  As part of a multi-laboratory research initiative on high Q0 niobium cavities for LCLS-II and other future CW SRF accelerators, Cornell has conducted an extensive research program during the last two years on impurity-doping of niobium cavities and related material characterization. Here we give an overview of these activities, and present results from single-cell studies, from vertical performance testing of nitrogen-doped nine-cell cavities, and from cryomodule testing of nitrogen-doped nine-cell cavities.

The Linac Coherent Light Source-II (LCLS-II) is a new FEL x-ray source that is planned to be constructed in the existing SLAC tunnel. In order to meet the required high Q0 specification of 2.7x1010 at 2 K and 16 MV/m, nitrogen-doping has been proposed as a preparation method for the SRF cavities in the linac. In order to test the feasibility of these goals, four nitrogen-doped cavities have been tested at Cornell in the Horizontal Test Cryomodule (HTC) in five separate tests. The first three tests consisted of cavities assembled in the HTC with high Q input coupler. The fourth test used the same cavity as the third but with the prototype high power LCLS-II coupler installed. Finally, the fifth test used a high power LCLS-II coupler, cavity tuner, and HOM antennas. Here we report on the results from these tests along with a systematic analysis of change in performance due to the various steps in preparing and assembling LCLS-II cavities for cryomodule operation. These results represent one of the final steps to demonstrate readiness for full prototype cryomodule assembly for LCLS-II.

Many novel materials are under investigation for the future of superconducting radio-frequency accelerators (SRF). In particular, thin-film materials such as Nb3Sn, NbN, SIS multilayers, and also thin-film niobium on copper, may offer improvements in cost efficiency and RF performance over the standard niobium cavities. To avoid the difficulties of depositing thin films on full cavities, Cornell has developed a TE-mode sample host cavity which allows for RF measurements of large, flat samples at fields up to and over 100 mT. We present recent performance results from the cavity, reaching record high fields and quality factor using a niobium calibration plate. We also discuss plans for future collaborations.

A significant advantage of Nb3Sn coated on niobium over conventional bulk niobium is the substantial reduction in the BCS losses at equal temperatures of the former relative to the latter. The quality factor of a 1.3 GHz Nb3Sn cavity is thus almost entirely dictated by the residual resistance at temperatures at and below 4.2 K, which, if minimised, offers the ability to operate the cavity in liquid helium at atmospheric pressure with quality factors exceeding 4·1010. In this paper we look at the impact of the cooldown procedure – which is intrinsically linked to the effect of spatial and temporal gradients – and the impact of external ambient magnetic fields on the performance of a Nb3Sn cavity.

  Cornell has designed, fabricated, and tested (by the time of the conference) a high current (100 mA) CW SRF prototype cryomodule for the Cornell ERL. This talk will report on the design and performance of this very high Q0 CW cryomodule including design issues and mitigation strategies.
