TUPTB001 | Demonstration of Niobium Tin in 218 MHz Low-Beta Quarter Wave Accelerator Cavity | 388 |
|
||
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. | ||

TUPTB002 | Modelling Trapped Flux in Niobium | 393 |
SUSPB017 | use link to see paper's listing under its alternate paper code | |
|
||
Detailed measurements of magnetic flux dynamics and trapped magnetic flux in niobium samples were conducted with a new experimental setup that permits precise control of the cooldown parameters. With this setup the dependency of trapped flux on the temperature gradient, external magnetic field, and cooldown rate can be mapped out in more detail compared to cavity measurements. We have obtained unexpected results, and an existing model describing trapped flux in dependence of temperature gradient does not agree with the measured data. Therefore, a new model is developed which describes the magnitude of trapped flux in dependence of the temperature gradient across the sample during cooldown. The model describes the amount of trapped flux lines with help of a density distribution function of the pinning forces of pinning centers and the thermal force which can de-pin flux lines from pinning centers. The model shows good agreement with the measured data and correctly predicts trapped flux at different external flux densities. | ||

Funding: This manuscript has been authored by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics. 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. |

TUPTB004 | Progress on Zirconium-Doped Niobium Surfaces | 398 |
|
||
Funding: This work was supported by the NSF under Award PHY-1549132, the Center for Bright Beams, and in part by CNF (NSF Grant NNCI-2025233), and in part by CCMR (DMR-1719875). The first experimental studies of zirconium-doped surfaces verified that zirconium can enhance the critical temperature of the surface, resulting in a lower BCS resistance than standard-recipe niobium. However, they also produced a disordered oxide layer, resulting in a higher residual resistance than standard-recipe niobium. Here, we show that zirconium-doped surfaces can grow well-behaved thin oxide layers, with a very thin ternary suboxide capped by a passivating ZrO2 surface. The elimination of niobium pentoxide may allow zirconium-doped surfaces to achieve low residual resistance. |

TUPTB006 | Materials Design for Superconducting RF Cavities: Electroplating Sn, Zr, and Au onto Nb and and Chemical Vapor Deposition | 401 |
|
||
Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Award PHY-1549132, the Center for Bright Beams. Materials scientists seek to contribute to the development of next-generation superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) accelerating cavities. Here, we summarize our achievements and learnings in designing advanced SRF materials and surfaces, including Nb₃Sn [1¿3], ZrNb(CO) [4, 5], and Au/Nb surface design [6,7]. Our efforts involve electrochemical synthesis, phase transformation, and surface chemistry, which are closely coupled with superconducting properties, SRF performance, and engineering considerations. We develop electrochemical processes for Sn, Zr, and Au on the Nb surface, an essential step in our investigation for producing high-quality Nb₃Sn, ZrNb(CO), and Au/Nb structures. Additionally, we design a custom chemical vapor deposition system to offer additional growth options. Notably, we find the second-phase NbC formation in ZrNb(CO) and in ultra-high-vacuum baked or nitrogen-processed Nb. We also identify low-dielectric-loss ZrO2 on Nb and NbZr(CO) surfaces. These advancements provide materials science approaches dealing with fundamental and technical challenges to build high-performance, multi-scale, robust SRF cavities for particle accelerators and quantum applications. |

TUPTB010 | Preservation of the High Quality Factor and Accelerating Gradient of Nb₃Sn-Coated Cavity During Pair Assembly | 405 |
|
||
Funding: This manuscript has been authored by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics. Two CEBAF 5-cell accelerator cavities have been coated with Nb₃Sn film using the vapor diffusion technique. One cavity was coated in the Jefferson Lab Nb₃Sn cavity coating system, and the other in the Fermilab Nb₃Sn coating system. Both cavities were measured at 4 K and 2 K in the vertical dewar test in each lab and then assembled into a cavity pair at Jefferson Lab. Previous attempts to assemble Nb₃Sn cavities into a cavity pair degraded the superconducting properties of Nb₃Sn-coated cavities. This contribution discusses the efforts to identify and mitigate the pair assembly challenges and will present the results of the vertical tests before and after pair assembly. Notably, one of the cavities reached the highest gradient above 80 mT in the vertical test after the pair assembly. |

