  Recent findings that cooling conditions affect an amount of trapped magnetic flux attract much attention as a way to achieve a high-Q0 by SRF cavity*,**,***. Q0~2*1011 has already been achieved by the full flux expulsion****. While much experimental studies have been conducted, not much theoretical progress followed on it. In this paper, I introduce a simple model that can explain how trapped fluxoids are expelled in cooling process.

  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.

  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.

  High pressure rinsing (HPR) treatment has been widely used in the SRF cavity fabrication. This well- known process helps remove effectively undesirable emission tips from the inner surface of cavities, which are responsible for a different level's multipaction and hellium quenching. Also, the HPR treatment can clean or polish the RF (Radio Frequency) surface, which is critically sensitive to an applied magnetic field, by removing contaminants such as an organic oil, a remnant metal debris and dirty etchants from the cavity surface. Consequently, the HPR treatment contributes to improve quality factor during the cavity operation both by decreasing various field emission sites and by removing defects from the cavity surface. In this paper, we performed HPR experiments by using a simplified cavity structure, intentionally painted with a pattern on the inner surface. Therefore, we report how the surface treatment by HPR was carried out as functions of the distance between a target to be cleaned and a nozzle, and a water pressure.

Current superconducting radio frequency (SRF) technology, used in various particle accelerator facilities is reliant upon bulk Nb. Due to technological advancements in the processing of bulk Nb cavities, the facilities have reached accelerating fields very close to material-dependent limits, i.e. ~50 MV/m for bulk Nb. One possible solution to overcome this limit proposed by A. Gurevich consists of the deposition of alternating thin layers of superconducting and insulating materials on the interior surface of the cavities which may prevent early field penetration and thus delay high field breakdown*. Some candidate materials proposed for this scheme are NbN and NbTiN. Here we present experimental results correlating film microstructure and surface morphology with superconducting properties on coupon samples made with NbN and NbTiN. We have achieved thin films with close to bulk-like lattice parameters and transition temperatures, while achieving Hc1 values larger than bulk for films thinner than their London penetration depths. We compare results from samples grown utilizing NbTi targets with different stoichiometries and we will show RF measurements from 2” coupon samples.

  The production of superconducting coatings for radio frequency cavities is a rapidly developing field that should ultimately lead to acceleration gradients greater than those obtained by bulk Nb RF cavities. Optimizing superconducting properties of Nb and Nb compound thin-films is therefore essential. Nb films were deposited by magnetron sputtering in pulsed DC mode onto Si (100) and MgO (100) substrates and also by high impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) onto Si (100), MgO (100) and polycrystalline Cu. HiPIMS was then used to deposit NbN and NbTiN thin films onto Si(100) and polycrystalline Cu. The films were characterised using scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, DC SQUID magnetometry and Q factor for a flat thin film sample.

  Multipacting is a common issue in the context of cathode units of superconducting radiofrequency photoinjectors (SRF-guns) utilized in linear accelerators under resonant conditions. In this study, Titanium Nitride (TiN) and Carbon thin films have been prepared by DC and RF magnetron sputtering in a Nitrogen and Argon plasma discharge, respectively. Films featuring a thickness of about 600 nm were produced under various deposition conditions on substrates such as Copper, Molybdenum, and Silicon. Materials characterization was carried out utilizing SEM, Raman and FTIR spectroscopy, XRD and AFM. In order to evaluate the SEY a new device is introduced, which is capable of quasi in-situ measurements. The latter is realized by connecting the coating-, the SEY- and a contamination chamber into one setup allowing sample transfer under UHV conditions. Even after an exposure to air carbon shows SEY values down to 0.69. This value, however, turns out to be quite sensitive with respect to the actual surface morphology. Clean TiN surfaces, on the other hand, displayed a SEY value as low as 1.4. In this case the SEY value is strongly affected by potential surface contamination.

Cost and energy savings are an integral requirement in the design of future particle accelerators. Very low losses SRF accelerating systems, together with high-efficiency cryogenics systems, have the potential of low running costs. The association to the capital cost reduction allowed by thin films coated copper cavities may represent the best overall cost-performance compromise. This strategy has been applied for instance in LEP, the LHC and HIE-ISOLDE with the niobium thin films technology. New materials must be considered to improve the quality factor of the cavities, such as Nb3Sn, which could also ideally operate at higher temperature thus allowing further energy savings. The study considers the possibility to coat a copper resonator with an Nb3Sn layer by means of magnetron sputtering using an alloyed target. We present the impact of the process parameters on the as-deposited layer stoichiometry. The latter is in good agreement with previous results reported in the literature and can be tuned by acting on the coating pressure. The effect of post-coating annealing temperature on the morphology, crystallinity and superconducting properties of the film was also investigated.

  Serial production of superconducting cavities for European-XFEL will be completed at E.ZANON by the end of 2015. For that reason we can summarize the results and present the statistics of industrial cavity fabrication. Many parameters have been traced during different steps of cavity production. The most interesting of them, as cavity length, frequency, field flatness and eccentricity, are presented and discussed.

  The development of superconducting RF gun has been started at KEK. The performance targets are that average current is 100 mA, normalized emittance is less than 1 μm.rad, beam energy is 2 MeV and energy spread is less than 0.1 %. The SRF gun consists of 1.3 GHz and 1.5 cell elliptical cavity and backward illuminated photocathode. The cavity shape was designed by using SUPERFISH and GPT. The cavity has been fabricated by Japanese industry. Accelerating field tuning and vertical test without cathode plug was done. The surface peak electric field reached 66 MV/m, and this meet the target value 42 MV/m sufficiently. For next vertical test, cathode rod without photocathode is in preparation. In the workshop, the SRF-Gun concepts and vertical test results will be reported.
