Design of a 325 MHz half wave resonator prototype at IHEP

A 325 MHz β = 0.14 superconducting half-wave resonator prototype has been developed at the Institute of High Energy Physics, Beijing, which can be applied in the low energy section of continuous wave high current proton linear accelerators. The electromagnetic design, multipacting simulation, mechanical optimization and fabrication are introduced in detail. Test results at room temperature and 4.2 K, and a comparison between measured and simulated results, are analyzed in this paper. (authors)
