  The Five-cell Elliptical Superconducting Radio-Frequency Cavities (SRFC) provide the final acceleration in the JAEA-ADS linac (from 208 MeV to 1.5 GeV); thus, their performance is essential for the success of the JAEA-ADS project. After their optimization of the cavity geometry to achieve a high acceleration gradient with lower electromagnetic peaks, the next step in the R&D strategy is the accurate estimation of beam-cavity effects which can affect the performance of the cavities. To this end, multipacting studies were developed to investigate its effect in the cavity operation regimen and find countermeasures. The results of this study will help in the development of the SRFC models and in the consolidation of the JAEA-ADS project.

  As Nb superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities are now approaching the theoretical limits of the material, a variety of different surface treatments have been developed to further improve their performance; although no fully understood theory is yet available. Small superconducting samples are studied to characterize their material properties and their evolution under different surface treatments. To study the RF properties of such samples under realistic SRF conditions at low temperatures, a test cavity called quadrupole resonator (QPR) is currently being fabricated. In this work we report the status of the QPR at Universität Hamburg in collaboration with DESY. Our device is based on the QPRs operated at CERN and at HZB and its design will allow for testing samples under cavity-like conditions, i.e., at temperatures between 2K and 8 K, under magnetic fields up to 120mT and with operating frequencies of 433 MHz, 866 MHz and 1300 MHz. Fabrication tolerance studies on the electromagnetic field distributions and simulations of the static detuning of the device, together with a status report on the current manufacturing process, will be presented.

MOPAB379 Topological Optimization on SRF Cavities for Nuclear and High Energy Physics 1162

  Topology optimization has been developed for more than twenty years. The progress of additive manufacturing boosts the development in topological optimization since the design can be completely innovated and realized by 3D printing. The potential for cost reductions thanks to weight minimization give an interesting perspective for the small production of niobium superconducting radio-frequency cavities, commonly used in accelerators. The traditional manufacturing technologies of cavities are based on multi-stage processes while additive manufacturing technologies can built fully functional parts in a single operation. For modern accelerators that use superconducting linac, including energy recovery linacs (ERLs), it is particularly important to know the perspectives of additive manufacturing for SRF cavities. In this paper, we try to build a preliminary perception of topological optimization in superconducting cavities manufacturing innovation.

High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) is a 6 GeV diffraction-limited synchrotron light source currently under construction in Beijing. It adopts a double-frequency RF system with 166.6 MHz as fundamental and 499.8 MHz as third harmonic. The fundamental cavity is making use of a superconducting quarter-wave β=1 structure and the third harmonic is of superconducting elliptical single-cell geometry for the storage ring, while normal-conducting 5-cell cavities are chosen for the booster ring. A total of 900 kW RF power shall be delivered to the beam by the 166.6 MHz cavities and the third harmonic cavities are active. All cavities are driven by solid-state power amplifiers and the RF fields are regulated by digital low-level RF control systems. The cavity and ancillaries, high-power RF system and low-level RF control system are in the prototyping phase. This paper presents the current status and progress of the RF system for HEPS.

The High Energy Photo Source (HEPS) project has been under construction since 2019, and will be first diffraction-limited synchrotron light source in China. A 6 GeV electron beam with 200 mA current will be stored in the main ring. If synchrotron light produced from this energetic electron beam hits the superconducting cavity’s surface, it would cause thermal breakdown of the superconductivity. In the current lattice design, these lights cannot be fully blocked by the collimator in the upstream lattice cell, therefore a shielding scheme inside the rf section is required. This however brings great challenges to the already limited space. The design of the collimator has been focused on fulfilling shielding requirements while optimizing beam impedance, synchrotron light power density, thermal and mechanical stabilities. Shielding materials are subsequently chosen with dedicated cooling to ensure long-term stable operations. In this paper, a shielding scheme inside the rf section of the HEPS storage ring is presented. The synchrotron light mainly from the upstream bending magnet is successfully block. The sensitivity to beam position movement and installation error is also analyzed.

