  A 218 MHz quarter wave niobium cavity has been fabricated for the purpose of demonstrating Nb₃Sn technology on a low-beta accelerator cavity. Niobium-tin has been established as a promising next generation SRF material, but development has focused primarily in high-beta elliptical cell cavities. This material has a significantly higher TC than niobium, allowing for design of higher frequency quarter wave cavities (that are subsequently smaller) as well as for significantly lowered cooling requirements (possibly leading to cryocooler based de-signs). The fabrication, initial cold testing, and Nb₃Sn coating are discussed as well as test plans and details of future applications.

  Electropolishing (EP) of 1.3 GHz niobium (Nb) superconducting RF cavities is conducted to achieve a desired smooth and contaminant-free surface that yields good RF performance. Achieving a smooth surface of a large-sized elliptical cavity with the standard EP conditions was found to be challenging. This work aimed to conduct a systematic parametric EP study to understand the effects of various EP parameters on the surface of 650 MHz cavities used in PIP-II linac. Parameters optimized in this study provided a smooth surface of the cavities. The electropolished cavities met the baseline requirement of field gradient and qualified for further surface treatment to improve the cavity quality factor.

Michigan State University is pursuing SRF R&D for FRIB400 upgrade, doubling the FRIB linac beam energy (400 MeV/u for the heaviest uranium beam) using ßopt=0.65 644 MHz 5-cell elliptical cavities. We have achieved unprecedented Q₀ in this cavity class, Q₀ = 3.5·1010 at Eacc of 17.5 MV/m in a nitrogen-doped bare niobium cavity in collaboration with FNAL and ANL. The next missions are achieving such high Q₀ in jacketed cavities and in cryomodules, achieving field-emission free performance at Epeak of 40 MV/m with reproducibility, developing a compact two-window high-power fundamental power coupler (15 kW CW), and achieving stable resonance control of cavities integrated with tuners in cryomodules. In this talk, we will present progress of the SRF R&D and discuss future plan.
