Two different vendors supplied the niobium sheet material for PIP-II 5-cell 650 MHz cavities, which was characterized by multiple different ASTM sizes. Cavities subsequently fabricated from these sheets were heat-treated at various temperatures, then the cavities’ flux-expulsion performance was measured. Where the initial measurements of vendor O materials showed that nearly all flux remained trapped despite a high thermal gradient, 900C heat treatment subsequently improved the flux expulsion to an acceptable rate. Understanding and characterizing vendor O materials in this way is key for upcoming and future projects planning to employ niobium sheet from this supplier.

	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.

WEPWB109	PI Loop Resonance Control for the Dark Photon Experiment at 2 K using a 2.6 GHz SRF cavity	847
	C. Contreras-Martinez, B. Giaccone, O.S. Melnychuk, A.V. Netepenko, Y.M. Pischalnikov, S. Posen, V.P. Yakovlev Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois, USA
	Two 2.6 GHz cavities are being used for dark photon search at VTS in FNAL. During testing at 2 K the cavities experience frequency detuning caused by microphonics and slow frequency drifts. The experiment requires that the two cavities have the same frequency within 5 Hz. These two cavities are equipped with frequency tuners consisting of three piezo actuators. The piezo actuators are used for fine-fast frequency tuning. A PI loop utilizing the piezos was used to maintain both cavities at the same frequency, and the results are presented.

WEPWB133	Testing of the 2.6 GHz SRF Cavity Tuner for the Dark Photon Experiment at 2 K	907

	At FNAL two 2.6 GHz SRF cavities are being used to search for dark photons, the experiment can be conducted at 2 K or in a dilution refrigerator. Precise frequency tuning is required for these two cavities so they can be matched in frequency. A cooling capacity constraint on the dilution refrigerator only allows piezo actuators to be part of the design of the 2.6 GHz cavity tuner. The tuner is equipped with three encapsulated piezo that deliver the long- and short-range frequency tuning. Modifications were implemented on the first tuner design due to the low forces on the piezos due to the cavity. Three brass rods with Belleville washers were added to the design to increase the overall force on the piezos. The results at 2 K of testing this tuner with and without the modification will be presented.