  The pressure test was performed using a fine grain (FG) and a large grain (LG) niobium cavities. The cavity is 1.3 GHz 3-cell TESLA-like shape. The cavity was housed in a steel vessel. Water is supplied into the vessel and the cavity outside is pressurized. The applying pressure and the natural frequency of cavity were measured during the pressure test. The FG and LG cavities were deformed greatly and the pressure dropped suddenly at 3.4 MPa and 1.6 MPa, respectively. The frequency shifted up to 3.4 MHz and 1.3 MHz, respectively. There was no leak after the pressure test, so the cavity did not rupture under above pressure. The result of the pressure at LG cavity is less half than that of the FG cavity. We calculated the stress distribution in the structure by applying outer water pressure using a FEM. The maximum stress at cell when above test pressure is applied, are 146 MPa in FG and 73 MPa in LG, respectively. These stresses are similar to tensile strength of niobium specimen measure by ourselves. The result of pressure tests agrees well with the calculation.

A Superconducting twin axis cavity consisting of two identical beam pipes that can accelerate and decelerate beams within the same structure has been proposed for the Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) applications. There are two niobium twin axis cavities at JLab fabricated with the intention of later Nb3Sn coating and now we are progressing to coat them using vapor diffusion method. Nb3Sn is a potential alternate material for replacing Nb in SRF cavities for better performance and reducing operational costs. Because of advanced geometry, larger surface area, increased number of ports and hard to reach areas of the twin axis cavities, the usual coating approach developed for typical elliptical single-axis cavities must be evaluated and requires to be adjusted. In this contribution, we report the first results from the coating of a twin axis cavity and discuss current challenges with an outlook for the future.

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) to be constructed at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the USA will be a complex system of accelerators providing high luminosity, high polarization, variable center of mass energy collisions between electrons and protons or ions. To achieve this a variety of RF systems are required. They must provide for capture, formation and storage of Ampere-class beams in the electron and hadron storage rings (ESR and HSR), fast acceleration of high-charge polarized electron bunches in the rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS), provision of cold high current electron bunches in the high-energy cooler ERL and precise high-gradient crabbing of electrons and hadrons either side of the interaction point. The challenges include strong HOM damping in the storage ring cavities and cooler ERL, very high fundamental mode power in the ESR and cooler injector, extremely stable low-noise operation of the crab cavities, mitigation of transient beam loading from gaps, and operating over a wide range of energies and beam currents. We describe the high-level system parameters and principal design choices made and progress on the R&D plan to develop these state of the art systems.

  In the framework of the European Spallation Source (ESS), CEA Paris-Saclay is responsible for the delivery of 30 cryomodules (9 medium beta (β = 0.67) and 21 high beta (β = 0.86) ones). Each cryomodule contains 4 elliptical cavities equipped with a radio frequency power coupler. The ESS nominal pulse is 1.1 MW maximum peak power over a width of 3.6 ms at a repetition rate of 14 Hz. The design of the couplers for medium beta and for high beta cavities is the same, except a small difference of the antenna penetration to adjust the Qext. The mass production of the 120 couplers started and all the medium beta couplers have been conditioned at room temperature. The first cryomodules equipped with the power couplers were successfully tested at high RF power and with cavities at 2K reaching the ESS nominal pulse. The main issue at the start of the series production could be fixed and it was due to bad TiN coatings that caused abnormal dielectric losses in the window. Thus, this paper deals with the TiN coating defect, presents the conditioning procedure and gives a conditioning report of these 36 couplers.

A digital low-level radio frequency (LLRF) system by direct sampling has been proposed for 166.6 MHz superconducting cavities at High Energy Photon Source (HEPS). The RF field inside the cavities has to be controlled better than ±0.1% (peak to peak) in amplitude and ±0.1 deg (peak to peak) in phase. Considering that the RF frequency is 166.6 MHz, which is well within the analog bandwidth of modern high-speed ADCs and DACs, direct RF sampling and direct digital modulation can be achieved. A digital LLRF system utilizing direct sampling has therefore been developed with embedded experimental physics and industrial control system (EPICS) in the field programmable gate array (FPGA). The performance in the lab has been characterized in a self-closed loop with a residual peak-to-peak noise of ±0.05% in amplitude and ±0.03 deg in phase, which is well below the HEPS specifications. Further tests on a warm 166.6 MHz cavity in the lab are also presented.

