  Field emission caused by microscopic particulate contamination is a limiting factor for the performance of superconducting RF (SRF) cavities. In an SRF accelerator, particulates may be transported over the surface of an operational SRF cavity, becoming field emitters and consequentially degrading the performance of the SRF cavity. The most commonly used method for removing particulates from cavity surfaces is high-pressure ultra-pure water rinsing. We are developing a novel high-pressure liquid nitrogen cleaning technique that may possibly enable superior cleaning power and particulate removal from cavities in a cryomodule without taking apart the cryomodule components. This technique provides cleaning mechanisms beyond what are accessible by its high-pressure water counterpart and leaves no residues on the cleaned surface. We present the test setup and first experience.

  The FREIA Laboratory at Uppsala University, Sweden, has completed the evaluation of 13 double-spoke cavity cryomodules for ESS. This is the first time double-spoke cavities will be deployed in a real machine. This paper summarizes testing procedures and statistics of the results and lessons learned.
