  Standard vertical Buffered Chemical Polishing (BCP) is one of the main surface treatment for Superconducting Radiofrequency (SRF) cavities. A finite element Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model has been developed. Uncertainties in the solution of fluid simulations are not negligible due to the complex geometry of a SRF cavity; thus without an experimental validation, results from this type of simulations cannot be confidently used to improve the process. To this aim, an experimental study was started to investigate the fluid dynamics of the BCP process by means of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique. Similitude on Reynolds number and Refractive Index Matching (RIM) technique were also implemented to replace the dangerous BCP mixture with a glycerine-water mixture. The paper describes the preliminary results from simulations and experiment.

  INFN Milano contributes in-kind to the ESS ERIC Superconducting Linac supplying 36 cavities for the Medium Beta section of the proton accelerator. The production has reached completion, being all the cavities mechanical fabricated, BCP treated and, for most of them, also qualified with vertical test at cold. In this paper, we report on the results and lessons learnt and the actions taken both for quality control managing and recovery of the few cavities that did not reach the project goal after the first qualification test.

  INFN joined the international effort for the PIP-II project at Fermilab and it’s going to contribute to the low-beta section of the PIP-II proton linac. In particular, INFN-LASA is finalizing its commitment to deliver in kind the full set of the LB650 cavities, namely 36 plus spares 5-cell cavities at 650 MHz and geometrical beta 0.61. All cavities, designed by INFN-LASA, will be produced and surface treated in industry, qualified through vertical cold test, and delivered as ready for string installation. This paper reports the status of INFN’s contribution to PIP-II and of ongoing activities toward the experimental qualifications of infrastructures and prototypes.

  This paper reports on the first results obtained by INFN-LASA on PIP-II low-beta cavity prototypes. The goal of this activity was to validate the reference surface treatment based on Electropolishing as a bulk removal step. The cavity treatment procedures are here presented together with the strategy used for their optimization. The experimental results of cavity cold tests for a single cell prototype are presented and discussed. Having this cavity achieved the requested performance, the baseline procedure is considered as validated and a plan for a future high-Q cavity surface treatment is proposed.
