	Surface imperfections significantly limit the performance of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. The development of surface topography techniques aims to locate the surface flaws in an SRF cavity and profile their geometry details. This effort plays an important role of quality control in cavity productions as well as provides contour information of the defects for understanding quench mechanisms. The surface topography techniques at Cornell University include an optical inspection system and surface replica technique. In this paper, we present the details of the techniques and show features found in the SRF cavities at Cornell.

	To demonstrate key parameters of a an energy recovery linac (ERL) at Cornel, an injector based on a photo gun and an SRF cryomodule was designed and built. The goal was to demonstrate high current generation while achieving low emittances. While the emittance goal has been reached, the current achieved so far is 75 mA. Even though this is a world record, it is still below the targeted 100 mA. While ramping up the current we observed excessive heating in the fundamental power coupler which we were able to track down to insufficient cooling of the 80 K intercepts. These intercepts are cooled by a stream of parallel cryogenic flows which we found to be unbalanced. In this paper we will review the finding, describe the analysis we did, modeling of the parallel flow and the modifications made to the module to overcome the heating.

	Cornell University is developing the plasma cleaning technology as an alternative cleaning technique for SRF cavity surface preparation. In experiments, we successfully ignited the plasma in a single-cell SRF cavity. However the experiments were limited by the peak electric-fields in the RF coupler. In this paper, we show the analysis of the limitation and propose a new design of the coupler which can eliminate the limitation.

WEPMR023	Surface Analysis Studies of Nb3Sn Thin Films	2316
	D.L. Hall, J.J. Kaufman, M. Liepe, J.T. Maniscalco Cornell University (CLASSE), Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-Based Sciences and Education, Ithaca, New York, USA
	A recent study to optimise the coating of thin-film Nb3Sn cavities has resulted in coating procedures that can fabricate 1.3 GHz cavities capable of reproducibly achieving fields of >16 MV/m with record high Qs >10¹⁰ at 4.2 K. However, the performance of these next generation SRF cavities is as yet well below the theoretical maximum performance expected of Nb3Sn, thus giving ample room for further advancements. Current measurements strongly suggest that the current limits are due to local defects and irregularities in the coated surface. In this paper we analyse, using methods including SEM/EDS, TEM, XRD and EBSD, the surface of both sample coupons and cavity cut-outs, with a view to identifying and understanding the origin of surface non-uniformities that would lead to increased surface resistance and cavity quench.

	A single-cell 1.3 GHz ILC-shape thin-film Nb3Sn-on-Nb cavity recently achieved accelerating gradients of >16 MV/m with a record Q0 of approx. 2·10¹⁰ at 4.2 K, exceeding the power efficiency seen in the current most efficient niobium cavities. A concurrent study of the coating process has resulted in a coating procedure that is capable of replicating this performance in other single-cell cavities. In this paper we demonstrate the RF performance and behaviour of these next generation SRF cavities, with an emphasis on both the impact from both external magnetic fields and the cavity cool down procedure on cavity performance.

	Funding: NSF, DOE Nitrogen-doping has been shown to consistently produce better quality factors in SRF cavities than is achievable with standard preparation techniques. Unfortunately, nitrogen-doping typically brings with it lower quench fields and higher sensitivities of residual resistance to trapped magnetic flux. Here we present work to understand these effects in hopes of mitigating them while maintaining the high Q desired by future projects. Using a nitrogen diffusion simulation, material parameters of nitrogen-doped cavities can be predicted prior to doping. These simulations results are consistent with SIMS data taken from samples treated with cavities. The nature of doping's effect on quench field has also been studied using CW and pulsed measurements. These results have allowed us to better understand the nature of nitrogen-doping and its effect on cavity performance.

WEPMR026	RF Losses from Trapped Flux in SRF Cavities	2327
	D. Gonnella, J.J. Kaufman, P.N. Koufalis, M. Liepe Cornell University (CLASSE), Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-Based Sciences and Education, Ithaca, New York, USA
	Funding: NSF Previous measurements at Cornell have shown that the sensitivity of residual resistance to trapped magnetic field in SRF cavities is heavily dependent on the mean free path of the RF penetration layer of the niobium. Here we report on a systematic study of ten cavity preparations with different mean free paths and the effect of these preparations on sensitivity to trapped magnetic flux. In the clean limit, longer mean free path leads to a lower sensitivity to trapped magnetic flux while in the dirty limit the opposite is true, shorter mean free path leads to lower sensitivity. These results are also shown to be in good agreement with theoretical predictions of RF losses due to oscillations of vortex lines.

