ON THE DESIGN OF HIGHER ORDER MODE ANTENNAS FOR LCLS II

The upgrade of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS-II) necessitates a major modification to the higher order mode (HOM) antenna of the conventional ILC elliptical 9-cell cavity. Due to the continuous wave nature of the proposed LCLS II Linac, the HOM antenna is required to bare higher RF losses. A modified design of the HOM antenna is presented in this paper ahead with a thorough thermal quench study in comparison with the conventional ILC design.
