CLASSE NEWS | 23 Jul 2014
We are pleased to announce that Cornell graduate student Daniel Hall has been awarded the best student poster prize at the 2014 International Workshop on High Order Modes held at Fermilab.
Daniel's poster on beam-based measurements of Cornell's ERL 7-cell cavity show both that the High Order Mode (HOM) loads are capable of sustaining the operation at 100 mA in an Energy Recovery Linac and that the HOMs present in the prototype cavity are highly unlikely to cause beam breakup via ERL-loop feedback. These measurements are critical in qualifying the cavity for use in the the proposed Cornell Energy Recovery Linac, which must be capable of operating with a continuous beam current of 100 mA at 2 picoseconds of beam bunch length. The results presented at the workshop held at Fermilab demonstrate that the construction of such a machine is now immediately achievable thanks to the research and development efforts at Cornell.
Daniel Hall is nearing the end of his 2nd year of PhD studies with the SRF group. His advisor is Matthias Liepe.
