Coupler RF kick and emittance optimization of the SHINE injector

Abstract

Coupler RF kick due to the asymmetric structure caused by the coupler, is more likely to lead to emittance growth in the SHINE injector with low beam energy. The calculation of coupler RF kick and resulting emittance dilution has been studied in detail in the literature. In this paper, a novel approach is provided that a lossy material is placed on the surface of the superconducting cavity to approximate the Q0 of the TESLA cavity, and a frequency solver of CST is used to simulate the electromagnetic field distribution, which is used to calculate coupler RF kick, and calibrated against the results of CST Particle Tracking Studio with a good agreement. In order to minimize the emittance growth of SHINE injector, a 1.3 GHz symmetric twin-coupler cavity is adoped in the single-cavity cryomodule, and the rotational angle and permutation of the 8 cavities in the 8-cavities cryomodule is optimized. Ultimately, the optimized emittance is lower than the design parameter.
