The fundamental power coupler and pick-up of the 56 MHz SRF cavity for RHIC

A fundamental power coupler (FPC) is designed to provide fast tuning the 56MHz SRF cavity in RHIC. The FPC will be inserted from one of the chemical cleaning ports at the rear end of the cavity with magnetic coupling to the RF field. The size and the location of the FPC are decided based on the required operational external Q of the cavity. The cavity is beam driven, and the FPC is designed with variable coupling that would cover a range of power levels. It is thermally isolated from the base temperature of the cavity, which is 4.2K. A 1kW power amplifier will be used to close an amplitude control feedback loop. In this paper, we discuss the coupling factor of the FPC with the chosen design.