TUPTB013 | Commissioning of a New Sample Test Cavity for Rapid RF Characterization of SRF Materials | 410 |
|
||
RaSTA, the Rapid Superconductor Test Apparatus, is a new sample test cavity that is currently being commissioned at HZB. It uses the established QPR sample geometry but with a much smaller cylindrical cavity operating in the TM020 mode at 4.8 GHz. Its compact design allows for smaller cryogenic test stands and reduced turnaround time, enabling iterative measurement campaigns for thin film R&D. Using the same calorimetric measurement technique as known from the QPR allows direct measurements of the residual resistance. We report first prototype results obtained from a niobium sample that demonstrate the capabilities of the system. | ||

TUPTB016 | Summary of the FRIB Electropolishing Facility Design and Commissioning, Cavity Processing, and Cavity Test Results | 419 |
|
||
Funding: U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics and used resources of the FRIB, which is a DOE Office of Science User Facility, under Award Number DE-SC0000661. Recently, a new Electropolishing (EP) facility was con-structed and commissioned at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beam (FRIB) with the purpose of supporting advanced surface processing techniques for SRF R&D activities. The FRIB production cavities opted for a Buffered Chemical Polish (BCP) method due to its cost effectiveness and was supported by successful outcomes in other facilities with low beta cavities in a similar frequency range. All 324 cavities used in FRIB Linac were processed in-house at MSU using BCP and exhibited satisfactory performance during testing. As part of the FRIB energy upgrade R&D, 5-cell 644 MHz elliptical resonators will be employed, desiring the use of EP and advanced techniques such as nitrogen doping and medium-T baking. The EP facility is designed to accommodate all types of cavities used in FRIB and possesses the capability for performing EP at low temperatures. Here we report the details of design and commissioning of the EP facility, highlights of encountered issues and subsequent improvements, and preliminary results from vertical tests conducted on the cavities. |

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. |

TUPTB019 | First Results from Nb₃Sn Coatings of 2.6 GHz Nb SRF Cavities Using DC Cylindrical Magnetron Sputtering System | 429 |
SUSPB047 | use link to see paper's listing under its alternate paper code | |

Funding: Supported by DOE, Office of Accelerator R&D and Production, Contact No. DE-SC0022284, with partial support by DOE, Office of Nuclear Physics DE-AC05-06OR23177, Early Career Award to G. Eremeev. A DC cylindrical magnetron sputtering system has been commissioned and operated to deposit Nb₃Sn onto 2.6 GHz Nb SRF cavities. After optimizing the deposition conditions in a mock-up cavity, Nb-Sn films are deposited first on flat samples by multilayer sequential sputtering of Nb and Sn, and later annealed at 950 °C for 3 hours. X-ray diffraction of the films showed multiple peaks for the Nb₃Sn phase and Nb (substrate). No peaks from any Nb-Sn compound other than Nb₃Sn were detected. Later three 2.6 GHz Nb SRF cavities are coated with ~1 µm thick Nb₃Sn. The first Nb₃Sn coated cavity reached close to Eacc = 8 MV/m, demonstrating a quality factor Q₀ of 3.2 × 108 at Tbath = 4.4 K and Eacc = 5 MV/m, about a factor of three higher than that of Nb at this temperature. Q₀ was close to 1.1 × 109, dominated by the residual resistance, at 2 K and Eacc = 5 MV/m. The Nb₃Sn coated cavities demonstrated Tc in the range of 17.9 ¿ 18 K. Here we present the commissioning experience, system optimization, and the first results from the Nb₃Sn fabrication on flat samples and SRF cavities. |

