation of the piezos in the machine – Determination of optimum pulse shape – Interconnection to LLRF system Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-

• Proof-of-principle Conclusion – Single-piezo » Non-resonant: 100 Hz in the module » Resonant: 200 Hz in the module » (We can use this in module 6!) – Double-piezo » Non-resonant: 400 Hz (not at 1. 3 GHz exact) » Resonant: 1 k. Hz – Test of bipolar operation • Engeneering is needed – Choice of Piezo (-> together with INFN, IPN Orsay)) – Stiffer Piezo fixture/frame for 2 Piezos » Force measurement is underway (finished end 2004? ) – LLRF integration • New Saclay tuner tests needed – Available end 2004 / beginning 2005 – Change of cavity pre-tuning desirable Lutz Lilje DESY -MPY-
