Based on the positive results of the 0.63 m unmodulated 325 MHz Ladder-RFQ prototype from 2013 to 2016 [1, 2], a modulated 3.3m Ladder-RFQ (s. Fig. 1) has been designed and built for the acceleration of up to 100 mA protons from 95 keV to 3.0 MeV at the FAIR p-Linac [3, 4]. In this paper, we will show the results of manufacturing as well as low level RF measurements of the Ladder-RFQ including flatness and frequency tuning.
This work is focused on the anomalous skin effect in copper and how it affects the efficiency of copper-cavities in the temperature range 40-50 K. The quality factor Q of three coaxial cavities was measured over the temperature range from 10 K to room temperature in the experiment. The three coaxial cavities have the same structure, but different lengths, which correspond to resonant frequencies: around 100 MHz, 220 MHz and 340 MHz. Furthermore, the effects of copper-plating and additional baking in the vacuum oven on the quality factor Q are studied in the experiment. The motivation is to check the feasibility of an efficient, pulsed, ion linac, operated at cryogenic temperatures.