TUPTB020 | Surface Properties and RF Performance of Vapor Diffused Nb₃Sn on Nb after Sequential Anneals below 1000 °C | 433 |
|
||
Nb₃Sn is a next-generation superconducting material that can be used for future superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) accelerator cavities, promising better performance, cost reduction, and higher operating temperature than Nb. The Sn vapor diffusion method is currently the most preferred and successful technique to coat niobium cavities with Nb₃Sn. Among post-coating treatments to optimize the coating quality, higher temperature annealing without Sn is known to degrade Nb₃Sn because of Sn loss. We have investigated Nb₃Sn/Nb samples briefly annealed at 800-1000 °C, for 10 and 20 minutes to potentially improve the surface to enhance the performance of Nb₃Sn-coated cavities. Following the sample studies, a coated single-cell cavity was sequentially annealed at 900 °C and tested its performance each time, improving the cavity’s quality factor relatively. This paper summarizes the sample studies and discusses the RF test results from sequentially annealed SRF Nb₃Sn/Nb cavity. | ||

TUPTB024 | Cobotisation of ESS Cryomodule Assembly at CEA | 438 |
|
||
The assembly of cavity string in the clean room is a tedious work that has noisy and painful steps such as cleaning the taped holes of a part. CEA together with the company INGELIANCE has developed a cobot: a collaborative robot operated by an technician one time and repeating the action without the operator. The cobot can work anytime without any operators : therefore it is working at night reducing the assembly duration by some hours. The cobot consists of a FANUC CRX10 a 6-axis arm on an Arvis cart. At CEA, the cobot is used to blow the flange holes of the cavities and bellows. This allows to reduce the noisy steps that the technicians are exposed to. The process is also more reproducible since the cobot does always the same steps. The cobot is used on ESS cavity string to clean the coupler and cavity flanges. Our activities and results will be presented in this poster. | ||

TUPTB025 | Preparation of the Assembly of the 650 MHz Low Beta Cryomodules for the PIP-II Linear Accelerator | 442 |
|
||
The Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) that will be installed at Fermilab is the first U.S. accelerator project that will have significant contributions from international partners. CEA¿s scope covers the supply of the 650 MHz low-beta cryomodule sections with the cavities provided by LASA-INFN (Italy) and VECC-DAE (India) as well as the power couplers supplied by Fermilab. This scope includes the assembly of the 650 MHz low-beta cryomodules. Assembly studies have been conducted based on CEA experience acquired on previous projects as well as on the feedback of Fermilab on the assembly of the HB650 prototype cryomodule. This paper presents the organization of assembly phases from the cavity string in the clean room and the assembly of the cryostat to the preparation of the cryomodule before its shipment to Fermilab. | ||

TUPTB026 | Measurements of High Values of Dielectric Permittivity Using Transmission Lines | 447 |
|
||
Funding: DOE Usage of lossy materials is necessary for absorption of higher order modes excited in the RF cavities. Presently, measurements of lossy materials with usage of transmission lines give errors rapidly increasing with increase of the dielectric permittivity. A method is presented for measurements of high values of dielectric permittivity epsilon in a waveguide at high frequencies with lower errors. This method supplements the method of measurements evolved for low values of epsilon and is close to resonant methods, when a sample is placed into a cavity and the measurement is done at one only frequency. The new approach with use of Microwave Studio simulations makes possible to measure this value in several frequency points at one measurement. |

TUPTB027 | Cleanroom Assembly of the LIPAc Cryomodule | 452 |
|
||
In complement to the development activities for fusion reactors (JT-60SA & ITER), Fusion for Energy contributes to the R&D for material characterisation facilities. LIPAc is the technical demonstrator for the production and acceleration of a D+ beam that will be used for neutron production by nuclear stripping reaction on a liquid Li target. Since its first beam in 2014, the LIPAc construction and commissioning continues and will be concluded with the cryomodule installation, aiming for beam validation at nominal power. The cryomodule assembly, started in March 2019, was paused due to welding issues on the solenoid bellows. The slow pumping group used for the cleanroom assembly also needed improvement to overcome helium contamination. Two and half years were devoted to the pumping improvement and, repair, cold tests and high pressure rinsing of the solenoids. In August 2022, the cleanroom assembly resumed with the mounting of all power couplers to the SRF cavities. Despite good progress, the assembly had to be paused again to fix leaks on different vacuum components and a solenoid BPM port. This paper presents the issues faced and their solutions along the cold mass assembly. | ||

