We have designed, fabricated and tested two new half-wave resonators following the successful development of a series of niobium superconducting quarter-wave cavities. The half-wave resonators are optimized for β = 0.11 ions, operate at 162.5 MHz and are intended to provide up to 2 MV effective voltage for particles with the optimal velocity. Testing of the first two half-wave resonators is complete with both reaching accelerating voltages greater than 3.5 MV with low-field residual resistances of 1.7 and 2.3 nΩ respectively. The intention of this paper is to provide insight into how Argonne achieves low-residual resistances and high surface fields in low-beta cavities by describing the cavity design, fabrication, processing and testing.

  A single-spoke cavity operating at 325 MHz with geometric beta of 0.82 has been developed and tested. Initial results* showed high levels of field emission which limited the achievable gradient. Several rounds of helium processing significantly improved the cavity performance. Here we discuss the development process and report on the improved results.

  There are several current and recent projects which explore the feasibility of spoke-loaded cavities operating in the high-velocity region. Spoke cavities have a large number of geometric parameters which often influence multiple rf properties. Fabricating, handling, and processing these cavities presents some unique challenges, not unlike other TEM-class structures. This paper will summarize the current efforts toward the design, fabrication, and testing of spoke cavities with optimum beta greater than 0.8.
