  As part of the development of the ESS spoke linac, the FREIA Laboratory at Uppsala University, Sweden, has been equipped with a superconducting cavity test facility. The cryogenic tests of a single and double spoke cavity developed by IPN Orsay have been performed in the new HNOSS horizontal cryostat system. The cavities are equipped with a low power input antenna and a pick-up antenna. Different measurement methods were investigated to measure the RF signal coupling from the cavity. Results from the tests confirm the possibility to transport the cavities from France to Sweden without consequences. We present the methods and preliminary study results of the cavity performance.

  In this paper we propose a high-precision method of measuring Q0 of SRF cavities. A common way to study the performance of an SRF cavity is to build an oscillator around it that is referred to as a self-exciting loop. In the standard approach, by tuning the loop phase for a maximum field level in the cavity and measuring forward and reflected waves, one finds the cavity coupling. Then, performing a time-decay measurement and finding the total quality factor, one gets Q0. However, this approach suffers from a deficiency originating from a single data-point measurement of the reflection coefficient. In our method by varying the loop phase shift, one obtains amplitudes of the reflection coefficient of the cavity as a function of its phases. The complex reflection coefficient describes a perfect circle in polar coordinates. Fitting the overdetermined set of data to that circle allows more accurate calculation of Q0 via the least-squares procedure. The method has been tested at the FREIA Laboratory on two cavities from IPN Orsay: a single spoke and a prototype ESS double spoke.
