Among the EIC¿s numerous RF subsystems, the electron storage ring¿s (ESR) 591 MHz fundamental RF system is one of the most challenging. Each cavity in the system will handle up to 2.5 A of beam current and supply up to 600 kW beam power under a wide range of voltage. The EIC R&D plan includes the design, fabrication and testing of such a cavity. In this paper, we will report the latest status and findings of the ongoing design and prototyping of this cavity, including the RF and mechanical/thermal design, fabrication design, and the progress of fabrication.

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), with a range of center-of-mass energies from 20 to 140 GeV, will enable experimental nuclear physics in the gluon-dominated regime with luminosity up to 1034 cm2 per second. The project chose to employ SRF technology for several accelerating and crab cavity geometries used throughout the accelerator complex to achieve the EIC¿s energy and luminosity goals. This presentation will review the current status of the EIC, the SRF technology used in the accelerator complex and current status of SRF R&D. The discussion will share EIC’s fundamental high-power coupler design & performance, high-power HOM power handling hardware, SRF elliptical and crab cavity designs and recent experimental results.

After the success of designing a compact 1 MeV, 1 MW accelerator based on conduction-cooled SRF, Jefferson Lab is now pursuing a concept to provide a tenfold increase of the beam energy. The higher energy significantly extends the range of applications for environmental remediation and industry in general. The obvious challenge for SRF is to move from a single-cell to a multicell cavity while maintaining high efficiency and the ability to operate the machine without a complex cryogenic plant. The contribution presents the latest results of this design study with respect to its centerpiece, a Nb₃Sn coated 915 MHz five-cell cavity and its corresponding RF components, i.e. FPC and HOM absorber, as well as the conduction-cooling concept based on commercially available cryocoolers.

A wide range of electron beam energies (5 ¿ 18 GeV) and beam currents (0.2 ¿ 2.5 A) in EIC Electron Storage Ring (ESR) operating scenarios requires a capability of adjusting coupling factor up to a factor of 20 for the 591 MHz Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities, which contains two fundamental power couplers (FPC) delivering continuous wave (CW) 800 kW RF power to the beam. Currently, adjusting external Q of a SRF cavity is done by varying protrusion of FPC¿s inner conductor in beam pipe or using three stub tuner to adjust external Q value, which either has limit on tuning range or limit on operating power. This paper presents a method of tuning the FPC external Q by a multiple-waveguide tuner, which allows for high power, wide tuning range operations. The theoretical model of matching beam impedance with waveguide tuner and detailed matching conditions and limits will be presented. Follow the theoretical model, a preliminary design of a 3D waveguide tuner will be presented.
