HOM issues in the ESS SC linac

22 Sept 2011, 08:45 → 23 Sept 2011, 13:00 Europe/Stockholm

Auditorium, 1st floor (European Spallation Source)

Stephen Molloy (ESS)

HOM issues in the ESS SC linac, including discussions on the likely HOM spectrum for each cavity family, beam dynamics issues, coupler design, and the risks/benefits of installing couplers. The output of this meeting will include plans for a program of simulation studies, a program of hardware measurements, possible impacts on the planning of test stands, and input to the CDR.
