Description

To reduce the footprint and construction costs of RF accelerators, there is a growing interest in operating at ultra‑high radio frequencies in the range of 0.3–3 GHz. At these frequencies, the longitudinal and transverse dimensions of accelerating structures shrink significantly, complicating the fabrication of intricate geometries and intensifying cooling challenges caused by high RF power densities. Metal additive manufacturing offers a promising solution by enabling the efficient realization of complex accelerator components while providing greater design flexibility to enhance overall performance. This paper focuses on the development of next-generation ultra-high-frequency accelerators and presents key results and highlights from ongoing metal additive manufacturing projects at GSI.
