G. Dauria et al., A NEARLY MONOCHROMATIC CAVITY FOR HIGH-CURRENT STORAGE-RINGS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 329(3), 1993, pp. 393-402
A strong damping of the higher order mode (HOM) spectrum of an RF cavi
ty can be obtained by coupling appropriate waveguides directly to the
cavity. This type of HOM suppression has been investigated at S.T. Aft
er studies and tests on different shapes of cavities, particularly on
bell-shaped cavities, it has been decided to design a pill-box cavity
for the ELETTRA Storage Ring. A prototype of this cavity has been prod
uced with two waveguide suppressors coupled to it. The suppression eff
ect on the HOM spectrum is described along with discussions on the vac
uum window design and on the shape and the material for the waveguide
load. The effects on the accelerating mode are shown as well.
