MOBA08 | Niobium Impurity-Doping Studies at Cornell and CM Cool-Down Dynamic Effect on Q0 | 55 |
|
||
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. | ||

MOPB033 | LCLS-II SRF Cavity Processing Protocol Development and Baseline Cavity Performance Demonstration | 159 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported, in part, by the US DOE and the LCLS-II Project under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177 and DE-AC02-76SF00515. The ”Linac Coherent Light Source-II” Project will construct a 4 GeV CW superconducting RF linac in the first kilometer of the existing SLAC linac tunnel. The baseline design calls for 280 1.3 GHz nine-cell cavities with an average intrinsic quality factor Q0 of 2.7·1010 at 2K and 16 MV/m accelerating gradient. The LCLS-II high Q0 cavity treatment protocol utilizes the reduction in BCS surface resistance by nitrogen doping of the RF surface layer, which was discovered originally at FNAL. Cornell University, FNAL, and TJNAF conducted a joint high Q0 R&D program with the goal of (a) exploring the robustness of the N-doping technique and establishing the LCLS-II cavity high Q0 processing protocol suitable for production use, and (b) demonstrating that this process can reliably achieve LCLS-II cavity specification in a production acceptance testing setting. In this paper we describe the LCLS-II cavity protocol and analyze combined cavity performance data from both vertical and horizontal testing at the three partner labs, which clearly shows that LCLS-II specifications were met, and thus demonstrates readiness for LCLS-II cavity production. |

MOPB040 | Performance of Dressed Cavities for the Jefferson Laboratory LCLS-II Prototype Cryomodule - With Comparison to the Pre-Dressed Performance | 178 |
|
||
Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177 with supplemental funding from the LCLS-II Project U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515. Initial vertical RF test results and quench studies for six of the eight undressed 9 cell cavities slated for use in the Jefferson laboratory LCLS-II prototype cryomodule were presented at IPAC2015*. For the final string 2 more cavities AES029 and AES030 (work done at Cornell) are being processed and tested for qualification before helium vessel welding. In addition, AES034 (initial R&D treatment) is being reworked with the current production protocol after a surface reset to improve the overall performance. After final qualification all 8 cavities will be welded into helium vessels and equipped with HOM couplers. In this paper we will present the final undressed and dressed vertical RF data comparing the changes in the surface resistance before their installation in the cryomodule string. *A.D.

MOPB041 | Cryomodule Testing of Nitrogen-Doped Cavities | 182 |
|
||
Funding: DOE and the LCLS-II High Q Project 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. |

MOPB083 | Cooling Front Measurement of a 9-Cell Cavity via the Multi-Cell Temperature-Mapping System at Cornell University | 324 |
|
||
Cooling speed significantly affects flux trapping of a SRF cavity, which will determine the residual resistance and the quality factor of the cavity. We measured the temperature distribution of a 9-cell cavity at different cooling speeds by the multi-cell T-map system of Cornell University. This paper proposed a method to evaluate the formation of a normal conducting island at different cooling speed. The fast cool-down and slow cool-down has been compared. We conclude that the slow cool-down freezes less normal conducting islands. | ||

MOPB084 | Performance of Nitrogen-Doped 9-Cell SRF Cavities in Vertical Tests at Cornell University | 328 |
|
||
Cornell University treated five LCLS-II 9-cell cavities by nitrogen-doping recipe. In this paper, we reported the performance of these 9-cell cavities. In the treatments, the nitrogen recipes are slightly different. The cavities have been firstly doped under high nitrogen pressure; after the vertical tests some of the cavities has been reset the surface and re-doped under light nitrogen pressure. The detail of the cavity preparation and test results will be shown. The comparison of the different recipes will be discussed. | ||

We reported the plasma works at Cornell University. The plasma has been generated for 1) surface cleaning to reduce field emission; 2) the cavity quality factor improvement. The experiment design, including RF design, the gas type and pressure selection, the external DC magnetic field calculation, had been discussed. The plasma experiment set-up by using a 1.3GHz single-cell cavity is shown. Argon and helium plasma was successfully ignited in the cavity; the results of the plasma processing will be displayed. | ||

MOPB093 | Vertical Electropolishing Studies at Cornell | 364 |
|
||
Vertical Electro-Polishing (VEP) has been developed and applied on various SRF R&Ds at Cornell as primary surface process of Nb. Recent achievements had been demonstrated with nitrogen doped high-Q cavities for LCLS-II. Five 9-cell cavities processed with VEP and nitrogen doping at Cornell showed the high average Qo value of 3.0·1010 at 16MV/m, 2K, during vertical test. this achievement satisfied the required cavity specification values of LCLS-II(2.7·1010 at 16MV/m, 2K). We will report the details of these achievements and new VEP collaboration projects between Cornell and companies. | ||

MOPB101 | Electropolishing of Niobium SRF Cavities in Eco-Friendly Aqueous Electrolytes Without Hydrofluoric Acid | 390 |
|
||
Electropolishing of niobium cavities is conventionally conducted in high viscosity electrolytes consisting of concentrated sulfuric and hydrofluoric acids. This use of dangerous and ecologically damaging chemicals requires careful attention to safety protocols to avoid harmful worker exposure and environmental damage. We present an approach for electropolishing of niobium materials based on pulse reverse waveforms, enabling the use of low viscosity aqueous dilute sulfuric acid electrolytes without hydrofluoric acid, or aqueous near-neutral pH salt solutions without any acid. Results will be summarized for both cavity and coupon electropolishing for bulk and final polishing steps. With minimal optimization of pulse reverse waveform parameters we have demonstrated the ability to electropolish single-cell niobium SRF cavities and achieve at least equivalent performance compared to conventionally processed cavities. Cavities are electropolished in a vertical orientation filled with electrolyte and without rotation, offering numerous advantages from an industrial processing perspective. Shielding, external cooling and high surface area cathodes are adaptable to the bipolar EP process.
