5. A TUNING PROCEDURE FOR THE LIBO MODULE 85<br />

Figure 5.14. The bead pulling result after the bridge<br />

couplers tuning.<br />

to have the design values for the frequencies, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>, more important,<br />

to have the frequencies <strong>of</strong> the coupling cells perfectly equals. This<br />

is important, because any difference in the coupling cells <strong>of</strong> a bridge<br />

coupler produces a step in the electric field <strong>of</strong> the adjacent tanks.<br />

5.2. Bead pulling measurement. The first bead pulling <strong>of</strong> the<br />

whole structure gave the result shown in figure 5.14. The figure shows<br />

the normalized level <strong>of</strong> the squared electric field in all the accelerating<br />

cavities; the space between two cavities represents the coupling cells.<br />

The space between two tanks is the <strong>on</strong>e <strong>of</strong> the bridge coupler which is<br />

out <strong>of</strong> axis <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> the bead does not pass through its cells.<br />

It is worth noting again that for the tuning procedure it is interesting<br />

<strong>on</strong>ly the relative levels between the tanks <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> not the absolute<br />

values, since this procedure is made at a low power level.<br />

For the measurement <strong>of</strong> figure 5.14, the π/2 frequency was 2996.99 MHz.<br />

Taking into account all the variati<strong>on</strong>s due to the real c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s 12 , the<br />

goal frequency should be 2997.10 MHz. The quality factor value was<br />

around 4500 which is a good value, but still far from the final 7200,<br />

this was due to the imperfect joints between the tanks <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> the bridge<br />

couplers, since they were not brazed together yet.<br />

Also, in that c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> from a frequency measurement, it<br />

was possible to evaluate the stop-b<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>of</strong> the sec<strong>on</strong>d nearest modes<br />

which was SBB = +216 kHz. This stop-b<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> is related to the bumplike<br />

behavior in the resp<strong>on</strong>se <strong>of</strong> bead pulling measurement, its presence<br />

means that the sec<strong>on</strong>d nearest modes in the dispersi<strong>on</strong> diagram are<br />

excited <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> the behavior for these modes is just as a bump, having a<br />

minimum for the field (maximum) in the central bridge coupler cavity<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> a maximum field in the end cells (minimum).<br />
