  Our main objective is to achieve as high as possible quality factors Q₀ and maximal accelerating voltages Eacc within 1.3 GHz superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. Beside an adequate surface treatment, key to achieve good performance is a proper assembly in the clean room prior cavity testing or operation. In this contribution we present the methods and results of our efforts to get a better understanding of our clean room environment and the particulate generation caused during the assembly work. Furthermore, we present the measures taken to suppress filed emission, followed by an analysis of vertical test results of the last six years.

  At KEK, new clean work systems including vertical auto cleaning system, replacement system between blank flange and bellows, and robot arm have been developed and installed since 2020 under the collaboration between Japan and France. The main purpose is unmanned and dust-free operation in clean room to avoid performance degradation with field emission in vertical test and cryomodule test. The vertical auto cleaning system and the replacement system between blank flange and bellows have been operated successfully in 2021-2022. Currently, clean work studies related to auto cleaning and assembly is under progress by combining the blank-bellows replacement system and a robot arm. In this report, the recent status of clean works at KEK will be presented.

  For the purpose of cost reduction for the ILC, KEK has been conducting R&D on direct sliced Nb materials such as large grain and medium grain Nb. Single-cell, 3-cell, and 9-cell cavities have been manufactured, and each has demonstrated a high-performance accelerating gradient exceeding 35 MV/m. The results of applying high-Q/high-G recipes, such as two-step baking and furnace baking to these cavities are also shown. Moreover, mechanical tests have been carried out for the beforementioned materials to evaluate their strength for application to the High-Pressure Gas Safety Law. The status of development of these large grain and Medium grain Nb will be presented.

This talk is an overview of the metallographic polishing R&D program covering Niobium and Copper substrates treatment for thin film coating as an alternative fabrication pathway for 1.3 GHz elliptical cavities. The presented research is the result of a collaborative effort between IJCLab, CEA/Irfu, HZB, and KEK in order to develop innovative surface processing and cavity fabrication protocols capable of meeting stringent requirements for SRF surfaces, including the reduction of safety risks and ecological footprint, enhancing reliability, improving the surface roughness, and potentially allowing cost reduction. The research findings will be disclosed.

This article shows a study on an alternative pathway for the fabrication of a complete 1.3 GHz SRF cavity, aiming at improving production reliability, reducing the use of chemical polishing (EP or BCP) which is a costly and safety-critical step, and preserving surface quality after forming. Unlike the conventional pathway, the fabrication process is performed after polishing. This point is crucial as the used polishing technology could be applied only to flat geometries. The performed investigation demonstrates that damages during the fabrication process are considered minor, localized, and limited to the near-surface. Moreover, these studies confirm that the damaged layer (100-200 µm) is mainly caused by the rolling process, and not by the subsequent fabrication steps. A laser confocal microscope and SEM-EBSD technique were used to compare samples before and after forming. The preliminary results are discussed and presented in this paper.

  Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been proposing an accelerator-driven system (ADS) as a future nuclear system to efficiently reduce the high-level radioactive waste generated at nuclear power plants. As the first step toward the full-scale CW proton linac for the JAEA-ADS, we are now prototyping a low-beta (around 0.2) single-spoke cavity. Because there is no experience in manufacturing superconducting spoke cavities in Japan, prototyping and performance testing of the cavity are essential to ensure the feasibility of the JAEA-ADS. The dimensional parameters of the prototype spoke cavity were optimized to obtain higher cavity performance. The actual cavity fabrication started in 2020. Most of the cavity parts were fabricated in fiscal year 2020 by press-forming and machining. In 2021, we started welding the cavity parts together. After investigating the optimum welding conditions using mock-up test pieces, each cavity part was joined with smooth welding beads. Currently, the cavity’s body section and the beam port sections have been assembled. This paper presents the current status of the JAEA-ADS and it’s cavity prototyping.
