58. Additive-Manufactured RACE Cavity R&D, Experimental Validation, and Beyond: Future Roadmap

Chuan Zhang (GSI)

19/10/2026, 09:00

This talk presents the development history, experimental validation, and future roadmap of the 704.4 MHz RACE Crossbar H-mode (CH) accelerator cavity, fabricated using additive manufacturing (AM) technology. Following successful fabrication, the cavity underwent comprehensive experimental evaluations, including vacuum testing, low-level RF measurements, and high-power conditioning, all of...

41. RF Characterization and Beam Measurements with Additively Manufactured Fast Faraday Cups

In the early stages of heavy-ion accelerator chains, sub-nanosecond bunches with velocities between roughly 1% and 20% of the speed of light are produced, demanding longitudinal diagnostics with GHz-scale temporal resolution. Fast Faraday Cups (FFCs) are used to measure the longitudinal charge distribution of such bunches. Their design must simultaneously mitigate pre-field effects and...

51. Design and Preparation of an Additively Manufactured 1.3 GHz Copper Cavity for High-Gradient Testing

Hermann Winter

A compact continuous-wave (CW) 1.3 GHz linear accelerator (linac) is being developed as the core component of a pulsed positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) setup. Since conventional manufacturing limits the thermal management required for CW operation of radio-frequency (RF) cavities, pure-copper laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/Cu) is used to fabricate monolithic cavities with...