  Rapid progress in the performance of Nb3Sn SRF cavities during the last few years has made Nb3Sn an energy efficient alternative to traditional Nb cavities, thereby initiating a fundamental shift in SRF technology. These Nb3Sn cavities can operate at significantly higher temperatures than Nb cavities while simultaneously requiring less cooling power. This critical property enables the use of new, robust, turn-key style cryogenic cooling schemes based on conduction cooling with commercial cryocoolers. Cornell University has developed and tested a 2.6 GHz Nb3Sn cavity assembly which utilizes such cooling methods. These tests have demonstrated stable RF operation at 10 MV/m and the measured thermal dynamics match what is found in numerical simulations.

MOPAB392 Alternative RF Tuning Methods Performed on Spoke Cavities for ESS and MYRRHA Projects 1196

  In order to obtain the target frequency in operation, the resonant frequency of superconducting radiofrequency cavities is controlled and adjusted from the manufacturing to the end of preparation phase. Reaching this right frequency can be challenging due to the narrow frequency range defined by the tuning sensitivity of the cavity and the capability of the tuner. Mechanical deformation until plasticity is attained is of great interest to tune SRF cavities when large frequency shift is needed. But once a cavity is dressed with its helium tank, the only accessible part is its beam pipe, reducing the mechanical action to a push/pull action. This limited possibility has hence to be skilfully associated with chemical etching. An original mechanical tuning of Spoke dressed cavities consists in increasing the pressure inside the helium tank to induce a permanent deformation of the cavity walls. The frequency shift induced by nonlinear deformation is numerically evaluated in order to determine the pressure increments. Both methods were successfully performed on the cavities of the ESS accelerator and of the Myrrha project.

  The Electron-Ion Collider requires several crabbing systems to facilitate head-on collisions between electron and proton beams in increasing the luminosity at the interaction point. One of the critical rf systems is the 197 MHz crabbing system that will be used in crabbing the proton beam. Many factors such as the low operating frequency, large transverse voltage requirement, tight longitudinal and transverse impedance thresholds, and limited beam line space makes the crabbing cavity design challenging. The rf-dipole cavity design is considered as one of the crabbing cavity options for the 197 MHz crabbing system. The cavity is designed including the HOM couplers, FPC and other ancillaries. This paper presents the detailed electromagnetic design, mechanical analysis, and conceptual cryomodule design of the crabbing system.

  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.

Superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities used in particle accelerators operate in the Meissner state. To achieve high accelerating gradients, the cavity material should stay in the Meissner state under high RF magnetic field without penetration of vortices through the cavity wall. The field onset of flux penetration into a superconductor is an important parameter of merit of alternative superconducting materials other than Nb which can enhance the performance of SRF cavities. There is a need for a simple and efficient technique to measure the onset of field penetration into a superconductor directly. We have developed a Hall probe experimental setup for the measurement of the flux penetration field through a superconducting sample placed under a small superconducting solenoid magnet which can generate magnetic fields up to 500 mT. The system has been calibrated and used to measure different bulk and thin film superconducting materials. This system can also be used to study SIS multilayer coatings that have been proposed to enhance the vortex penetration field in Nb cavities.

The Spallation Neutron Source Proton Power Upgrade cavities are produced by Research Instrument with all the cavity processing done at vendor sites with final chemistry applied to the cavity to be electropolishing. Cavities are delivered to Jefferson Lab, ready to be tested. One of the tasks to be completed before the arrival of production-ready PPU cavities is to develop a robust helium vessel welding protocol. We have successfully developed the process and applied it to three six-cell high beta cavities. Here, we present the summary of RF results, welding process development, and post helium vessel RF results.

