However, the long-term operation of SC radio-frequency (RF) cavities leads an increase in the X-ray levels caused by field emissions resulting from changes in the inner surface conditions. More than half of the ten SC 1/4 wavelength resonators (SC-QWRs) of SRILAC, operating at a frequency of 73 MHz, have experienced an increase in X-ray levels, thus, requiring adjustments to the acceleration voltage for continuous operation. While several conditioning methods have been employed for SC cavities, a fully established technique is yet to be determined. To address this situation, a relatively simple conditioning method was implemented at RIKEN. The proposed method uses high-voltage pulsed power and imposes a low load on the cavities.}}, }
