Abstract

A single-cell 2856 MHz RF cavity for the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Laboratory South Hall Ring (SHR) has been designed and built at AECL´s Chalk River Laboratories. The SHR is an electron beam storage ring designed to operate with all (1812) RF buckets filled and a circulating current of 80 mA. The RF cavity, designed for CW operation with 10 kW wall dissipation, has a 40 mm diameter beam aperture, on-axis higher-order mode damping and an iris-coupled RF input. This paper describes the cavity RF and mechanical design, the system fabrication and the results of measurements on the completed cavity
