Description
Superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities represent a key technology for modern particle accelerators. In high-current energy recovery linac (ERL) facilities, suppressing higher-order modes (HOMs) is critical to ensure beam stability and minimize additional cryogenic heat loads. This work introduces a waveguide-based scheme to extract and damp harmful HOMs excited by intense beams. A systematic RF design and optimization procedure for this waveguide damping method is presented. By implementing the damping scheme into a single-cell cavity geometry, consistent HOM suppression is achieved while maintaining good properties for the fundamental accelerating mode. The single-cell waveguide HOM-damping cavity, adopting the TESLA shape with an enlarged beam pipe, is currently under fabrication and will be tested in cryogenic experiments.
