  Under Indian Institutions Fermilab collaboration (IIFC), Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT) Indore, Inter University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) New Delhi and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) have developed two prototype 1.3 GHz niobium single cell superconducting cavities. Development of forming tools, forming of half cells, machining of components, development of welding fixtures along with RF & vacuum qualification were carried out at RRCAT. The electron beam welding was carried out at IUAC. The fabricated prototype cavities were tested for RF and vacuum leak tightness up to 77 K at RRCAT before shipment to FNAL. Processing, consisting of CBP, EP, and heat treatment was carried out jointly by FNAL and Argonne National Laboratory in USA. Both the prototype cavities were tested at 2 K in the VTS facility at FNAL and have achieved the accelerating gradient of ~ 19 to 21 MV/m with Q > 1.5 ·10+10. This paper will report the developmental efforts carried out in tooling, forming, machining, welding & various qualification procedures adopted. The paper will also present the processing and the 2 K test results.

At Fermilab, 9-cell 1.3 GHz superconducting RF (SRF) cavities are prepared, qualified, and assembled into cryomodules, for Project X, an International Linear Collider, or other future projects. The 1.3 GHz SRF cavity program includes targeted R&D on 1-cell 1.3 GHz cavities for cavity performance improvement. Production cavity qualification includes cavity inspection, surface processing, clean assembly, and one or more cryogenic low-power CW qualification tests which typically include performance diagnostics. Qualified cavities are welded into helium vessels and are cryogenically tested with pulsed high-power. Well performing cavities are assembled into cryomodules for pulsed high-power testing in a cryomodule test facility, and possible installation into a beamline. The overall goals of the 1.3 GHz SRF cavity program, supporting facilities, and accomplishments are described.
