Hahn, M. Blaskiewicz, and A. Zaltsman Executive Summary Measured results for the prototype SNS rf cavity were recorded in the BNL/SNS Technical Note No. 115 and were presented at the September ASAC meeting.1 Several stray resonances with impedance values reaching Z / n ≤ 8 Ω suggested the potential for beam instabilities. The rf cavity had been measured within its covering box from which it is dc isolated by ceramic rings. These breaks were suspected as the source of the resonances, and then confirmed by measurements. For the present measurements, the ceramic rings were shorted thereby eliminating most resonances and reducing the longitudinal impedance value to Z / n 1 Ω at frequencies below ~100 MHz. The effect of the rf power supply was simulated by a 1.5 kΩ resistor across the ferrite tuning loop. The shunt impedance to the beam produced by the two-gap cavity is ~ 5.2±0.5 kΩ at the first-harmonic operating frequency. The interpretation of the standard wire measurements with the conventional hp-formula and the log formula is discussed. Coupling Impedance by Wire Measurements The longitudinal coupling impedance of a component is conveniently measured by inserting a wire in the center of the beam pipe to form a coaxial transmission line.
