  A search for HOMs in Cornell’s ERL main linac cavity installed in a Horizontal Test Cryomodule (HTC) has been carried out using a bunch charge modulation method, as part of the effort towards building an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL). The beam-based HOM measurements offer the significant advantage of being able to detect trapped modes invisible to both the RF pickup probes and HOM damping loads, and allow for measuring the R/Q of the modes. For each HOM detected during the search, measurements were taken to determine its nature (monopole, dipole, etc.), frequency, loaded quality factor and shunt impedance. A selection of the most notable modes found is presented, compared to 3D HOM simulations, and their potential impact on the BBU current of the future Cornell ERL is discussed.

  The superconducting RF linac for LCLS-II calls for 1.3 GHz 9-cell cavities with an average intrinsic quality factor Q0 of 2.7·1010 at 2K and 16 MV/m accelerating gradient. A collaborative effort between Cornell University, FNAL, and JLab has been set up with the goal of developing and demonstrating a cavity treatment protocol for the LCLS-II cavities meeting these specifications. The high Q0 treatment protocol is based on nitrogen doping of the RF surface layer during a high temperature heat treatment. This novel SRF cavity preparation was recently developed at FNAL and shown to result in SRF cavities of very high Q0 at 2K with an increase in Q0 from low to medium fields. N-doped single cell cavities at Cornell, FNAL, and JLab routinely exceed LCLS-II specification. 9-cell N-doped cavities at FNAL achieve an average Q0(T=2K, 16 MV/m) of ≈ 3.4·1010 with an average quench field of ≈ 19 MV/m, meeting therefore overall with good margin the LCLS-II specification.

It is well known that external magnetic fields can cause higher residual resistance in superconducting RF cavities if the field is present during cooldown. However, the effect of cavity preparation and surface mean free path on the resulting residual resistance from magnetic field is less well studied. In this paper, we report on recent studies at Cornell in which two SRF cavities (one nitrogen-doped and one 120oC baked) were cooled through Tc in an applied uniform external magnetic field. Trapped flux and residual resistance were measured for a variety of cooldowns and applied magnetic fields. It was found that the residual resistance due to trapped flux in the nitrogen-doped cavity was three times larger than in the 120oC baked cavity.

Recent results from Cornell and FNAL have shown that superconducting RF cavities given a heat treatment in a nitrogen atmosphere of a few mTorr display an increase in Q0 with increasing accelerating field, opposite to the medium field Q slope usually observed. Three cavities was prepared at Cornell using this method and subsequently tested after different amounts of material removal. Cavity performance and material properties were extracted for each cavity and correlated with material removal. This has given new insights into how material properties and the anti-Q slope depend on cavity preparation.

  A sample-host TE-mode cavity developed at Cornell for the purposes of studying novel superconducting materials has undergone further testing using a niobium sample plate. In initial testing the peak field achieved on the sample plate was (45 ± 4.5) mT, although this was limited by the amount of input power available. New tests have been performed using both an improved RF power system and a temperature mapping system for precision measurements of surface resistance as a function of location on the sample plate. Results of the most recent test, in which the cavity achieved a peak sample plate field of (81 ± 4) mT using a high-RRR niobium sample plate, are presented and future work on the cavity is discussed.

  Nb3Sn coatings on niobium SRF cavities have the potential to significantly reduce cryogenic costs due to their extremely small surface resistance (Rs). In this paper, we present new results showing the repeatability of Cornell's fabrication process, which produces high Q0 cavities that reach medium fields with minimal Q-slope. We also show the results of attempts to smooth RF surfaces and reduce defects via material removal. However, both HF rinsing and centrifugal barrel polishing resulted in strong performance degradation.
