Funding: U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant PHY-1565546. In our previous studies of High Field Q-slope (HFQS) we have concluded that nitrogen contamination from the nitric acid is the main cause of the degradation of the Q in buffered chemical polished cavities. Our conclusion is made based on previously unresolved phenomena which are found from huge amount of published cavity test data, include fine grain, large grain and single crystal cavities treated with EP and BCP. According to this analysis, we have started developing new nitrogen-free chemical polishing acid. Hydrogen peroxide with HF mixture was reported able to react with Nb, and there’s no extra element contamination in it, so we replace the conventional BCP with this mixture to start our study. In this paper, some Nb coupon sample results with new acid will be reported. We complete the first step of developing the new acid and we got the Nb finish roughness no worse than conventional BCP. |

WEPLM70 | FRIB Tuner Performance and Improvement | 755 |

Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is under construction at Michigan State University (MSU). The FRIB superconducting driver linac will accelerate ion beams to 200 MeV per nucleon. The driver linac requires 104 quarter-wave resonators (QWRs, β = 0.041 and 0.085) and 220 half-wave resonators (HWRs, β = 0.29 and 0.54). The cryomodules for β = 0.041, 0.085, and 0.29 have been completed and certified; 32 out of 49 cryomodules are certified via bunker test (as of March 2019). FRIB QWR cavities have a demountable niobium tuning plate which uses a warm external stepper motor and the FRIB HWR cavities use pneumatic actuated bellows. Progress on the preparation and performance of the tuners is presented in this paper along with improvements made to ensure meeting frequency specification. |