Smooth polycrystalline Nb metal foils were treated in dilute gas atmospheres using a temperature of 900 °C. Transmission mode X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EX-AFS) at the Nb K-edge was used to investigate changes in the atomic short-range order structure of the bulk Nb-material in-situ. The experiments were performed in a dedicated high-vacuum cell that allows treatments in a dilute gas atmosphere and temperatures of up to 1200 °C. Typical treatments include (i) pre-heating at 900 °C under high-vacuum, (ii) gas exposure at the desired pressure and temperature, and (iii) cooldown to room temperature under vacuum. EXAFS data were collected during the entire procedure with a time resolution of 1 s. For the treatments in N2 at T = 900°C, the data show subtle changes in the Nb-EXAFS, that are compatible with N-doping of the bulk Nb, and the results suggest Nb uptake on octahedral interstitial sites. However, even a small O2-partial pressure leads to distinct oxidation of the Nb. The results will be discussed in more detail in the presentation.

  A Ferro-Electric fast Reactive Tuner (FE-FRT) is a novel type of RF cavity tuner containing a low loss ferroelectric material. FE-FRTs have no moving parts and allow cavity frequencies to be changed extremely quickly (on the timescale of 100s of ns or less). They are of particular interest for SRF cavities as they can be placed outside the liquid helium environment and without an FE-FRT it’s typically very difficult to tune SRF cavities quickly. FE-FRTs can be used for a wide variety of use cases including microphonics suppression, RF switching, and transient beam loading compensation. This promises entirely new operational capabilities, increased performance and cost savings for a variety of existing and proposed accelerators. An overview of the theory and potential applications will be discussed in detail.

Low-beta and high-beta sections of PIP-II linac will use nine low-beta cryomodules with four cavities each and four high-beta cryomodules with six cavities each. These cavities will be produced and qualified in collaboration between Fermilab and the international partner labs. Prior to their installation into prototype cryomodules, several dressed cavities, which include jacketed cavities, high power couplers, and tuners, will be qualified in STC horizontal test bed at Fermilab. After qualification of bare β = 0.9 cavities at Fermilab, several pre-production β = 0.92 and β = 0.61 cavities have been and are being fabricated and qualified. Procurements have also been started for high power couplers and tuners. In this contribution we present the current status of prototype dressed cavity qualification for PIP-II.

  Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities, a key component of particle accelerators, await new SRF materials beyond the state-of-the-art niobium. Nb3Sn is one of the most competitive candidates, since it increases the superheating field, allows the operation temperature up to 4K, and improves cavity efficiency. Surface roughness and grain boundaries, however, significantly affect the RF performance of current Nb3Sn cavities. Here, we explore a post laser annealing technique to reduce the surface roughness. In doing so, we deposited a TiN laser-absorber on Nb3Sn and Nb surfaces, and then annealed the samples by laser scanning via different laser systems. The Nb3Sn surface roughness was minimized to 101 nm (Ra) by laser annealing via 308 nm, 35 ns pulses. Surface imaging and Fourier analysis revealed laser annealing is able to remove sharp edges and <1 um wavelength features.

The power coupler is development at Korea University for a Single Spoke Resonator (SSR) of heavy ion accelerator. Our power coupler is a coaxial capacitive type based on a conventional 3-1/8 inch electronic industries alliance (EIA) 50 Ω coaxial transmission line with a titanium nitride (TiN) coated single ceramic window. A high power test is rectangular test cavity with high vacuum and various measuring equipment, such as an arc detector, a power meter, and an electron pick-up probe. The interlock system under vacuum and arc instrumentations prevent the RF window from breaking the power coupler window during the high power test. We conduct high power tests for more than 12 hrs at 12 kW in a 325 MHz continous wave (CW) mode to verify the performance of the designed power coupler.

Five 166 MHz quarter-wave β=1 superconducting cavities and two 500 MHz single-cell elliptical superconducting cavities have been designed for the storage ring of High Energy Photon Source (HEPS). It is necessary to shield magnetic field for superconducting cavities to reduce the residual surface resistance due to magnetic flux trapping during cavity cool down. The magnetic shielding for both 166 MHz and 500 MHz superconducting cavities have been designed. The residual magnetic field inside the cavities have been calculated by using Opera-3D simulation software. The geographic location of the cavity being installed at the HEPS site and the fringe field of the upstream magnet are considered. These are reported in this paper.