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. |

TUPTB031 | Operational Consideration in the LIPAc SRF with Potential Solenoid Failure Modes | 467 |
|
||
The commissioning of LIPAc (Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator) is ongoing at Rokkasho institute of QST for the engineering validation of the accelerator system up to 9 MeV/125 mA. Several SRF cryomodules will be required for IFMIF to accelerate deuterons from 5 MeV to 40 MeV. The prototype of the first of these cryomodules has been manufactured and will be installed and tested on the LIPAc. It holds the eight HWRs (Half Wave Resonator) and RF couplers to accelerate the beam and the eight superconducting solenoids to focus it. During the solenoid HPR process, carried out after fixing welding issues on the solenoid beam line bellows, some concerns appeared about the integrity of two solenoids. The examination with CT scanning of the solenoids revealed that one screw and a few pins had leaved their socket. Although it should be no critical problem, we tried the beam simulation with PIC code TraceWin to determine the location of solenoids whose impact will be minimized to manage in case of failure of solenoid as mitigation action. This paper presents the recommended locations of the suspicious solenoids in the cryomodule and resultant beam conditions through the beam dynamics study. | ||

TUPTB033 | On the Way to a 10 MeV, Conduction-Cooled, Compact SRF Accelerator | 471 |
|
||
Funding: The presentation has been authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. After the success of designing a compact 1 MeV, 1 MW accelerator based on conduction-cooled SRF, Jefferson Lab is now pursuing a concept to provide a tenfold increase of the beam energy. The higher energy significantly extends the range of applications for environmental remediation and industry in general. The obvious challenge for SRF is to move from a single-cell to a multicell cavity while maintaining high efficiency and the ability to operate the machine without a complex cryogenic plant. The contribution presents the latest results of this design study with respect to its centerpiece, a Nb₃Sn coated 915 MHz five-cell cavity and its corresponding RF components, i.e. FPC and HOM absorber, as well as the conduction-cooling concept based on commercially available cryocoolers. |

TUPTB035 | Design, Fabrication, and Test of a 175 MHz, β = 0.18, Half Wave Resonator for the IFMIF-DONES SRF-Linac | 477 |
|
||
The IFMIF-DONES facility will serve as a fusion-like neutron source for the assessment of materials damage in future fusion reactors. The neutron flux will be generated by the interaction between the lithium curtain and the deuteron beam from an RF linear accelerator at 40 MeV and nominal CW current of 125 mA. The last accelerating stage is a superconducting (SRF) Linac hosting five cryomodules. This SRF-Linac is equipped of two types of 175 MHz half wave superconducting cavities (HWRs). The first type of cavities (cryomodules 1 and 2), characterized by beta equal to 0.11, have been studied and qualified in the frame of IFMIF/EVEDA project. The development of the second type of cavities (cryomodules 3, 4 and 5), with higher beta of 0.18 is presented in this paper. A prototype has been designed, fabricated and tested in a vertical cryostat at CEA. The measured quality factor at nominal accelerating field (4.5 MV/m) is 2.3 109 and keeps higher than 109 up to 10 MV/m, which gives confidence in the cavity design and preparation to reach the expected performances after integration in the SRF linac. | ||

TUPTB036 | Equidistant Optimization of Elliptical SRF Standing Wave Cavities | 480 |
|
||
A record accelerating rate was achieved earlier in standing wave (SW) SRF cavities when their shape was optimized for lower peak surface magnetic field. In view of new materials with higher limiting magnetic fields, expected for SRF cavities, in the first line Nb₃Sn, the approach to optimization of cavity shape should be revised. A method of equidistant optimization, offered earlier for traveling wave cavities is applied to SW cavities. It is shown here that without limitation by magnetic field, the maximal accelerating rate is defined to a significant degree by the cavity shape. For example, for a cavity with the aperture radius Ra = 35 mm the minimal ratio of the peak surface electric field to the accelerating rate is about Epk/Eacc = 1.54. So, with the maximal surface field experimentally achieved Epk ¿ 125 MV/m, the maximal achievable accelerating rate is about 80 MeV/m even if there are no restrictions by the magnetic field. Another opportunity ¿ optimization for a low magnetic field, is opening for the same material, Nb₃Sn, with the purpose to have a high quality factor and increased accelerating rate that can be used for industrial linacs. | ||

