MOPB100	Cathode Geometry and Flow Dynamics Impact on Vertical Electropolishing of Superconducting Niobium Cavities	385
	L.M.A. Ferreira CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	CERN has now a fully operating vertical electropolishing installation, which has been used for the processing of 704 MHz high-beta five-cell Superconducting Proton Linac (SPL) niobium cavities. This installation relies only on the electrolyte circulation (HF/H2SO4) for power dissipation, evacuation of gases and homogeneous finishing; thus, parameters like cathode geometry, electrolyte flow and temperature become even more crucial when compared with horizontal electropolishing installations. Based on computational simulations performed with Comsol Multiphysics® and on a methodology developed at CERN, it is possible to assess the impact of the different cathode geometries as well as of the flow on the etching rate distribution. The data obtained with two different cathode geometries are presented: electrolyte velocity distribution, etching rate distribution, average current density and minimum working potential. One geometry was defined through a purely electrochemical approach while the second was defined to minimise the difference between the maximum and the minimum electrolyte speed inside the cavity; in both cases, the influence of the electrolyte flow was taken into account.

	The design of a compact superconducting crab-cavity for LHC using Nb-on-Cu-coating technique is presented. The cavity shape is based on the ridged waveguide resonator with wide open apertures to provide access to the inner surface of the cavity for coating. It also provides natural damping for HOMs and rather low longitudinal and transverse impedances. The results of the cavity shape optimization taking into account RF performance, coating, and thermo-mechanical considerations as well as the design and fabrication plans of the first prototype for coating and cold tests are presented.
