Superconducting booster module using quarter wave resonators
Abstract
A superconducting booster module has been recently installed at the Weizmann Institute of Science. The module consists of four β0 = 0.095 quarter wave resonators housed in a cylindrical vertical cryostat. Additional components of the system are a chopper buncher, control electronics and a helium refrigerator. The booster resonators have been operated continuously at a field gradient of 3 MV/m, providing a total accelerating voltage of 2 MeV/charge. Oxygen and carbon beams have been accelerated, and the module is being used in nuclear physics experiments.
