Normal conducting cavities are typically used in the front end of proton accelerators to get the beam accelerated to velocities approximately a few tenths of the speed of light, where superconducting cavities can then be used to accelerate the beam to the speed of light. The warm part of a typical proton accelerator would contain a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) and several buncher cavities. The RF heating in normal conducting cavities was successfully modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics® for several resonant structures. For the RFQ results demonstrated, the projected frequency shift that could happen due to thermal stresses, which is a vital factor for proper operation of the whole RFQ structure, is basically fine-tuned through water temperature.
