Abstract

CEBAF at Jefferson Lab is in the process of an energy upgrade from 6 GeV to 12 GeV. The existing setup of the RF separator cavities in the 5th pass will not be adequate to extract the 11 GeV beam to any two existing experimental halls (A, B or C) while simultaneously delivering 12 GeV beam to the new hall D. To restore this capability, we are exploring the possibility of using existing normal conducting 499 MHz TEM-type rf separator cavities. Detailed numerical studies suggest that six 2-cell normal conducting structures meet the requirement. Each 2-cell structure will require up to 4 kW RF input power in contrast with the current nominal operating power of 1.0 to 2.0 kW. A high power test at 4 kW confirmed that the cavity can meet the requirement.
