Target of the cryostat R&D in KEK

Strategy of the cryostat R&D

STF-Cryostat Design (1)

Two cryomodules are connected with bellow tubes.– Four cavities designed for 35 MV/m and 45 MV/m are assembled in the

individual cryostat.

– The total length of two cryostats is 13.2 m. • The vacuum vessel of the TESLA TYPE III cryomodule has the length of 11.4 m

including one quadrupole.

STF-Cryostat Design (2)

Design Overview of STF Cryostat

• The design of the cold mass are same as the TESLA TYPE III cryomodule.– Cold mass : support post, gas return pipe, thermal radiation shields (5 K, 80 K), cooling channels– The diameter of the vacuum vessel is 965.2 mm, same as the TESLA cryomodule.

• The helium vessels, frequency tuners and input couplers between the cavities of 35 MV/m and 45 MV/m have different configurations.

• Pressure drop along the system = 2.27 Pa for 10 W, 17.59 Pa for 30W• Temperature at each cavity = 2.000 K for 10/8 W, 2.002 K for 30/8 W

• Gas return pipes (GRP) are connected with the support posts which have the alignment targets.

• The helium vessels for cavities are supported from the GRPs.• The surfaces for the connection are processed by a milling machine with the target precision

of 0.05 mm.

• Thermal radiation shield : aluminum, vacuum vessel : carbon steel (used for magnetic shield)• These components have been delivered from the company (Hitachi) on 24th March.

• The four support posts for the STF-cryomodules have been delivered from INFN Milano on March 3 under the research collaboration between INFN and KEK.

• The support post on the inlet side is fixed to the vacuum vessel, and the other one has a sliding function.

– The position change of the sliding support post by thermal contraction is calculated to be 8.4 mm.

• The cavity helium vessels are hold with sliding supports from the Gas Return Pipes.– The axial positions of the helium vessels are decided by the invar rods.

• Material of helium vessel for the 35 MV/m cavity and the TESLA cavity : Ti– The SUS-Ti junction is being studied for the connection between the cooling channel pipes (SUS) and the

helium vessels (Ti).

• Samples of two types (Hot Isostatic Pressure, Friction Pressure Welding) have been manufactured. Mechanical strength tests have been completed.

– For both methods, the mechanical strength at the junction was almost same as Ti at room temperature.

• Helium leak test at 2 K (super-leak) will be performed next week.

The heat losses of the components in the cryomodule will be estimated by the temperature profile and the FEM calculation.

– Temperature sensors 2K~ 5K (input coupler, helium vessel etc) : Cernox temperature sensor (54 points) 4K ~ 300 K (support post, thermal radiation shield etc) : PtCo temperature sensor

(44 points) > 80K : Copper-Constantan thermo-couple temperature sensor (58 points)

The heat loss of the system at the 2 K region will be measured by the attainable saturated pressure value of the He-II with the pump system.

From the test results of the TESLA cryomodule, the 1st thermal cycle induced the position change of GRP with respect to the original position.
