	Piezo actuators are used for resonance control in superconducting linacs. In high accelerating gradients linacs, such as those operated in a pulsed mode, the piezos require a large operating voltage. This is due to the Lorentz forced detuning which causes a large frequency shift and is compensated with an active piezo-tuning system. In this high dynamic voltage range the piezo is expected to warm up drastically due to it being in an insulated vacuum. This study characterizes the dielectric properties (capacitance, dielectric losses), the piezo stroke (from geophone), and thermal properties such as heating. Results obtained in the temperature range of 20K to 300K will be presented and discussed.

SUPLS03	A Pulsed, Current Regulated Magnet Power Supply for Small Magnets

	Funding: Work supported by U. S. Department of Energy grant number DESC00010301 The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) has two pulsed quadrupoles in the injection section that must be current regulated to the same precision as the other DC quadrupoles in the ring, as well as accurately synchro-nized to the ring operating cycle. To meet this need, a practical pulsed current, regulated power supply has been designed and built using a commercial power operational amplifier for output, standard operational amplifiers for feedback control and monitoring, and matched resistor pairs to produce the desired transfer function of 10 Volts to 6 Amperes. For other applications the circuit can be modified to produce a range of transfer functions by varying the appropriate resistor pair ratios. Output pulse width and timing are generated by a standardized TTL pulse from the control system that gates the output of the amplifier. Installed safety circuitry detects the absence of a proper control pulse, an open circuit or shorted output, and measures and returns to the control system the actual operating amplitude of the current pulse. In this paper we present the design, implementation, and operational results of the prototyped pulsed current source.

SUPLS04	Analysis of High Field Q-Slope (HFQS) Causes and Development of New Chemical Polishing Acid

	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.

SUPLS05	Recent Developments of Nb₃Sn at Jefferson Lab for SRF Accelerator Application

	Funding: U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics. The desire to reduce the construction and operating costs of future SRF accelerators motivates the search for alternative, higher-performing materials. Nb₃Sn (Tc ~ 18.3 K and Hsh ~ 425 mT) is the front runner. However, tests of early Nb₃Sn-coated cavities encountered strong Q-slopes limiting the performance. Learnings from studies of coated materials related to cavity performance prompted significant changes to the coating process. It is now possible to routinely produce slope-free single-cell cavities having Q₀ ≥ 2×10¹⁰ at 4 K and > 4×10¹⁰ at 2 K up to the accelerating gradient in excess of 15 MV/m at its best. Obtaining similar results in five-cell cavities is a current goal to test them under an accelerator environment. This contribution discusses recent developments at Jefferson Lab.

SUPLS07	First Cold Test Results of a Medium-Beta 644 MHz Superconducting 5-Cell Elliptical Cavity for the FRIB Energy Upgrade

	Funding: Work supported by Michigan State University. The superconducting linac for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will accelerate ions to 200 MeV per nucleon, with the possibility of a future energy upgrade to 400 MeV per nucleon via additional cavities. A 5-cell superconducting β = 0.65 elliptical cavity was designed for this purpose. Two unjacketed 5-cell niobium cavities were fabricated; the first of these was Dewar tested in February 2019. The surface preparation was bulk electropolishing (EP, 150 µm), hydrogen degassing (600°C, 10 hours), light EP (20 µm), clean-room high-pressure water rinsing, and in-situ baking (120°C, 48 hours). We achieved Q₀ = 2·10¹⁰, equivalent to Rs = 10 nΩ, at the design gradient of 17.5 MV/m. The cavity was tested in a newly refurbished FRIB test Dewar, equipped with a variable input coupler.

SUPLS08	Progress in Nb₃Sn SRF Cavities at Cornell University

	Niobium-3 Tin (Nb₃Sn) is the most promising alternative material for next-generation SRF cavities. The material can obtain high quality factors (> 10¹⁰) at 4.2 K and could theoretically support ~ 96 MV/m operation of a TESLA elliptical style cavity. Current Nb₃Sn cavities made at Cornell University achieve high quality factors but are limited to about 17 MV/m in CW operation due to the presence of a surface defect. Here we examine recent results on studying the quench mechanism and propose that surface roughness is a major limiter for accelerating gradients. Furthermore, we discuss recent work on reducing the surface roughness including chemical polishing, modification of material growth, and tin electroplating.

	Superconducting thin films have the potential of reducing the cost of particle accelerators. Among the potential materials, Nb₃Sn has a higher critical temperature and higher critical field compared to niobium. Sn vapor diffusion method is the preferred technique to coat niobium cavities. Although there are several thin-film-coated basic cavity models that are tested at their specific frequencies, the Half-wave resonator could provide us data across frequencies of interest for particle accelerators. With its advanced geometry, increased area, increased number of ports and hard to reach areas, the half-wave resonator needs a different coating approach, in particular, a development of a secondary Sn source. We are commissioning a secondary Sn source in the coating system and expand the current coating system at JLab to coat complex cavity models.

Piezo actuators are used for resonance control in superconducting linacs. In high accelerating gradients linacs, such as those operated in a pulsed mode, the piezos require a large operating voltage. This is due to the Lorentz forced detuning which causes a large frequency shift and is compensated with an active piezo-tuning system. In this high dynamic voltage range the piezo is expected to warm up drastically due to it being in an insulated vacuum. This study characterizes the dielectric properties (capacitance, dielectric losses), the piezo stroke (from geophone), and thermal properties such as heating. Results obtained in the temperature range of 20K to 300K will be presented and discussed.
