In 2013 a new horizontal Electropolishing facility was developed and implemented by Ettore Zanon SpA (EZ) for the treatment of cavities for the European XFEL series production. More than 300 cavities have been treated. Electropolishing has been used for two applications: bulk removal and recovering of cavities with surface defects. Treatment settings have been analysed and compared with cavities performances to verify possible influences of the various parameters. Main parameters considered are treatment time, voltage and current, that together define average thickness removal. We present here the results of these investigation. The facility and process in use are also presented, together with possible next upgrade of the system, facing the new production of cavities for the LCLSII project.

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.

The ANU Heavy Ion Facility is comprised of a 15 MV electrostatic accelerator and superconducting linac booster. The beam is double terminal stripped to provide high charge states at the entrance to the linac, which consists of twelve β=0.1 Split Loop Resonators (SLR). Each SLR needs to be individually tuned in phase and amplitude for optimum acceleration efficiency. The amplitude and phase of the superbuncher and time energy lens also have to be correctly set. The linac set up procedure developed at ANU utilises a beam profile monitor in the middle of a 180 degree achromat and a new technique based on a superconducting resonator operating in a beam bunch detection mode. Both techniques are used to derive a full set of phase distributions for quick and efficient setting up of the entire linac. Verification of the superconducting phase detector is accomplished during routine linac operations and is complemented by longitudinal phase space simulations. The new technique allows better resolution for setting the resonator acceleration phase and better sensitivity to accelerating current.

The ANU Heavy Ion Facility comprises a 15 MV electrostatic accelerator followed by a superconducting linac booster. The beam is foil stripped in the terminal and then stripped again to provide high charge states at the entrance to the linac. Employment of double terminal stripping allows the system to accelerate beams with mass up to 70 amu. The disadvantage of double terminal stripping is low beam intensity of few particle nA delivered to the linac. The linac encompasses twelve β=0.1 lead tin plated Split Loop Resonators (SLR) housed in four module cryostats. One of the linac set up procedures that developed at ANU utilises U-bend at the end of the linac. One special wide Beam Profile Monitor (BPM) is installed after 90 degrees magnet. The technique allows to set correct phase by observing the displacement of beam profile versus phase shift of the last phase locked resonator. In this paper a simple method has been proposed to improve sensitivity of commercially available BPM for efficient operation with low beam intensities. The system demonstrated very high stability, simplicity of operation and high reliability allowing sustained operation of the LINAC facility.

Each of the 103 XFEL modules foreseen for the EU-XFEL as well as the 3,9 GHZ injector module is equipped with a combination of beam position monitors, superconducting quadrupole and a gate valve connected to the beam position monitor. The subunits are prequalified by the different work package of the EU-XFEL collaboration and handover to the DESY cleanroom. These subunits are assembled in the DESY ISO 4 cleanroom to unit named BQU, quality controlled in respect of cleanliness and handover in status “ready for assembly in ISO 4 cleanroom” for string assembly to the ISO 4 cleanroom located at CEA France. Series production started with production sequences of one unit per week and needed to be accelerated up to five or six units per month (>=1.25 units per week) in beginning of 2015. Analysis of data taken during production and the optimization of work flow for higher production rates are presented.

For the application of high intensity continuous wave (CW) proton beam acceleration, a new superconducting accelerating structure for extremely low β proton working in TE210 mode has been proposed at Peking University. The cavity consists of eight electrodes and eight accelerating gaps. The RF frequency is 162.5MHz, and the designed proton input energy is 200keV. A peak field optimization has been performed for the lower surface field. The accelerating gaps are adjusted by phase sweeping based on KONUS beam dynamics. Solenoids are placed outside the cavity to provide transverse focusing. Numerical calculation shows that the transverse defocusing of the KONUS phase is about three times smaller than that of the conventional negative synchronous RF phase. The beam dynamics of a 10mA CW proton beam is simulated by the TraceWin code. The simulation results show that the beam’s size is under effective control. Both the simulation and the numerical calculation show that the cavity has a relatively high effective accelerating gradient of 2.6MV/m. Our results show that this new accelerating structure may be a possible candidate for superconducting operation at such a low energy range.

An Accelerated Life Test (ALT) of the Phytron stepper motor used in the LCLS-II cavity tuner is being carried out at JLab. Since the motor will reside inside the cryomodule, any failure would lead to a very costly and arduous repair. As such, the motor will be tested for the equivalent of five lifetimes before being approved for use in the production cryomodules. The 9-cell LCLS-II cavity will be simulated by disc springs with an equivalent spring constant. Hysteresis plots of the motor position vs. tuner position – measured via an installed linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) – will be used to determine any drift from the required performance. The titanium spindle will also be inspected for loss of lubrication. This paper outlines the ALT plan and latest results.