TUPTB037 | Refurbishment and Reactivation of a Niobium Retort Furnace at DESY | 485 |
|
||
Funding: This work was supported by the Helmholtz Association within the topic Accelerator Research and Development (ARD) of the Matter and Technologies (MT) Program. For research in the field of heat treatments of supercon-ducting cavities, a niobium ultra-high vacuum furnace built in 1992 - originally used for the titanization of 1.3 GHz nine-cell cavities - and later shut down was recently refurbished and reactivated. A significant upgrade is the ability to run the furnace in partial pressure mode with nitrogen. The furnace is connected directly to the ISO4 area of the clean room for cavity handling. At room temperature vacuum values of around 3×10-8 mbar are achieved. The revision included the replacement of the complete control system and a partial renewal of the pump technology. The internal mounting structures are optimized for single-cell operation including tandem operation (two single-cell cavities at once) and corresponding accessories such as witness-samples and caps for the cavities. The installation of additional thermocouples for a detailed monitoring of the temperature curves is also possible at the mounting structure. Due to the furnace design, its location and the strict routines in handling, very high purity levels are achieved in comparison to similar setups and hence provide a mighty tool for SRF cavity R&D at DESY. |

TUPTB038 | Novel Approaches in Characterization and Modelling of Fabrication Processes for SRF Components | 490 |
|
||
In the past years, Finite Element Methods have been increasingly applied at CERN, with the aim of modelling fabrication processes for SRF components. Currently, many large deformation processes such as deep drawing, forging, hydroforming, and spinning, are being simulat-ed. Taking the initial trials out of the workshop via simu-lation has proven very efficient for steering fabrication strategy, avoiding unnecessary trials, and helping to re-duce time and costs. This contribution will present a novel approach for studying fabrication process feasibil-ity and failure prediction using numerical tools, based on the Forming Limit Diagram method, developed for OFE copper sheets. This contribution will show the applica-tion of the mentioned method on the study of tubular hydroforming, as an alternative way to produce seamless elliptical RF cavities. Analysis of past hydroforming trials is also discussed, together with the comparison of different fabrication strategies. | ||

TUPTB039 | Simulation of High Pressure Rinse in Superconducting Radio Frequency Cavities | 496 |
|
||
Funding: U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics. Resources of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, a DOE Office of Science User Facility, under Award Number DE-SC0000661. The finish of radio frequency (RF) surfaces inside superconducting RF (SRF) cavities is of utmost importance as it dictates ultimate cavity performance. After the cavity surfaces have undergone chemical etching, polishing, and hydrogen degassing, the final step in surface preparation involves cleaning using a high pressure rinse (HPR) with ultra-high purity water (UPW) to remove any residue from the previous chemical processes. The complex surface geometry of cavities poses difficulties in achieving effective and thorough HPR cleaning. This study introduces a versatile simulation tool created in MATLAB, which has the potential to be applied to various SRF cavities. The detail of the algorithm used and nozzle and motion setup will be described using an FRIB 0.53 half wave resonator (HWR) cavity as an example. |

TUPTB041 | Visual, Optical and Replica Inspections: Surface Preparation of 650 MHz Nb Cavity for PIP-II Linac | 507 |
|
||
Surface preparation of niobium superconducting RF cavities is a critical step for achieving good RF performance under the superconducting state. Surface defect, roughness, and contamination affect the accelerating gradient and quality factor of the cavities. We report surface inspection methods used to control the surface processing of 650 MHz cavities that will be used in the pre-production cryomodule for PIP-II linac. The cavity surface was routinely inspected visually, with an optical camera, and by microscopic scanning of surface replicas. This article covers details on the surface inspection methods and surface polishing process used to repair the surface. | ||

