Description
We report the plans for testing a four-cell C-band (5.712 GHz) normal conducting radiofrequency (RF) accelerator cavity at liquid-nitrogen temperature under high accelerating gradient, being prototyped and proposed for the booster linear accelerator (linac) upgrade for the proton radiography (pRad) facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Operating RF structures at cryogenic temperature enhances copper conductivity, enabling higher accelerating gradients and greater RF-to-beam power efficiency. The prototype cavity will be housed inside a cryomodule with foam insulation for both low-power and high-power tests. Pulsed RF power up to 12 MW will be available for the high-power experiment. We also report the engineering and mechanical design of the prototype cavity.
