Title:     Half-Wave Resonators for Heavy Ion Linear Accelerators

Abstract: Advanced heavy ion/rare isotope accelerators present very different challenges compared to traditional electron and proton machines. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) project has therefore required research and development of new technologies and techniques to solve these problems in a timely and practical manner. While the low-energy section of this linear accelerator uses more traditional superconducting Quarter-Wave Resonators (QWRs), it was decided to use two different types of superconducting Half-Wave Resonators (HWRs) for the high-energy accelerating section. The HWRs have been the focus of an intensive design and optimization effort, with five of the higher beta HWRs having been recently prototyped and tested with promising results. A brief overview of the FRIB project and its use of HWRs will be presented. Additionally, the design progress, testing results, and challenges encountered will be discussed, including future prototyping and testing plans.