The lepton collider of the future circular collider (FCC-ee) aims at conducting precision measurements on the Z, W, and H bosons and the top quark. The present RF baseline considers single-cell cavities at 400 MHz for the high current Z-pole working point, four-cell 400 MHz cavities for the W and H working points, and a hybrid RF system composed of four-cell 400 MHz and five-cell 800 MHz cavities for the high energy tt working point. The W working point has shown limitations in the achievable HOM damping for beam stability requirements using four-cell cavities. A two-cell cavity is studied as an alternative scenario for the current W- and H-RF setups with a special focus on HOM damping during the optimization of the RF geometry.

Following successful prototyping and testing of single- & 5-cell LSF shape cavities *, **, the first 9-cell LSF shape cavity LSF9-1 was successfully constructed using an innovative process at JLab with the in-house facilities. The cavity was then shipped to KEK for post-fabrication mechanical adjustment and ILC TDR style treatment and surface processing. Cold testing was carried out at the JLab VTA facility, instrumented with a suite of Kyoto instruments. Favorable values for the bath pressure detuning sensitivity and Lorentz force detuning coefficient were experimentally measured, validating the design improvement in cell stiffeners. Pass-band measurements indicate 4 out of 9 cells reaching gradient capability of > 45 MV/m, including 2 cells reaching 51 MV/m. Cornell OST detectors identified the cell and location responsible for the current hard quench limit. Multipacting-like barriers observed in end cells are investigated both analytically and numerically. The cavity was shipped to FNAL and received a light EP at the joint ANL/FNAL facility for further cold testing at Jlab. Two new 9-cell LSF cavities are being constructed including one made of large-grain niobium material.

One of the significant causes of residual losses in superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities is trapped magnetic flux. The flux trapping mechanism depends on many factors that include cool-down conditions, surface preparation techniques, and ambient magnetic field orientation. Suitable diagnostic tools are not yet available to quantitatively correlate such factors’ effect on the flux trapping mechanism. A magnetic field scanning system (MFSS) consisting of AMR sensors, fluxgate magnetometers, or Hall probes is recently commissioned to scan the local magnetic field of trapped vortices around 1.3 GHz single-cell SRF cavities. In this contribution, we will present results from sensitivity calibration and the first tests of AMR sensors in the MFSS.

WEPAB020 The Relation Between Field Flatness and the Passband Frequency in the Elliptical Cavities 2636
 
  • G.-T. Park, R.A. Rimmer, H. Wang
    JLab, Newport News, Virginia, USA
 
  A technique that predicts the field flatness of the operating pi-mode based on the passband frequency is highly desirable when the direct measurement of the field is not available. Such a technique was developed for the SNS-PPU cavity, a 6-cell SRF cavity whose field flatness is important for cold operation. In this paper, we will present the theory on the relations between field profile and passband frequencies of the arbitrary deformed cavities, the simulation studies, and comparison with the experimental measurements.

WEPAB165 Metamaterial Waveguide HOM Loads for SRF Accelerating Cavities 2994
 
  • S.V. Kuzikov
    Euclid TechLabs, Solon, Ohio, USA
 
  Suppression of beam induced HOMs is necessary for most SRF accelerating cavities driven with high currents. One of the problems in design of a HOM load is that vacuum compatible materials with high enough imaginary part of the dielectric permittivity, which provides absorption, have also a high real part of the permittivity. This does not allow absorbing RF radiation at short distance and in broad frequency band. We propose considering artificial metamaterials where besides lossy dielectric pieces, an absorber with high magnetic permeability is included. In our proposal, we suggest composing a waveguide HOM load of a metamaterial consisted of well-known ceramic and ferrite plates placed periodically in a stack. Such a design provides low return losses, compactness and broad frequency range of the operation.

