HOM COUPLERS FOR CERN SPL CAVITIES
2013
Higher-Order-Modes (HOMs) may affect beam stability and refrigeration requirements of superconducting proton linacs such as the SPL, which is studied at CERN as the driver for future neutrino facilities. In order to limit beaminduced HOM effects, CERN considers the use of HOM couplers on the cut-off tubes of the 5-cell superconducting cavities. These couplers consist of resonant antennas shaped as loops or probes, which are designed to couple to modes of a specioc frequency range. In this paper the design process is presented and a comparison is made between variousdesign options for the medium and high-beta SPL cavities, both operating at 704. 4M Hz. The RF characteristics and thermal behaviour of the various designs are discussed.
