  Superconducting cavities for a variety of recent projects are produced and prepared for operation in industry. We report on test results of those cavities produced and prepared at ACCEL. The preparation of the cavities includes chemical treatment (BCP), rinsing with high pressure water and assembly in a clean room. The following cavity types were treated: 400 MHz single cell cavities for LHC, 500 MHz single cell cavities of the Cornell CESR design for our superconducting accelerating modules, 1300 MHz TESLA type cavities, 176 MHz and 160 MHz halfwave resonators and a 352 MHz CH-mode cavity for ion accelaration.

  BESSY has recently constructed the HoBiCaT cryogenic test facility for superconducting TESLA cavity units, including all ancillary devices (helium tank, input coupler, tuner, magnetic shielding). It is designed to house two such units in a configuration similar to that envisaged for the superconducting CW linac of the BESSY FEL. These units are presently being fabricated, prepared and assembled by industry. HoBiCaT will be used to address many of the issues that must be considered prior to finalizing the design of the proposed linac. Rapid turn-around-tests permit the investigation of items such as RF regulation, microphonic detuning and cryogenic parameters/achievable pressure stability. These test will also serve as the first step towards qualifying the industrial production of assembled cavity units. The commissioning of HoBiCaT is scheduled for Spring 2004 and the current status is presented here.  
 
TUPKF018 Surface Morphology at the Quench Site site 1000

  It has been demonstrated recently that local magnetic field enhancement can originate from roughness (e.g. steps at grain boundaries). We are willing to investigate if the quench observed in superconducting niobium cavities can be related to such morphological defects. We recently developed two kinds of tool. 1) A replica technique that allows to reproduce the internal surface of cavities (non destructive testing). 2) A morphological analysis tool. Classical roughness measurements are not adapted to determine local curvature radius.This paper describes a new topological approach aiming at a better characterization of the surface morphology. We also present results of this technique applied to replica taken from cavities at the quench site.

  We have built a 161 MHz, b=0.16 superconducting Quarter Wave Resonator with steering correction for the low beta section of RIA. This bulk niobium, double wall cavity, compatible with both separate vacuum between beam line and cryostats or unified one, was designed in collaboration between MSU-NSCL and LNL. The design is suitable for extension to other frequencies, e.g. to obtain the 80 MHz, beta=0.085 cavity required in RIA. The shaped drift tube allows correction of the residual QWR steering that can cause emittance growth especially in light ions; this could make this resonator a good alternative to Half-Wave resonators in high intensity proton-deuteron linacs, like the SPES injector project at LNL. First test results will be presented.

  The refurbishing, by replacing the Pb superconducting film by Nb, of ALPI QW accelerating resonators was completed in 2003. All the 52 cavities are now in operation showing a large increase in the average accelerating field, which exceeds 4.5 MV/m (21 MV/m pick electrical surface field). The performance of renewed resonators has been increasing with time reaching 6MV/m in the last produced units. The increase in ALPI performance and the advantage in conditioning and setting time obtained by the upgrading process will be reported.

The cavities have been designed to minimize peak electric and magnetic fields, with a goal of 8.5 MV/m of accelerating gradient, at a Q > 5E9. The cavities are currently in the testing stage and the results of the vertical tests will be presented at this conference.  
 
TUPKF056 Multipacting in Crossed RF Fields near Cavity Equator electron, simulation 1075
 
  • V.D. Shemelin

  Electric and magnetic fields near the cavity equator are presented in a form of expansions up to the third power of coordinates. Comparisons with numerical calculations made with the SLANS code for the TESLA and other cavity cells, as well as with the analytical solution for a spherical cavity are done. These fields are used for solution of equations of motion. It appears that for description of motion, the only main terms of the expansion are essential, but the value of coefficients for the electric field components depend on details of magnetic field behavior on the boundary. Equations of motion are solved for electrons moving in crossed RF fields near the cavity equator. Based on the analysis of these equations, general features of this kind of multipacting are obtained. Results are compared with simulations and experimental data. The "experimental" formulas for multipacting zones are explained and their dependence on the cavity geometries is shown. Developed approach allows evaluation of multipacting in a cavity without simulations but after an analysis of fields in the equatorial region. The fields can be computed by any code used for cavity calculation.

