Description

Since the commissioning of the EuXFEL free electron laser, one of the 784 superconducting cavities of the linac has a short circuit at the probe connector. For this reason, its signal cannot be used for field regulation. Instead, the signal coming from a high order mode (HOM) coupler antenna is included in the vector sum regulation. This cavity shows a direct impact on the beam arrival time profile along the bunch train. In this work, limitations and operational solutions are described.
