Talk

The booming additive manufacturing technology has been used in our daily lives as well as in scientific research. The RACE (Resonators Additively Constructed for Experiments) team initiated by the Stochastic Cooling Group (SCO), GSI, is worldwide one of the first teams working on the application of this technology for the R&D of particle accelerators and storage rings. Additive manufacturing...

14. The peculiar structure of metals built by additive manufacturing and their implication on properties of interest for accelerator science and technology

Talk

The contribution is aimed at discussing the solidification mechanisms of metal parts produced by Additive Manufacturing (AM), especially focussing on Laser Powder Bed Fusion technology (L-PBF). The typical microstructure, surface features and possible defects are analysed to highlight expected differences with respect to part produced by traditional routes.

Our research focuses on exploitation the potential of AM for S- and C-band RF cavities made from pure copper.Prototypes of a 5-cell S-band drift tube resonator and side-coupled cavity cells, commonly used in linac systems for medical and industrial applications, have been successfully additively manufactured. Evaluation of these prototypes reveals that AM cavities perform comparably to...

13. Thoughts on Additive Manufacturing of H-Type DTL components

Ulrich Ratzinger (Goethe - Universität Frankfurt)

Talk

Experience on AM produced accelerator components have been made since quite a few years and the community can now build on the numerous insights and results from these projects. This contribution will draw conclusions with respect to H-mode drift tube structures and make some suggestions for possible next steps. Some related beam dynamics studies will check which drift tube arrays are...
