Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Compact Proton Accelerator in Uhf Band at Kahvelab(JACoW Publishing, 2022) Esen, S.; Adıgüzel, A.; Koçer, O.; Çağlar, A.; Çelebi, E.; Öz, S.; Özcan, V.E.; Karatay, Anıl; Yaman, Fatih; Yılmaz, Hasan ÖnderProton Test Beam at KAHVELab (Kandilli Detector, Accelerator and Instrumentation Laboratory) project aims to design and produce a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) operating at 800 MHz in Istanbul, Turkey using the local resources. The beamline consists of a proton source, a low energy beam transport (LEBT) line including the beam diagnostic section and the RFQ cavity itself. This RFQ is 4-vane, 1-meter-long cavity to accelerate the 20 keV beam extracted from plasma ion source to 2 MeV. Its engineering prototype is already produced and subjected to mechanical, low power RF and vacuum tests. In this study, the results of the first test production, especially the bead-pull test setup will be discussed. © 2022 Proceedings - Linear Accelerator Conference, LINAC.

Accordingly, a mechanical angular scanning feature for tracking multi-targets and the system integration of lightweight microstrip structures are realized for the radar. A narrow beamwidth in the receiver and a well impedance matching on the overall system to reduce return losses are achieved for the considered application. Good agreements between simulations and measurements for the fabricated antennas/divider and a successful integration of the antennas to the existing system for finding a moving target angular location is reported. It is shown that through wall identification and target velocity at scanned regions can be obtained with the proposed hardware configuration. Simulation results of antenna parameters for various number of array elements are listed which could be a useful tool for different engineering applications. (C) 2019 Elsevier GmbH.

A high-beta, 9-cell elliptical cavity, whose pi-mode resonates at 3.9 GHz, is designed to investigate imperfections. The considered frequency is chosen to observe variations of fundamental accelerating cavity parameters, wake potentials, and wake impedances more clearly by using relatively small structures. Moreover, 3-cell elliptical cavities having pi-mode at 2 and 3.9 GHz are designed to confirm the 9-cell cavity results. The undesired effects caused by the considered mechanical imperfections are simulated for an ultra-relativistic bunch in the parameter scope of a realistic scenario. In particular, Huray's snowball model, which is a scattering-based surface roughness approach developed for microstrip lines, is employed to determine the effects of the surface roughness on the accelerator cavities. Surface roughness due to the fabrication process is expressed as a surface impedance, and the required equivalence between the surface roughness and surface impedance concept is achieved. Significant computational efficiency is observed by using the surface impedance concept with Huray's snowball model in the simulations. Experimental verification of certain parameters is included for an elliptical cavity having high cell-to-cell coupling at 3.9 GHz.
