  The clean room is the main infrastructure for preparation of superconducting cavities at DESY, which was set up in the early 90th of the last century. This clean room was completely renovated in 2009. The ground plan of clean room class ISO 4 was enlarged from 20 to 53 m² and the areas of ISO 7 of the old clean room were upgraded to ISO 6 and ISO 5 standard. Areas for ultrasonic cleaning, ultrapure water rinsing and chemical surface treatment were upgraded to ISO 4 standards. Multiple vacuum connections were installed to reduce movement of cavities. A 120oC heating chamber was connected to the ISO 4 assembly area and allows the in situ bake out of multi cell super conducting resonators. For industrial cavity production it was shown that a high pressure rinsing unit driven by a turbine pump allows feeding several high pressure rinsing stands in parallel. For cost reduction of ultra pure water production and for increase of the amount of water in the cavity preparation cycle, a recirculation of rinsing water is under commissioning. Fixtures and tools for the assembly of the Beam position monitor and Quadrupol units (BQU) for the XFEL modules are installed and commissioned.

  Production of two types of seamless niobium tubes for hydroforming of RF cavities has been developed. The first type of tubes, developed at DESY, have been spun from sheets and flow formed. The second type of tubing was developed by Black Laboratories in collaboration with the company ATI Wah Chang. These longer length tubes were extruded from a heavily deformed billet, processed for a fine-grained microstructure and flow formed. Several seamless three cell units have been produced by hydroforming at DESY. Some of the units have been treated by buffered chemical polishing and RF tested at JLab. The accelerating gradient Eacc of the units exceeded in most cases 30 MV/m. Three of the 3-cell units from the first type of tubing were combined to three 9-cell niobium cavities at the company E. Zanon. The 3-cell units from extruded tubing are welded together to the fourth 9-cell cavity at JLab. All cavities are in preparation for the RF tests at DESY and JLab. Up to now two of the cavities are electropolished and tested at DESY. The first cavity reached an accelerating gradient of Eacc of ~30 MV/m, the second one ~35 MV/m.

  At DESY several cavity strings for modules of the FLASH accelerator and studies on XFEL prototypes are completed. In some modules cavities have been exchanged for upgrade of applicable module gradients or exchange of resonators showing performance degradation in the module test. Assembly and repair sequences and quality control plans for cavity string are developed and applied. From module string PXFEL3 six out of eight cavities are removed and handed over to CEA Saclay for training of string and module assembly. On two of these cavities the procedures for assembly and exchange of cavities in cavity strings are crosschecked. These cavities are tested at 2 K as removed from string without additional treatments to cross check assembly and repair sequences.

  In the last decade the degradation of cavity acceleration gradients is observed frequently in module RF tests, after the assembly and installation of complete accelerator modules. In some cases no explanation for these degradations could be found from quality control records, assembly procedure protocols or notes from observers. On the PXFEL3 module quench limitations without indication of field emission loading is observed at two cavities. Boundary conditions like storage of resonators, cleaning process for ISO 4 clean room as well as the assembly processes and handling of the resonators are under investigation. The two degraded cavities of module PXFEL 3 are removed from the cavity string and studied intensively. The actual status of our research is presented.

  Since 2009 a series of eight nine-cell cavities (AC151 – AC158) of TESLA shape fabricated of large grain (LG) niobium material is under preparation and test at DESY. In a first step all cavities were tested after a BCP treatment. In a second step additional electro polishing is applied to all cavities. In this paper the treatment will be discussed and present results will be reported  
 
TUPO050 Studies on Transportation of Superconducting Resonators and Beam Position Monitors - Quadrupol Units for the XFEL Project 504

  For the XFEL project industrial companies in Germany and Italy are in charge of the cavity fabrication and preparation. For the radio frequency acceptance test these cavities have to be transported to the DESY site in Hamburg without losing the performance. The XFEL Beam Position Monitor and Quadrupol Units (BQU) are completed in the DESY clean room. The cavities and the BQU are handed out in the status “ready for assembly” to the string assembly site at CEA Saclay in France. These components have to be transported without risk of damages or reduction of performance. To ensure that the transports over European routes do not influence the performance of cavities or are origin of particulates inside the BQU, individual transport boxes for super conduction cavities and transport fixtures for the BQU are designed and tested.

  S1-Global collaborative project by joint efforts of INFN, DESY, FNAL, SLAC and KEK, finished successfully at KEK- STF on February in 2011, is a crucial project for ILC. For this project, 8 SRF cavities, 2 from DESY, 2 from FNAL and 4 from KEK, were installed into one cryomodule with the thermal shields and the cooling pipes of liquid helium and nitrogen, cooled down to 2K totally three times, and cold-tested by using the three different frequency tuning systems (Blade tuner from INFN/FNAL, Saclay tuner from DESY and Slide-Jack tuner from KEK) and two types of input couplers (TTF III from DESY and STF#2 from KEK). During the cold test with high power, cavity performance, LFD (Lorentz Force Detuning) compensation by Piezo actuator, simultaneous 7 SRF cavities operation, dynamic heating loss measurement including static loss and DRFS (Distributed RF Scheme) operation with LLRF (Low Level RF) feedback system, were established successfully. In this talk, the results of the S1-Global cryomodule test are reported, discussed and summarized.