	Funding: NSF, DOE Nitrogen-doping has become a standard tool for reaching high quality factors in SRF cavities in the medium field region at 2 K. This high Q has been shown to be a result of lowering of the temperature dependent BCS resistance. Here we show that this lowering of the BCS resistance is due to interstitial nitrogen in the niobium lowering the mean free path. The BCS resistance extracted from experimental data is shown to be consistent with theoretical predictions from BCS theory; that there is an optimal doping of which the mean free path is lowered to about half the intrinsic coherence length. These results provide insight into understanding the mechanisms behind nitrogen-doping and allow us to more accurately predict doping parameters to reach optimal cavity performance.

	Experiments have shown that the temperature-dependent portion of the RF surface resistance of SRF materials also exhibits a dependence on the magnitude of the surface field, manifested as a "Q-slope" or "anti-Q-slope" in the medium field region. Recent theoretical work proposes an explanation of the anti-Q-slope in dirty-limit superconductors. In this report, we compare theoretical predictions with the results of systematic experimental studies on the RF field dependence of the surface resistance using 1.3 GHz niobium SRF cavities with a wide range of mean free paths. We find very good agreement between theory and experiment in the dirty limit, with some divergence as the cavities approach the clean limit.

	High-power pulsed (HPP) measurements of SRF cavities offer several different avenues of experimentation from standard continuous wave (CW) measurements by probing higher fields and reducing thermal effects. In this paper we report upon recent measurements of N-doped Nb and Nb3Sn cavities, investigating the limitations of the superheating field, flux entry field, and other maximum fields. We also investigate the potential of these materials for operation in a pulsed accelerator, which would partially or fully mitigate the effects of defects (i.e. thermal quenches).

Previous studies have shown an increase in the intrinsic quality factor and the corresponding decrease of the temperature-dependent component of the surface resistance of nitrogen-doped cavities with increasing accelerating field.* Here we investigate the effects of alternative inert dopants on the surface resistance and thus the intrinsic quality factor of SRF cavities in pursuit of the optimal dopant and doping level.

Nitrogen-doping has become a standard tool for reaching high quality factors in SRF cavities in the medium field region at 2 K. This high Q has been shown to be a result of lowering of the temperature dependent BCS resistance. Here we show that this lowering of the BCS resistance is due to interstitial nitrogen in the niobium lowering the mean free path. The BCS resistance extracted from experimental data is shown to be consistent with theoretical predictions from BCS theory; that there is an optimal doping of which the mean free path is lowered to about half the intrinsic coherence length. These results provide insight into understanding the mechanisms behind nitrogen-doping and allow us to more accurately predict doping parameters to reach optimal cavity performance.

Experiments have shown that the temperature-dependent portion of the RF surface resistance of SRF materials also exhibits a dependence on the magnitude of the surface field, manifested as a "Q-slope" or "anti-Q-slope" in the medium field region. Recent theoretical work proposes an explanation of the anti-Q-slope in dirty-limit superconductors. In this report, we compare theoretical predictions with the results of systematic experimental studies on the RF field dependence of the surface resistance using 1.3 GHz niobium SRF cavities with a wide range of mean free paths. We find very good agreement between theory and experiment in the dirty limit, with some divergence as the cavities approach the clean limit.

Cornell has developed a TE mode sample host microwave cavity in order to study large, flat samples of novel SRF materials. In recent calibration tests, the cavity was shown to reach peak magnetic fields on the sample plate of >100 mT and a quality factor Q₀ greater than 10¹⁰, making it a powerful system to study the performance of superconductors at high RF fields with nOhms sensitivity. In this report we present results of measurements of two samples of thin-film Nb deposited on Cu using HiPIMS at 500 C and at 800 C.

High-power pulsed (HPP) measurements of SRF cavities offer several different avenues of experimentation from standard continuous wave (CW) measurements by probing higher fields and reducing thermal effects. In this paper we report upon recent measurements of N-doped Nb and Nb3Sn cavities, investigating the limitations of the superheating field, flux entry field, and other maximum fields. We also investigate the potential of these materials for operation in a pulsed accelerator, which would partially or fully mitigate the effects of defects (i.e. thermal quenches).

Impurity doping of bulk-niobium superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities is a relatively new field of study and the underlying physics is not yet fully understood. Previous studies have shown an increase in the intrinsic quality factor and the corresponding decrease of the temperature-dependent component of the surface resistance of nitrogen-doped cavities with increasing accelerating field.* Here we investigate the effects of alternative inert dopants on the surface resistance and thus the intrinsic quality factor of SRF cavities in pursuit of the optimal dopant and doping level.