  Superconductor-Insulator-Superconductor multilayers improve the performance of SRF cavities providing magnetic screening of the bulk cavity and lower surface resistance. In this framework NbTiN mixtures stand as a potential material of interest. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) allows for uniform coating of complex geometries and enables tuning of the stoichiometry and precise thickness control in sub-nm range. In this talk, we report about NbTiN thin films deposited by plasma-enhanced ALD on insulating AlN buffer layer. The deposition process has been optimized by studying the superconducting electrical properties of the films. Post-deposition thermal annealing studies with varying temperatures, annealing times, and gas atmospheres have been performed to further improve the thin film quality and the superconducting properties. Our experimental studies show an increase in Tc by 87.5% after thermal annealing and a maximum Tc of 13.9 K has been achieved for NbTiN of 23 nm thickness. Future steps include lattice characterization, using XRR/XRD/EBSD/PALS, and SRF measurements to obtain Hc1 and the superconducting gap.

The Cornell-BNL ERL Test Accelerator (CBETA) is the first superconducting multi-turn ERL that has been commissioned at Cornell University in a low current mode. In this paper, we first discuss a new model of beam loading which is valid for the low injection energies used in CBETA. Using this model, we explore the effect of bunch patterns, beam turn-on, and turn-off transients on the fundamental mode of the 7-cell SRF cavities used in the main linac. In particular, we examine the operational constraints on the rf system at the design current of 40 mA.

  The HWR (half-wave-resonator) cryomodule is the first one in the superconducting section of the PIP-II LINAC project at Fermilab. PIP-II IT is a test facility for the project where the injector, warm front-end, and the first two superconducting cryomodules are being tested. The HWR cryomodule comprises 8 cavities operating at a frequency of 162.5 MHz and accelerating beam up to 10 MeV. Resonance control of the cavities is performed with a pneumatically operated slow tuner which compresses the cavity at the beam ports. Helium gas pressure in a bellows mounted to an end wall of the cavity is controlled by two solenoid valves, one on the pressure side and one on the vacuum side. The resonant frequency of the cavity can be controlled in one of two modes. A pressure feedback control loop can hold the cavity tuner pressure at a fixed value for the desired resonant frequency. Alternately, the feedback loop can regulate the cavity tuner pressure to bring the RF detuning error to zero. The resonance controller is integrated into the LLRF control system for the cryomodule. The control system design and performance of the resonance control system are described in this paper.

  PIP-II IT is a test facility for the PIP-II project where the injector, warm front-end, and the first two superconducting cryomodules are being tested. The 8-cavity half-wave-resonator (HWR) cryomodule operating at 162.5 MHz is followed by the 8-cavity single-spoke resonator(SSR1) cryomodule operating at 325 MHz. The LLRF systems for both cryomodules are based on a common SOC FPGA-based hardware platform. The resonance control systems for the two cryomodules are quite different, the first being a pneumatic system based on helium pressure and the latter a piezo/stepper motor type control. The data acquisition and control system can support both CW and Pulsed mode operations. Beam loading compensation is available which can be used for both manual/automatic control in the LLRF system. The user interfaces include EPICS, Labview, and ACNET. Testing of the RF system has progressed to the point of being ready for a 2 mA beam to be accelerated to 25 MeV. The design and performance of the field control and resonance control system operation with beam are presented in this paper.

  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.

  The alignment of the SRF PIP-II string components is studied as the acceptable beam deflection, offset and defocusing, which may otherwise cause beam loss. Simulations and measurements established that the maximum deviation of the beam pipe from the reference orbit should not exceed a small fraction of the beam aperture. To observe the translations and rotations of each single component within the cryomodule, optical instruments (H-BCAM) surveying highly reflective targets, installed in the internal assembly of the module were used. The alignment monitoring concept for the PIP II SSR1 prototype cryomodule, along with relevant measurements of the components’ position monitoring during coldmass cooldown is presented in this contribution. This development paves the way to new computer vision applications in the field of cryomodule assemblies in cleanroom environment, in which robotically-assisted operations have the potential to dramatically reduce the risk of chemical and particulate contamination.
