TI - Commissioning of Dedicated Furnace for Nb₃Sn Coatings of 2.6 GHz Single Cell Cavities J2 - Proc. of SRF2023, Grand Rapids, MI, USA, 25-30 June 2023 CY - Grand Rapids, MI, USA T2 - International Conference on RF Superconductivity T3 - 21 LA - english AB - We present the results of commissioning a dedicated furnace for Nb₃Sn coatings of 2.6GHz single cell cavities. Nb₃Sn is a desired coating due to its high critical temperature and smaller surface resistance compared to bulk Nb. Usage of Nb₃Sn coated cavities will greatly reduce operating costs due to its higher operating temperature providing decreased cooling costs. Tin is deposited in the bulk Nb cavity by use of a tin chloride nucleation agent and tin vapor diffusion. Analysis of the resultant coating was performed using SEM/EDS to verify successful formation of desired Nb:Sn phase. Witness samples located in line of sight of the source were analyzed in order to understand the coating efficacy. The cavity’s performance was assessed in the Vertical Test Stand (VTS) at Fermilab.
