| Abstract |
The Mainz Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA) will be a new recirculating accelerator, which can operate in an external beam mode and an energy recovering mode. In the ERL-mode the electrons cross an internal gas-target at MAGIX and give their kinetic energy into the Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) system back after experimental use. The MESA cryomodules are based on ELBE-type cryomodules, which contain two 9-cell TESLA/XFEL-type cavities. For any maintenance the clean room infrastructure at the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) can be used. Currently, a cryomodule from the decommissioned ALICE ERL at Daresbury, UK is in the process of refurbishment. The refurbishment includes an HPR rinse of the cavities suffering from field emission at present and various adjustments of the module for a future use in MESA, which includes adding piezo tuners and new HOM antennas. For the new antennas, different superconducting coatings (Nb₃Sn and NbTiN) will be tested to reach higher critical temperatures in the future for giving the possibility to couple out more HOM power without quenching as the prospected cw beamload lays above 4 mA in MESA ERL operation. Using a superconducting 3 GHz six-cell injector cavity for the S-DALINAC the successful refurbishment of a SRF cavity by applying a high pressure rinse in the clean room infrastructure at HIM was demonstrated the first time.
