Description

It turned out that CM1 of the HIE-ISOLDE project could not reach the designed accelerating field for more than 1 hour due to anomalous heating at the power coupler. We launched a special task force to investigate this unexpected problem and finally got the answer in last December. The summary of this phenomenon and the solution for the nominal acceleration field will be presented.
