MOIAA01 | FRIB Transition to User Operations, Power Ramp Up, and Upgrade Perspectives | 1 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661. After project completion on scope, on cost, and ahead of schedule, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams began operations for scientific users in May of 2022. During the first 12 months of user operations, the FRIB accelerator complex delivered 5250 beam hours, including 1528 hours to nine science experiments conducted with primary beams of 36Ar, 48Ca, 70Zn, 82Se, 124Xe, and 198Pt at beam energies >200 MeV/u; 2724 hours for beam developments, studies, and tuning; and 998 hours to industrial users and non-scientific programs using the FRIB Single Event Effect (FSEE) beam line. The ramp-up to a beam power of 400 kW is planned over a six-year period; 1 kW was delivered for initial user runs from in 2022, and 5 kW was delivered as of February 2023. Upgrade plans include doubling the primary-beam energy to 400 MeV/nucleon for enhanced discovery potential (¿FRIB 400¿). This talk reports on FRIB status and progress since SRF2021, emphasizing lessons learned during the transition from beam commissioning to machine operations, challenges and resolutions for the power ramp-up, progress with accelerator improvements, and R&D for the energy upgrade. |

MOPMB005 | Muon Spin Rotation Studies of Bilayer Superconductors and Low Temperature Baked Niobium | 62 |

Funding: Financial support was provided by an Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Muon spin rotation (muSR) results have shown that vortex penetration into Nb can be delayed up to the superheating field Hsh by a single layer of a material with larger London penetration depth. For low temperature baked (LTB) Nb an increase in the vortex penetration field Hvp has also been observed. While clearly exceeding the lower critical field Hc1, Hvp was found to remain significantly below Hsh for LTB niobium (Superconductor Science and Technology 30 (12), 125012). Further, magnetometry experiments suggested that there is no interface barrier in LTB Nb and that the apparent Hvp increase as observed by muSR was due to surface pinning (Scientific Reports 12 (1), 5522). By varying the implantation depth of ~4.1 MeV muons using moderating foils, new muSR measurements confirm that the apparent Hvp increase in LTB Nb is indeed due to surface pinning, while for a Nb₃Sn/Nb bilayer we find an interface barrier for flux penetration. These results confirm the potential of using superconducting bilayers to achieve a flux free Meissner state up to the superheating field of the substrate. |

MOPMB023 | Magnetic Flux Expulsion in TRIUMF’s Multi-Mode Coaxial Cavities | 135 |

|
||
The external magnetic flux sensitivity of SRF cavities is an important characteristic of SRF accelerator design. Previous studies have shown that n-doped elliptical cavities are very sensitive to external fields, resulting in stringent requirements for residual field and cavity cool-down speed. Few such studies have been done on HWRs and QWRs. The impact of applied field direction and cool-down speed of flux expulsion for these cavities is poorly understood. This study explores the effect of these cool-down characteristics on TRIUMF¿s QWR using COMSOL ® simulations and experimental results. This study seeks to maximize the flux expulsion that occurs when a cavity is cooled down through its superconducting temperature. Flux expulsion is affected by the cool-down speed, temperature gradient, and orientation of the cavity relative to an applied magnetic field. It was found that for a vertically applied magnetic field the cool-down speed and temperature gradient did not have a significant effect on flux expulsion. Contrarily, a horizontal magnetic field can be nearly completely expelled by a fast, high temperature gradient cool-down. | ||

MOPMB038 | Temperature Mapping for Coaxial Cavities at TRIUMF | 183 |
|
||
Temperature mapping (T-map) on superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities has been shown as a useful tool to identify defects and other abnormal sources of losses. So far T-map systems have only been realized for elliptical cavities that have an easily accessible outer surface. TEM mode cavities such as quarterwave and halfwave resonators (QWR, HWR) dissipate most of their power on the inner conductor of the coaxial structure. The limited access and constrained space are a challenge for the design of a temperature mapping system. This paper describes the mechanical and electrical design including the data acquisition of a T-map system for the TRIUMF multi-mode coaxial cavities, and first results are shown. | ||

MOPMB050 | Thermal Feedback in Coaxial SRF Cavities | 224 |
SUSPB020 | use link to see paper's listing under its alternate paper code | |
|
||
Funding: Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada The phenomenon of Q-slope in SRF cavities is caused by a combination of thermal feedback and field-dependent surface resistance. There is currently no commonly accepted model of field-dependent surface resistance, and studies of Q-slope generally treat thermal feedback as a correction to whichever surface resistance model is being used. In the present study, we treat thermal feedback as a distinct physical effect whose effect on Q-slope is calculated using a novel finite-element code. We performed direct measurements of liquid helium pool boiling from niobium surfaces to obtain input parameters for the finite-element code. This code was used to analyze data from TRIUMF’s coaxial test cavity program, which has provided a rich dataset of Q-curves at temperatures between 1.7 K and 4.4 K at five different frequencies. Preliminary results show that thermal feedback makes only a small contribution to Q-slope at temperatures near 4.2 K, but has stronger effects as the bath temperature is lowered. |

MOPMB092 | Performance of Contaminated Superconducting Linac after Vacuum Excursion | 332 |
|
||
ISAC-II superconducting heavy ion linac is the high energy section of TRIUMF ISAC facility to accelerate rare isotopes with A/q <= 6 from 1.5 MeV/u to above the Cou-lomb barrier for experiments. There was a vacuum excur-sion caused by an operational error and the failure of the fast protection system in summer 2022. The beamline downstream to the SC linac was vented with atmosphere air from the experimental hall resulting in pollution of the linac. This paper reports the RF performance of the con-taminated linac. The typical cavity performance changes, the average magnitude of degradation, the impact range in the SC linac, the observations in the recovery processes and the analyses on the most distinct cavity are discussed. The cavity refurbishment in the recent winter shutdown with the observations and outcomes is also reported. The ISAC-II event provided a unique data set for the SRF community. | ||

TUIXA04 | First Results from beta-SRF- Testing SRF Samples at High Parallel Field | 374 |
|
||
The new ¿-SRF facility at TRIUMF has recently been commissioned. A new 1 m extension has been added to an existing ¿-NMR beamline with a large Helmholtz coil to produce fields up to 200 mT parallel to sample surfaces. The ¿-NMR technique allows depth dependent characterization of the local magnetic field in the first 100 nm of the sample surface making the probe ideal for studying Meissner screen- ing in heat treated Niobium or layered SRF materials. First measurements of Meissner screening at fields up to 200 mT have been analyzed. The results show clear differences in the Meissner screening of baseline treatments compared to mid-T baked (O-doped) Niobium. | ||
