  This presentation will cover recent breakthroughs in the SRF field that have revolutionized the achievable quality factors in bulk niobium cavities. It will cover two main breakthroughs: one involving the controlled nitrogen doping of the niobium cavity surface, and second the efficient magnetic flux expulsion from the niobium walls via controlled cavity cooling though transition temperature. The talk will give an overview from the discovery of these effects at FNAL to the development into a cryomodule ready technology by the partner labs Cornell, Jlab, FNAL and SLAC for implementation in the LCLS-2 accelerator. New results will be presented from surface analysis, cavity diagnostics tools and very high Q obtained in dressed cavities in cryomodule environment.

In this study we prove that the mechanism at the basis of quality factor degradation due to quench involves the entrapment of ambient magnetic field. The cavity quench in the absence of magnetic field does not introduce any extra losses, and a clear trend between the external field and the extra losses introduced by the quench was observed. It is demonstrated that the quality factor can be totally recovered by quenching in zero applied magnetic field. A dependence of the amount of quality factor degradation on the orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the cavity was also found.

Discovery at Fermilab of a drastic effect of nitrogen doping leading to unprecedented high Q values in niobium cavities * motivated a strong interest in revealing the physics underlying the effect. In this contribution we present new results obtained by DC magnetometry, AC susceptibility, resistivity and thermal properties measurements on nitrogen doped samples prepared by different recipes/doping levels, which shed light on the possible origin of the effect.

Nitrogen doping * results in ultra-high quality factors in SRF niobium cavities but currently achievable gradients in doped cavities are, on average, somewhat lower than in EP/120C baked cavities. The origin of this difference is explored in the reported work by detailed temperature mapping studies on several single cell nitrogen doped cavities.

The Linac Coherent Light Source-II (LCLS-II) is a new x-ray source that is planned to be constructed in the existing SLAC tunnel. To meet the quality factor specifications (2.7x 1010 at 2.0 K and 16 MV/m), nitrogen-doping has been proposed as a preparation method for the SRF cavities. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of these goals, four 9-cell cavity tests have been completed in the Cornell Horizontal Test Cryomodule (HTC), which serves as a test bench for the full LCLS-II cryomodule. Here we report on the most recent two cavity tests in the HTC: one cavity nitrogen-doped at Cornell and tested with high Q input coupler and then again tested with high power LCLS-II input coupler. Transition to test in horizontal cryomodule resulted in no degradation in Q0 from vertical test. Additionally, increased dissipated power due to the high power input coupler was small and in good agreement with simulations. These results represent a crucial step on the way to demonstrating technical readiness for LCLS-II.
