RF Measurements of a CH Power Prototype for the FAIR Proton Linac — •Robert Brodhage1, Gianluigi Clemente1, Wolfgang Vinzenz1, Markus Vossberg1, and Ulrich Ratzinger2 — 1GSI, Darmstadt — 2IAP, Uni Frankfurt
For the research program with cooled antiprotons at FAIR a dedicated 70 MeV, 70 mA proton injector is required. The main acceleration of this room temperature linac will be provided by six CH cavities operated at 325 MHz. Within the last years, the assembly and tuning of the first power prototype was finished. The cavity was tested with a preliminary aluminum drift tube structure, which was used for precise frequency and field tuning. Afterwards, the final drift tube structure has been welded inside the main tanks and the galvanic copper plating has taken place at GSI workshops. This paper will report on the main tuning and commissioning steps towards that novel type of DTL and it will show the latest results gained during copper plating and assembly. Final low level RF tests have been performed on the prototype which will show the performance and capability of the CH cavities.
