  In this contribution we will report quality factor evolution of several different nine cell N doped cavities with very high Q. The evolution of the quality factor will be reported from bare to dressed in vertical test to dressed in horizontal test with unity coupling to dressed in horizontal test and CM-like environment/configuration (with RF ancillaries). Cooling studies and optimal cooling regimes will be discussed for both vertical and horizontal tests and comparisons will be drawn also for different styles titanium vessels. Studies of sensitivities to magnetic field in final horizontal configuration have been performed by applying a field around the dressed cavity and varying the cooling; parameters required for a very good flux expulsion will be presented.

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.

  New auxiliary components have been designed and fabricated for the 1.3 GHz SRF cavities comprising the LCLS-II linac. In particular, the LCLS-II cavity’s helium vessel, high-power input coupler, higher-order mode (HOM) feedthroughs, magnetic shielding, and cavity tuning system were all designed to meet LCLS-II specifications. Integrated tests of the cavity and these components were done at Fermilab’s Horizontal Test Stand (HTS) using several kilowatts of continuous-wave (CW) RF power. The results of the tests are summarized here.

  A major challenge for industrialization of SRF cavity fabrication and processing is developing a supply chain to meet the high production demands of the ILC prior to establishment of a long term market need. Conventional SRF cavity electropolishing is based on hydrofluoric-sulfuric acid mixtures. In comparison, FARADAYIC® Bipolar EP applies pulse reverse electrolysis in dilute sulfuric acid-water solutions without hydrofluoric acid and offers substantial savings in operating and capital costs. Based on a preliminary economic analysis of the cavity processing requirements associated with the ILC, we project the cost of FARADAYIC® Bipolar EP to be about 27% that of the Baseline EP. In terms of tangible cost savings, the cost per cavity for the FARADAYIC® Bipolar EP and Baseline EP are \1,293 and \4,828, respectively. The “eco-friendly” intangible cost savings are generally accepted although the cost savings in terms of material degradation and maintenance are difficult to quantify at this time. Continued development and validation of FARADAYIC® Bipolar EP on nine cell cavities will contribute greatly to the industrialization of SRF accelerator technology.

  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.

The Fermilab SRF group regularly performs Nitrogen (N2) doping heat treatments on superconducting cavities in order to improve their Radio Frequency (RF) performances. This paper describes the set up and operations of the Fermilab vacuum furnaces, with a major focus on the implementation and execution of the N2 doping recipe. The cavity preparation will be presented, N2 doping recipes will be analyzed and heat treatment data will be reported in the form of plot showing temperature, total pressure and partial pressures over time. Finally possible upgrades and improvements of the furnace and the N2 doping process are discussed.

  Power dissipation in HOM coupler antenna can limit cavity gradient in cw operation. XFEL design of HOM coupler, feedthrough and thermal connection to 2K pipe was accepted for LCLS-II cavity based on simulation results. Recently a series of vertical and horizontal tests was done to prove design for cw operation. In vertical test was found no effect of HOM coupler heating on high-Q cavity performance. In horizontal cryostat HOM coupler was tested up-to 23MV/m in continuous wave mode. Result proves that XFEL HOM coupler meets LCLS-II specifications.

  Superconducting ILC-type cavities have an rf input coupler that is welded on. A detachable input coupler will reduce conditioning time (can be conditioned separately), reduce cost and improve reliability. The problem with placing an extra flange in the superconducting cavity is about creating a possible quench spot at the seal place. Euclid Techlabs LLC has developed a coaxial coupler which has an on the surface with zero magnetic field (hence zero surface current). By placing a flange in that area we are able to avoid disturbing surface currents that typically lead to a quench. The coupler is optimized to preserve the axial symmetry of the cavity and rf field. The surface treatments and rf test of the proto- type coupler with a 1.3 GHz ILC-type single-cell cavity at Fermilab will be reported and discussed.
