Combined impedance meeting 21 April 2016

Present: Olav, Francesco, Carolina, Edoardo, Alexej, Hugo, Mario

 

Comments to talk of Francesco

  • Alexej: Laplace theorem cannot be applied in this case if there is a conductor inside.
  • Alexej: cannot say that impedance is obtained with wire. What is obtained is S21 and some formulae are needed to compute back the impedance. New formulae need to be derived.
  • Alexej: interesting results, qualitative view of fields, but how to extract quantitiative results. Not trivial.
  • Alexej: no dipole excitation. Hugo: maybe if look at S41?
  • Method of image charge to get a good matching.
  • Distancebetween wires does matter in the relativecontribution of higher order components with respect to the first order.
  • Alexej: there should be a mutual inductance and mutual capacitance between the two wires. Why a transformer? Talk to Vaccaro.
  • Hugo: measure and simulate in kickers instead of cavity could be more relevant.
  • Usefulness with respect to current methods? Not clear. However interesting to access
  • Next steps: get the formula to recompute the impedance, measure to see if it can work.

Mario and Hugo summarized the MKP strategy meeting that took place yesterday. Main points:

  • Beam induced dynamic pressure rise could be electron cloud as observed to condition with time. Could lose conditioning if replacing again by yet another spare.
  • EM/Thermal simulations in good agreement for reproducing the observed temperature at the ground plate
  • Temperature interlock could be increased by 10C following these simulations since ferrite temperature is simulated to be about 10 to 15C higher from the ground plate temperature.
  • aC coating could be implemented on the ceramic spacer used to apply the serigraphy. Alexej proposed to assess the impact of the coating on impedance.
There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.
