Abstract

The 704 MHz SRF gun for the BNL Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) prototype uses twofundamental power couplers (FPCs) to deliver up to 1 MW of CW RF power to the half-cellcavity. To prepare the couplers for highpower RF service and process multipacting, the FPCsshould be conditioned prior to installation into the gun cryomodule. A room-temperaturetest stand was configured for conditioning FPCs in full reflection regime with varied phaseof the reflecting wave. The FPCs have been conditioned up to 250 kW in pulse mode and 125kW in CW mode. The multipacting simulations were carried out with Track3P code developed atSLAC. The simulations matched the experimental results very well. This paper presents theFPC RF and thermal design, multipacting simulations and conditioning of the BNL gun FPCs.
