Topic : Design and fabrication of Radio Frequency harmonic cavity for electron storage ring

  

 Scope  

                        Synchrotron Light Research Institute (SLRI) operate Siam photon source, which has storage ring to store electron beam for generating synchrotron radiation. There are instabilities affect electron stored in the ring. Using harmonic cavity in storage ring would benefit of curing or reducing these instabilities. Project aims of studying effects of using harmonic cavity to an instabilities of electron beam in storage ring. Physics design of the cavity including the engineering design. Fabrication of the cavity is included in scope of the project. RF properties measurements will be performed together with the RF conditioning of this cavity. Installation and testing inside storage ring is foreseen to include in the project.
                        Tools to be used: the Super Fish code and CST Studio Suite for RF design, Engineering study and design will be done with SolidWorks. RF measuring tools is ready at SLRI.
                        Skill to be built: Candidate will gain skill and knowledge of the RF structure design and microwave engineering. Knowledge about electromagnetic simulation using commercial and/or open access codes, Python and Matlab programing and coding skill will be acquired. In addition, RF and microwave measurements and RF measuring tools experiences and skill will be acquired.
