Abstract
Methods and systems for non-invasively tuning dressed multicell cavities. A multicell cavity can be plastically deformed as result of introducing a customized balloon to a cavity and then pressurizing the balloon to a targeted cell while applying a global force on the cavity flanges. The pressurized balloons localize the plastic deformation to the targeted cells using prescribed values of both global force and balloon pressure. Such an approach allows for the tuning of dressed cavities without removal of the helium vessel.

A system for radio frequency tuning of hollow structures, said system comprising:
- at least one pressurized balloon located in at least one targeted cell of a hollow structure of a device having a plurality of hollow structures and a plurality of respective cells, wherein said at least one pressurized balloon is targeted to said at least one targeted cell so as to localize plastic deformation to said at least one targeted cell using prescribed values of global force and balloon pressure with respect to said at least one pressurized balloon, thereby facilitating a noninvasive tuning of said at least one targeted cell of said hollow structure.
A system for radio frequency tuning of hollow structures, said system comprising:
- at least one pressurized balloon located in at least one targeted cell of a hollow structure of a device comprising an SRF cavity for use in a particle accelerator and having a plurality of hollow structures and a plurality of respective cells, wherein said at least one pressurized balloon is targeted to said at least one targeted cell so as to localize plastic deformation to said at least one targeted cell using prescribed values of global force and balloon pressure with respect to said at least one pressurized balloon, thereby facilitating a noninvasive tuning of said at least one targeted cell of said hollow structure.
A method for radio frequency tuning of hollow structures, said method comprising:
- locating at least one pressurized balloon in at least one targeted cell of a hollow structure of a device having a plurality of hollow structures and a plurality of respective cells;
- and
- targeting said at least one pressurized balloon to said at least one targeted cell so as to localize plastic deformation to said at least one targeted cell using prescribed values of global force and balloon pressure with respect to said at least one pressurized balloon, thereby facilitating a noninvasive tuning of said at least one targeted cell of said hollow structure.
