Design of an Emittance Compensation Superconducting Magnet Package for LCLS-II-HE's SRF Photo-Injector

An SRF photo-injector (low frequency, quarter-wave resonator plus emittance compensation magnet) is planned for LCLS-II-HE as it can provide a higher cathode gradient and better electron beam quality than other types of CW electron guns. The magnet package is located immediately downstream of the SRF cavity, and incorporates a solenoid doublet, bucking coils for reduction of the fringe field, normal/skew quadrupoles and horizontal/vertical dipoles. All the magnets are wound of NbTi wire and operate in liquid helium environment. The solenoid package is located inside the SRF gun cryomodule. Design considerations include space limitations, optimal emittance compensation, the magnetic field limits in the superconducting wire and quench protection. The solenoid coils must provide a peak excitation > 25 kgauss(2)center dot cm, a fringe field < 20 gauss at the wall of the SRF cavity, an integrated dipole field < 90 gauss center dot cm and an integrated quadrupole field < 10 gauss. A genetic algorithm was used to optimize the solenoid design. Correction dipoles and quadrupoles were designed using coil dominated Walstrom style coils.