TUPTB042 | Latest Development of Electropolishing Optimization for 650 MHz Cavity | 512 |
|
||
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. | ||

TUPTB044 | Compact Multicell Superconducting Crab Cavity for ILC | 521 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory; managed by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DEAC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy We propose a novel design of a deflecting cavity for the ILC project with low parasitic HOM losses and preserving the beam emittance, which is critical for operation with high beam current intensity. Multiple electrodes immersed in the hollow waveguide form a trapped-mode resonator. The transverse components of the electromagnetic field of the trapped dipole mode induce a transverse kick and efficiently deflect charged particles passing through the cavity. We present a scalable design of a superconducting Quasi-waveguide Multicell Resonator (QMiR) seamlessly connected with a beam vacuum chamber. The cavity is completely open at both ends, which significantly reduces the maximum loaded quality factor of the higher order modes (HOM), avoids complex HOM couplers and thus simplifies the mechanical design of the cavity. The same port is used to feed RF power to the operating mode and to extract the same order modes (SOM). Finally, we estimate the expected cryogenic losses, HOM impedance limits, RF input power required, and frequency tuning for a QMiR cavity designed to operate at 2.6 GHz. |

TUPTB046 | Development and Performance of RFD Crab Cavity Prototypes for HL-LHC AUP | 531 |
|
||
Funding: Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. DOE The US will be contributing to the HL-LHC upgrade at CERN with the fabrication and qualification of RFD crabbing cavities in the framework of the HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project (AUP) managed by Fermilab. AUP received Critical Decision 3 (CD-3) approval by DOE in December 2020 launching the project into the production phase. The electro-magnetic design of the cavity was inherited from the LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP) but needed to be revised to meet new project requirements and to prevent issues encountered during beam tests performed at CERN in the R&D phase. Two prototype cavities were manufactured in industry and cold tested. Challenges specific to the RFD cavity were the stringent interface tolerances, the pole symmetry and the higher-order-mode impedance spectrum. Chemical processing and heat treatments were performed initially at FNAL/ANL and are now being transferred to industry for the production phase. HOM dampers are manufactured and validated by JLAB. A summary of cold test results with and without HOM dampers is presented. |

Funding: This manuscript has been authored by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics. The 650 MHz cavities have a stronger requirement of niobium mechanical properties because of the geometric shape of the cavity due to reduced beta. The mechanical property of the niobium half-cell was measured following various heat treatments. The 5-cell cavities were tested in a controlled drop test fashion and the real-world road test. The result showed that the 900C heat treatment was compatible with cavity handling and transportation during production. The test provides the bases of the transportation specification and shipping container design guidelines. |

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. | ||

TUPTB052 | A Novel Manufacture of Niobium SRF Cavities by Cold Spray | 545 |
|
||
Cold spray is a lower-temperature solid-state thermal spray process that deposits metal powder using a heated inert gas through a supersonic nozzle. When the material hits at supersonic speed and reaches the critical speed, the particles themselves are plastically deformed to form a film. The material of the superconducting cavity is niobium, a very expensive rare metal. To reduce the amount of niobium and the cost, we propose a novel manufacturing method of forming a thick niobium film on the surface of a mandrel by cold spray using niobium powder and removing the mandrel to finish a hollow shape. We confirmed the feasibility of the proposed method using a model similar to a 3.9 GHz one-cell cavity. Also, the RRR measurement of the niobium specimen made by cold spray was carried out and the measured value of 11 was obtained. We report on these results. | ||

Field emission (FE) is a key limiting phenomenon in SRF cavities. An algorithm exploiting a self-consistent model of cavity FE has been developed. This method exploits experimental observables (such as Q value , X-ray endpoint, and dose rate) to reconstruct emitter position and size as well as the field enhancement factor. To demonstrate the model effectiveness, the algorithm has been applied to a data set of the PIP-II LB650 prototype cavity. | ||

