  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.

  In the high-energy section of the Project X Linac, acceleration of H- ions takes place in superconducting cavities operating at 650 MHz. Two families of five-cell elliptical cavities are planned: β = 0.61 and β = 0.9. A specific feature of the Project X Linac is low beam loading, and thus, low bandwidth and higher sensitivity to microphonics. Efforts to optimize the mechanical design of the cavities to improve their mechanical stability in response to the helium bath pressure fluctuations will be presented. These efforts take into account constraints such as cost and ease of fabrication. Also discussed will be the overall design status of the cavities and their helium jackets.

  Project X is based on a 3 GeV CW superconducting linac and is currently in the R&D phase awaiting CD-0 approval. The low-energy section of the Project X H-linac includes three types of super-conducting single spoke cavities operating at 325 MHz. SSR0 (26 cavities), SSR1 (18 cavities) and SSR2 (44 cavities) have a geometrical beta of = 0.11, 0.21 and 0.4 respectively. Single spoke cavities were selected for the linac in virtue of their higher r/Q. In this paper we present the decisions and analyses that lead to the final designs. Electro-magnetic and mechanical finite element analyses were performed with the purpose of optimizing the electro-magnetic design, minimizing frequency shifts due to Helium bath pressure fluctuations and providing a pressure rating for the resonators that allow their use in the cryomodules.

  The continuous wave 3 GeV Project X Linac requires the development of two families of cavities and cryomodules at 325 and 650 MHz. The baseline design calls for three types of superconducting single-spoke resonators at 325 MHz having betas of 0.11, 0.22, and 0.42 and two types of superconducting five-cell elliptical cavities having betas of 0.61 and 0.9. These cavities shall accelerate a 1 mA H beam initially and must support eventual operation at 4 mA. The electromagnetic and mechanical designs of the cavities are in progress and acquisition of prototypes is planned. The heat load to the cryogenic system is up to 25 W per cavity in the 650 MHz section, thus segmentation of the cryogenic system is a major issue in the cryomodule design. Designs for the two families of cryomodules are underway.

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.
