Ladder resonator: A novel superconducting structure for the very low β part of high current linacs
Abstract
A novel superconducting (sc) structure is proposed, to accelerate a high intensity proton beam within the energy range of 5–20 MeV. The comparison with different sc structures from the point of view of both rf efficiency and technological aspects of manufacture looks promising. Results of M.A.F.I.A. simulations are given.