  Hurricane Isabel, originally a Category 5 storm, arrived at Jefferson Lab on September 18 with winds of only 75 mph creating little direct damage to the infrastructure. However, electric power was lost for four days allowing the superconducting cryomodules to warm up and causing a total loss of the liquid helium. The subsequent recovery of the cryomodules and the impact of the considerable amount of opportunistic preventive maintenance provides important lessons for all accelerators complexes, not only those with superconducting elements. The details of how the recovery process was structured and the resulting improvement in accelerator availability will be discussed in detail.

  Nb/Cu technology for superconducting cavities has proven to be over the years a viable alternative to bulk niobium. Energetic vacuum deposition is a very unique alternative method to grow niobium thin film on copper. Single crystal growth of niobium on sapphire substrate has been achieved as well as good surface morphology of niobium on small copper samples. The design of a cavity deposition system is in development. This paper presents the exploratory studies of the influence of the deposition energy on the Nb thin film properties. Several possible venues to achieve Nb/Cu cavity deposition with this technique are also discussed along with the design of the cavity deposition setup under development.  
 
WEOACH03 Achievement of 35 MV/m in the TESLA Superconducting Cavities Using Electropolishing as a Surface Treatment linac, electron, collider, coupling 129
 
  • L. Lilje
    DESY, Hamburg
  The Tera Electronvolt Superconducting Linear Accelerator TESLA is the only linear electron-positron collider project based on superconductor technology for particle accelaration. In the first stage with 500 GeV center-of-mass energy an accelerating field of 23.4MV/m is needed in the superconducting niobium cavities which are operated at a temperature of 2 K and a quality factor Q0 of 1010. This performance has been reliably achieved in the cavities of the TESLA Test Facility (TTF) accelerator. The upgrade of TESLA to 800 GeV requires accelerating gradients of 35 MV/m. Using an improved cavity treatment by electrolytic polishing it has been possible to raise the gradient to 35 - 43 MV/m in single cell resonators. Here we report on the successful transfer of the electropolishing technique to multi-cell cavities. Presently four nine-cell cavities have achieved 35 MV/m at Q_0 = 5 × 109, and a fifth cavity could be excited to 39 MV/m. In two high-power tests it could be verified that EP-cavities preserve their excellent performance after welding into the helium cryostat and assembly of the high-power coupler. One cavity has been operated for 1100 hours at the TESLA-800 gradient of 35 MV/m and 57 hours at 36 MV/m without loss in performance.

  S-LSR is a low energy ion storage/cooler ring. It has 12-quadrupole magnets (QM) with a bore radius of 70 mm and a maximum field gradient of 5 T/m. To suppress and control a magnetic flux in a fringing field of a bending magnet (BM), a field clamp with a thickness of 25 mm was installed in between BM and QM. The distance between the field clamp and QM is 80 mm. 3D calculation represented that the QM field is strongly influenced by the field clamp. Therefore, QMs were designed and optimized in considering the influence of the field clamp. Magnetic field measurements were performed by means of a Hall probe and a long search coil. A magnet field measurement by a Hall probe was carried out together with the field clamp and BM for S-LSR. For 12-quadrupole magnets, the measurement by the long search coil which moves in horizontal direction was carried out. The results for each measurements will be discussed.

  The dipole with a coil made from HTS composite on a Bi2223 basis and placed in the ferromagnetic yoke has been developed and produced in IHEP. A designed magnetic field of the dipole in 20-mm aperture is 1 T at temperature of liquid nitrogen. The numerical analysis of factors, having influence on thermal stability of the magnet, as well as the computer simulations of dipole heating during quench was carried out. An anisotropy of voltage-current characteristics of HTS tapes in a magnetic field is taken into account in calculations of quench process. The measured results of voltage-current characteristics during powering and quench of the coil are in a good agreement with the numerical calculations

  To optimize the performance of the Fermilab Tevatron accelerator in Collider Run II, we have undertaken a systematic study of the drift and subsequent snapback of dipole magnet harmonics. The study has mostly focused on the dynamic behavior of the normal sextupole component, b2, as measured in a sample of spare Tevatron dipoles at the Fermilab Magnet Test Facility. We measured the dependence of the decay amplitude and the snapback time on Tevatron ramp parameters and magnet operational history. A series of beam studies was also performed [*]. This paper summarizes the magnetic measurement results and describes an optimization of the b2 correction scheme which is derived from these measurements.
