  For the European XFEL (EU-XFEL), two industrial companies are responsible for the manufacture and surface preparation of the eight hundred superconducting cavities. The companies had to strictly follow the XFEL specification and document all production and preparation steps. No performance guaranties were required. Each cavity delivered by industry to DESY is tested in a vertical test at 2K. Resonators not reaching the performances defined for application at the EU-XFEL linear accelerator modules or showing leakage during cold RF tests have undergone a subsequent retreatment at DESY. Nearly 20% of the cavity production required retreatment, most of them by an additional high pressure rinsing. Some cavities received additional chemical treatment by BCP flash after the initial HPR did not cure the problem. The analysis of retreatments and quality control data available from the retreatment sequences and the workflow of retreatment will be presented.

  Superconducting gun cavities for cw operation in accelerators are under study. In 2003 a three-and-a-half cell gun cavity was chemically treated with buffered chemical polishing and tested successfully in a collaboration between Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf and DESY. For several years a 1.3-GHz 1.6-cell resonator has been under study, which has been built and tested at DESY and elsewhere. For further studies and optimization the gun cavity needed to be electro-polished, which was conducted at DESY for the first time using vertical electro-polishing. The technical set-up for the vertical electro-polishing and high pressure rinsing as well as the processing parameters applied and the adaptation of the existing infrastructure to the 1.6-cell geometry at DESY are presented.

THPB032 Release Processes and Documentation Methods During Series Treatment of SRF Cavities for the European XFEL by Using an Engineering Data Management System 1154

  For the European XFEL more than 800 superconducting cavities need to be treated. At least 65 quality documents per cavity have to be emitted and transferred to DESY by the vendor; two acceptance levels must be passed successfully to release a cavity for transportation to DESY. All quality documents, non-conformity reports and acceptance levels are automatically processed by using DESY’s Engineering Data Management System (EDMS). We summarize documentation methods, document transfer procedures, review and release processes; we describe the exchange of process information between customer and vendor; and report about experiences.

  SRF Gun Cavity is an ongoing accelerator R&D project at DESY, being developed since several years. Currently several SRF Gun cavity prototypes were simulated, built and tested in our Lab and elsewhere. Lately the 1.6 cells Pb thin film cathode niobium cavity was tested in a vertical cryostat with a different cathode plug configurations. Cathode plug design was improved, as well as SRF Gun Cavity cleaning procedures. Results of the last cavity performance tests are presented and discussed.
