  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.

  DESY is preparing for the delivery of some 600 superconducting 9-cell cavities for the European XFEL. Analysing the history and recorded data of recently tested cavities gives important evidence for proper treatment, preparation and handling of cavities. The experience given by temperature mapping, the Second Sound technique and optical inspection will be compared and an overview of the results obtained so far will be given in this report.

  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

  SRF cavity Field Emission (FE) presents a major diagnostics instrument on the cavity performance, save the FE levels differ significantly from one cavity test setup to another, making the analysis difficult. A comparison study complimented with a direct calibration of FE in the cavities tested with different auxillaries and test stands (vertical / horizontal / module) is presented and discussed.

  Material for large grain LG and single crystal SC cavities of TESLA shape has been developed in collaboration with industry. One of the aspects of LG material was electron beam melting of the ingots with required structure. The second was slicing of the discs cost effectively with tight thickness tolerances, high surface quality and high purity. Surface and structural properties of SC on the LG discs are investigated. Measurements of the crystal orientation on the LG discs of three companies have been done by complete penetration using synchrotron radiation. Two LG material features have been stressed in cavity production: the influence of the LG crystal orientation on the anisotropic behavior during deep drawing and the impact of pronounced steps at grain boundaries on cavity behavior. 11 LG 9-cell cavities of XFEL-like shape are fabricated. The procedure of increasing the crystal size by rolling of LG discs and cut out of SC discs, followed by subsequent forming and welding without destroying of the SC structure, was developed. A method of fabrication of single crystal cavities was proposed. Several SC cavities with different crystal orientations were produced.

  XFEL prototype cavities fabricated in industry and treated at DESY mainly meet the specification. Few cavities demonstrated low performance (13-20 MV/m) limited by thermal breakdown. The T-map analysis detected quench areas mainly close to the equator. Optical inspection by high resolution camera allowed tracking the several stages of preparation (as received, after the main electropolishing EP, after RF test) and in some cases makes possible monitoring the evolution of defects. In order to understand the nature of reduced performance and get more detailed information on the origin of defects, some samples have been extracted from four cavities and investigated by light microscope, 3D-microscope, SEM, EDX and Auger spectroscopy. Several surface flaws with sizes from a few μm to hundreds of μm have been detected. The defects can be grouped in four categories. The first category of defects indicates foreign elements (often with increased content of carbon). Deviation from smooth surface profile characterizes the second type of defects (holes, bumps). Damaged surface areas at high pressure water rinsing and etching pits belong to the third and fourth category of defects.
