MOPMB033 | Efforts to Suppress Field Emission in SRF Cavities at KEK | 167 |
|
||
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. | ||

Surface Resistance and Trapped Flux Sensitivity as Function of Baking Temperature | |
|
||
We have investigated the influence of furnace baking at various baking temperatures on Q-value and trapped flux sensitivity. We find that mid-temperature baking is a promising process for obtaining a high Q-value, but it results in a high flux sensitivity. In particular, 300°C baking results in extremely high Q-value and sensitivity. Instead, 250°C baking is found to be a more effective process than 300°C baking for accelerator applications, as it can reach a higher accelerating gradient while keeping a high Q-value and a lower sensitivity. In addition, we find that 200°C baking can reach a higher Q-value at a high accelerating gradient e.g. 35 MV/m compared to 120°C 48 h baking that is applied to the cavity normally. | ||

TUPTB018 | MgB₂ Coating Parameter Optimization Using a 1.3-GHz 1-Cell Cavity | 425 |
|
||
Funding: DOE Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics We have started parameter optimization for the coating of MgB₂ using a 1-cell 1.3-GHz elliptical cavity with holes for small samples. Our coating method is based on a 2-step technique, i.e., coat a B layer by flowing diborane gas in the first step and react it with Mg vapor in the 2nd step. Three 6 mm x 6 mm B-coated flat samples are attached at inlet, outlet beam pipes, and at a cell equator and reacted with Mg vapor with different parameters and conditions. We started to see the superconducting transitions on samples but Tc is still lower than our goal of >35 K. We will present our current status of B-Mg reaction tests and construction of B coating system. |

TUPTB029 | Measurement of Particulates under Slow Pumping after High Pressure Rinsing of Superconducting Cavity by Using Modified Slow Pumping System | 458 |
|
||
Funding: This research was partially supported by the research fund from Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Slow pumping system was used for particle free vacuum pumping in Superconducting rf accelerator. In KEK, recently slow pumping system was developed for the cryomodule assembly work for STF 9-cell cavities and worked well to reduce the particulates movements under pumping. However, this slow pumping system want to be used for preparation of vertical test. Before assembly work in clean room for vertical test, we normally apply high pressure rinsing. There were many waters in the cavity. Therefore, we kept one night to dry inside cavity in clean room. Unfortunately, there were some waters in the cavity even though we kept drying in clean room for one night. This water might make some icing under pumping and stop pumping in mass flow meter, which used for slow pumping to control the mass flow. Therefore, we modify the slow pumping system to be robust under slow pumping even when water exists in the cavity. In this paper, we present the modified slow pumping system in KEK and the results of the vacuum trend through slow pumping of 9-cell superconducting cavity. Under slow pumping, we measure the particulates after high pressure rinsing by using vacuum particle monitor. |

TUPTB030 | Development of Automatic Cleaning and Assembly Systems in Clean Room at KEK | 463 |
|
||
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. | ||

TUPTB049 | Horizontal Test Results of 1.3 GHz Superconducting RF Gun #2 at KEK | 540 |
|
||
Superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) electron guns are attractive for delivery of beams at a high bunch repetition rate with a high accelerating field. KEK has been developing the SRF gun to demonstrate basic performance. The SRF gun consists of 1.3 GHz and 1.5 cell SRF gun cavity and K2CsSb photocathode coated on 2K cathode plug. In the vertical test, the surface peak electric field and the surface peak magnetic field reached to 75 MV/m and 170 mT respectively. The SRF gun was installed to horizontal multipurpose cryostat equipped with a superconducting solenoid, photocathode preparation chamber and beam diagnostic line. The results showed the peak surface electric field degraded to 42 MV/m. We suspect that cavity was contaminated during assembly. In this presentation, we will present the high gradient performance in vertical and horizontal test and individual test for each beam line components. | ||

WEIXA04 | Development of the Directly-Sliced Niobium Material for High Performance SRF Cavities | 634 |
|
||
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. | ||

WEPWB083 | Basic Design and Consideration of Li-Vapor Contamination for A-FNS SRF | 773 |
|
||
The Advanced Fusion Neutron Source (A-FNS) project is in progressing in Japan, QST Rokkasho institute. A-FNS will demonstrate a performance of the DEMO DT fusion reactor material. In order to perform the test, a high intensity deuteron beam accelerator will be used to produce a high flux neutron field which is similar to the 14 MeV DT neutron. The Superconducting Radio-Frequency linear accelerator (SRF) is one component of the A-FNS accelerator system. Although the A-FNS accelerator system design is based on the IFMIF design, the improvement of some subsystem has been considering by taking into account the lessons learnt from the LIPAc project. In order to keep a high stability and availability of the SRF performance, we plan to increase the number of SRF cavities and cryomodules considering the trouble or degradation of the cavity performance and modify the engineering design of some components. In addition, changing of the beam transport line design and Li vapor contamination study of SRF cavity are conducting. In this presentation, the progress of the SRF design and related activities for A-FNS in QST will be presented. | ||

THCAA01 | Development of Single-spoke Cavities for ADS at JAEA | 947 |
|
||
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. | ||
