Design Study on Medium beta SC Half-Wave Resonator at IMP

A superconducting half-wave resonator has been designed with the frequency of 325 MHz and beta of 0.51. Different geometry parameters and shapes of inner conductors (racetrack, ring-shape and elliptical-shape) were optimized to decrease the peak electromagnetic fields to obtain higher accelerating gradients and minimize the dissipated power on the cavity walls. To suppress the operation frequency shift caused by the helium pressure fluctuations and maximize the tuning ranges, the frequency shifts and mechanical properties were studied on the electric and magnetic areas separately. At the end, the helium vessel was also designed to keep the mechanical structure as robust as possible. The fabrication and test of the prototype will be completed in the beginning of 2016.
