Abstract

A 56 MHz superconducting RF cavity was designed for a luminosity upgrade of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), including requirements for Higher Order Mode (HOM) damping. In this paper, we describe our optimization of the damper's performance, and modifications made to its original design. We also show the effects of the damper geometry on the cavity's HOM impedance. To reduce the likelihood of magnetic breakdown, we lowered the magnetic field enhancement at the ports to a value less than the highest field in the cavity. We simulated all monopole and dipole HOMs up to 1GHz with their frequencies, mode configurations, R/Qs, and shunt impedances, verifying that all modes are well-damped with the optimized design and configuration.
