Abstract :
The design for the superconducting cavities of the high-energy accelerator for the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) project has been extensively changed in the last two years. The original accelerator design incorporated 0.48 and 0.71 beta cavities with stiffeners, and a stainless-steel helium vessel. Today, the accelerator uses unstiffened 0.64 and 0.82 beta cavities, and a titanium helium vessel. This paper discusses the design process, including the supporting analyses, prototype cavities built, and the decisions made to support the current design. The design of the integrated cavity-helium vessel is presented. Future plans and testing for design validation are also discussed
