  MuSR is a powerful tool to probe local magnetism and hence can be used to diagnose flux penetration in Type-II superconductors. Samples produced at TRIUMF and with collaborators in both coin shaped and ellipsoidal geometries have been characterized by applying either transverse or parallel fields between 0 and 300mT and measuring flux entry as a function of applied field. Samples include Nb treated in standard ways including forming, chemistry, and heat treatments. Further, Nb samples have been doped with Nitrogen and coated with a 2 micron layer of Nb3Sn by collaborators from FNAL and Cornell respectively and measured in three field/geometry configurations. Analysis of the method in particular the effects of geometry and the role of pinning will be presented. Results of the measurements will be presented.

  Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) are comprised of high power accelerators supplying a proton beam to a reactor vessel. The reactor vessel could contain fuels such as used uranium nuclear fuels or Thorium. The proton beam will be used to produce Neutrons by spallation in the reactor vessel. Technology readiness levels (TRL’s) can be used to chart technology status with respect to end goal and as such can be used to outline a road map to complete an ADS system. TRL1 defines basic principles observed and reported, whereas TRL9 is defined as system ready for full scale deployment. SRF technology when applied to ADS reflects a mix of TRL levels since worldwide many SRF Accelerators are in operation. The paper will identify the building blocks of an ADS accelerator and analyze each for technical readiness for industrial scale deployment. The integrated ADS structure is far more complex than the individual systems, but the use of proven sub-systems allows to build SRF accelerators that could deliver the beam required. An analysis of the technical readiness of SRF technology for ADS will be presented.

  The ARIEL eLINAC is a 50 MeV 10 mA electron LINAC. Once finished, five cavities will each provide 10MV of effective accelerating voltage. At the present time two cavities have been installed and successfully accelerated been above specifications of 10 MV/m at a Q0 of 1010. The next cavities are already in the pipeline and being processed. In addition, one additional cavity has been produced for our collaboration with VECC, India. This cavity has been tested and installed in a cryomodule identical to the eLINAC injector cryomodule. New developments for single cell testing at TRIUMF are a T-mapping system developed in collaboration with UoT and vertical EP for single cells. The progress of the performance after each treatment step has been measured and will be shown. measured and will be shown.

  A setup for electropolishing of a superconducting niobium single-cell cavity has been installed at TRIUMF. A vertical method was selected to make the setup compact. To increase removal speed at the equator and remove hydrogen bubbles at the iris surface, 4 cathode paddles were rotated in the cavity cell during electropolishing. We will report on our first electropolishing result.

  TRIUMF e-lianc was commissioning last September for the first stage. High power rf systems were in operation stable. Two 300 kW klystrons along with the key waveguide components were tested before feeding rf power into 1.3 GHz 9-cell superconducting cavities. The rf high power variable divider and 360 degree waveguide phase shifters are working successfully. The simulations on different waveguide structures for the power dividers, phase shifters have been studied. The comparisons of the calculation results are reported in the paper. The rf signal level tests of the components and waveguide distribution systems will also be present in this paper.

  The SRF group at TRIUMF has tested samples relevant for SRF application since 2010 using the TRIUMF μSR facility. In this study collaborators at Cornell coat a Nb coin and a Nb ellipsoid sample with Nb3Sn for characterization using μSR at TRIUMF. Field of first flux entry measurements are performed at M20 on both samples. Measurements include the vortex nucleation field Hnucleate and Tc of both Nb3Sn and Nb. Interestingly the Nb3Sn increases the vortex nucleation field at 2K over standard Nb samples.

  β=0.12, f=162.5 MHz half-wave resonator for Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP) was recently tested at TRIUMF. We briefly report the vertical test result: At 2K, the cavity achieved Q0=2·109 at Eacc=6.4 MV/m and the performance was limited at Eacc=7.8 MV/m by intense field emission. The surface processing was standard: 120 micron buffered chemical polishing followed by high pressure rinsing. After first cold test, 120C baking was done and the corresponding result was also obtained.

At the moment TRIUMF operates one superconductive radio-frequency (SRF) accelerator and is building the second one. The superconducting heavy ion linear accelerator of the Isotope Separation and Acceleration (ISAC) facility utilizes medium beta quarter wave cavities cooled down to 4 K. The Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory (ARIEL) is a major expansion of the ISAC facility. ARIEL SRF electron linear accelerator (e-linac) operates nine-cell TESLA type cavities at 2 K. Both accelerators have dedicated cryogenic systems including liquid helium plants and distribution systems. In addition to accelerator cryogenic support, ISAC cryoplant provides liquid helium for the SRF testing facility at both 4 K and 2 K temperatures. TRIUMF’s SRF development involves both SRF testing facility and accelerators cryogenic support systems. This paper presents the details of the SRF testing cryogenic systems as well as recent commissioning results of the new e-linac cryogenic system.

  TRIUMF ARIEL[1](The Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory) project employs five 1.3 GHz 9-cell superconducting elliptical cavities[2] for acceleration of 10 mA electron beam up to energy of 50 MeV. 100 kW CW RF power will be delivered into each cavity by means of pair of Power Couplers: 50 kW per each coupler. Before installing the power couplers with the cavities, they have to be assembled on Power Coupler Test Stand(PCTS) and conditioned with a 30 kW IOT. Six couplers have been conditioned at room temperature and four of them have been installed to the cavities and tested during beam commissioning. Test results of the power couplers will be described and discussed in this paper.

  TRIUMF's ARIEL project includes a 50 MeV-10mA electron linear accelerator (e-Linac) using 1.3 GHz superconducting technology. The accelerator consists of three cryomodules; an injector cryomodule with one cavity and two accelerating cryomodules with two cavities each. One injector and one accelerator have been assembled and commissioned at TRIUMF with a second injector cryomodule being assembled for VECC in Kolkata. Both Injector and Accelerator cryomodules utilize a top-loaded cold mass design contained in a box-type cryomodule; design and early test results of both cryomodules are presented.
