| For the upgrade of CEBAF to 12 GeV two types of 7-cell cavities have been developed: the High Gradient type (HG) has been optimized with respect to the ratio of Epeak/Eacc and for the Low Loss (LL) type the shunt impedance has been maximized. Each cavity type features four DESY type coaxial HOM couplers and a waveguide input coupler. Design goals for these cavities have been set to Eacc = 20 MV/m with a Q-value at 2.05 K of Q0 = 8·109. A niobium prototype of each cavity has been fabricated at JLab and in a first test the HG cavity has been evaluated at cryogenic temperatures after appropriate buffered chemical polishing. Data for Q(E) were taken at several temperatures after R(T) was measured during initial pump down. In addition the pressure sensitivity as well as the Lorentz force detuning were evaluated. The damping of approximately 20 High Order Modes was measured to verify the room temperature data. Measurements on the LL prototype are in progress. We present in this contribution a summary of measured results of tests we performed on the new proposed shapes of the upgrade cavities. |
