Progress and Challenges in Traveling-Wave SRF cavity development at Fermilab

Traveling-wave (TW) technology can push the accelerator field gradient of niobium SRF cavity to 70MV/m or higher beyond the limit of 50~60MV/m in Standing-wave (SW) technology. The early stages of TW SRF cavity developments had been funded by several SBIR grants to Euclid Techlabs and completed in collaboration with Fermilab through a 1-cell prototype and a proof-of-principle 3-cell TW cavity. The TW resonance excitation in the 3-cell TW cavity at 2K was demonstrated through the low power RF test in early 2024. A high-power test of the 3-cell in TW mode being prepared. To advance a design and technology to fabricate a novel high gradient TW SRF cavity, FNAL proposed a half-meter TW RF design and R&Ds to realize that are in progress. Here we will report the recent progress in the 3-cell TW cavity and the challenges towards a half-meter scale TW cavity.

Development of 3-cell Traveling Wave SRF Cavity

Traveling wave SRF cavity is a new technology and requires a multi-stage process for development. Conceptual designs have been proposed to adopt TW resonance in an SRF cavity The early stages of developments have been funded by several SBIR grants to Euclid Techlabs which were completed in collaboration with Fermilab. A 3-cell proof-of-principle TW cavity was fabricated as part of that and demonstrated the TW resonance excitation at room temperature. A TW resonance control tuner for the 3-cell was also fabricated and the preliminary tests were performed. Now, the 3-cell cavity is being processed and prepared for the first cryogenic testing.