TUPTB062 | RF Measurements of the 3rd Harmonic Superconducting Cavity for a Bunch Lengthening | 565 |
|
||
The brightness can be increased by minimizing the emittance in the light source, but the reduced emittance also increases the number of collisions of electrons in the beam bunch. Therefore, the bunch lengthening by using the 3rd harmonic cavity reduces the collisions of electrons and increases the Touschek lifetime. Since the resonant frequency of the main RF cavity is 500 MHz, the resonant frequency of 3rd harmonic cavity is selected as 1500 MHz. The prototype cavity is a passive type in which a power coupler is not used, and power is supplied from the beam. The operating temperature is 4.5 K, which is a superconducting cavity. The elliptical double-cell geometry was selected to increase the accelerating voltage of the cavity and reduce power losses. Based on this design, three niobium cavities are fabricated and tested. In this paper, we present the RF measurement results of the 3rd harmonic cavity at room temperature.

TUPTB067 | Fabrication and Surface Treatment of Superconducting Rf Single Spoke Cavities for the Myrrha Project | 578 |
|

The MYRRHA project, based at SCK•CEN (Belgium), aims at coupling a 600 MeV proton accelerator to a subcritical fission core with a maximal output of 100 MWth. The first phase of the project, MINERVA, includes the design, construction, and commissioning of a 100 MeV superconducting RF linac in order to demonstrate the machine requirements in terms of reliability and fault tolerance. The MINERVA linac comprises several cryomodules, each containing two Single Spoke 352.2 MHz cavities made out of high RRR niobium and operating at 2K. The fabrication and surface treatment of the Single Spoke RF Cavities is currently ongoing and completely carried out by RI Research Instruments GmbH (Germany); the first pre-series cavities were completed and delivered for cold testing. Main highlights of the fabrication include the deep-drawing of complex shapes, such as central spokes and outer caps of the cavity, which was successfully accomplished. As for the surface treatment, RI has commissioned, tested, and effectively started utilizing a new rotational buffered chemical polishing facility; this is required to polish the cavity inner surface, while ensuring an almost uniform material removal. | ||

TUPTB068 | EIC 197 MHz Crab Cavity RF Optimization | 584 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE K No. DE-SC0012704, by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE K No. DE-SC0002769, and by DOE K No. DE-AC02-76SF00515. Crab cavities, operating at 197 MHz and 394 MHz respectively, will be used to compensate the loss of luminosity due to a 25 mrad crossing angle at the interaction point in the Electron Ion Collider (EIC). Both crab cavities are of the RF Dipole (RFD) shape. To meet the machine design requirements, there are a few important cavity design considerations that need to be addressed. First, to achieve stable cavity operation at the design voltages, cavity geometry details must be optimized to suppress potential multipacting. Incorporating strong HOM damping in the cavity design is required for the beam stability and quality. Furthermore, due to the finite pole width, the multipole fields, especially the sextupole and the decapole terms, need to be minimized to maintain an acceptable beam dynamic aperture. This paper will present the RF optimization details of the 197 MHz cavity. |

TUPTB069 | Design and Tests of a Cathode Stalk for the LCLS-II-HE Low Emittance Injector SRF Gun | 589 |
|
||
A SRF gun can operate CW with a high gradient and ultra-low vacuum for high-quantum efficiency, low MTE photocathodes, useful features for delivery of high-brightness, high-repetition-rate beams. For these reasons, an SRF gun based photoinjector was chosen for a proposed Low Emittance Injector addition to the LCLS-II-HE facility, which will operate CW with bunch rates up to 1 MHz. For this injector, a prototype 185.7 MHz QWR gun is being developed in a collaborative effort among FRIB, HZDR, ANL and SLAC, with the goal of achieving a photocathode gradient of at least 30 MV/m. The photocathode is held by a coaxial fixture (cathode stalk) for thermal isolation from the cavity body. The system must allow for precise alignment of the photocathode, particle-free photocathode exchange, cryogenic (55-70 K) or warm (273-300 K) photocathode operating temperatures, and DC biasing to inhibit multipacting. A prototype cathode stalk has been built and bench tests are underway to validate the design. Measurements include RF power dissipation, DC bias hold-off, multipacting suppression and heat transfer effectiveness. This paper describes the cathode stalk design and the test results. | ||
