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.

Medium Temperature baking of low beta 650 MHz cavities was conducted in a UHV furnace. A systematic study of cavity surface resistance components, residual and BCS, was conducted, including analyzing surface resistance due to trapped magnetic flux. Cavities showed an average 4.5 nano-ohm surface resistance at 17 MV/m under 2 K, which meets PIP-II specifications with a 40% margin. The results provided helpful information for the PIP-II project to optimize the cavity processing recipe for cryomodule application. The results were compared to the 1.3 GHz cavity that received a similar furnace baking.

  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.

  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.
