TI - Frequency Measurement and Tuning of a 9-Cell Superconducting Cavity Developed with UK Industry J2 - Proc. of International Conference on RF Superconductivity (SRF2015), Whistler, BC, Canada, Sept. 13-18, 2015 AB - As part of an STFC Innovations Partnership Scheme (IPS) grant, in support of enabling UK industry to address the large potential market for superconducting RF structures, Daresbury Laboratory and Shakespeare Engineering Ltd are collaborating to produce a 1.3 GHz 9 cell niobium cavity. This paper describes the procedures to ensure the cavity reaches the required frequency and field flatness. The frequency of each half-cell was measured using a custom measurement apparatus. Combined mechanical and RF simulations were used to compensate for cavity deformation during measurement. Results of Coordinate Measurement Machine measurements of one half-cell are presented. The same procedure will be used to trim the cells at the dumbbell stage, and the full 9-cell cavity will be tuned once welded.
