Abstract

Replacement of the normal conducting 28 MHz accelerating cavities in the RHIC ringwith superconducting structures offers a number of advantages for the machine operation,including reduction of the number of cavities required and lower impedance. A prototypefolded quarter wave structure has been constructed at Niowave, Inc. to meet this need. Thisnovel cavity geometry achieves the very low resonant frequency required with a relativelycompact structure, and can provide the large tuning range required (∼1% of the cavityfrequency). Results of the cavity fabrication are presented along with room temperature RFmeasurements.
