Limitation of cavity performance: Multipacting Resonant exponential increase in electron discharge. Prevents SSR1 from gaining RF power. Dependent on: !

Multipactor Conditioning Analysis Gradual increase of RF power whilst allowing multipacting to progress; / 0 improves. • !

Initial Results: Project aim: Multipactor conditioning data analysis. Relate microscopic behaviour of multipactor to macroscopic parameters. 1. Write a script using C++/ROOT to read data from Acnet. 2. Correlate power loss/energy consumption with radiation emission. 3. Compare with model simulation. Integral of power loss Power loss as a function of time 7 7/12/18 Soniya Samani | Qualification of SSR1 cavities for PIP-II

Summary… • Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP II) • Cavity under analysis: Single Spoke Resonator (SSR1) • Problem: Limitation of cavity performance due to multipacting • Current solution: Multipacting conditioning • My project: Correlate multipactor data with cavity parameters 8 7/12/18 Soniya Samani | Qualification of SSR1 cavities for PIP-II
