  We had constructed the Cavity Fabrication Facility (CFF) for the fabrication of superconducting RF cavity at KEK from 2009 to 2011. In the facility, we installed a deep-drawing machine, a half-cup trimming machine, an electron-beam welding machine, and a chemical etching room in one place. We started the study on the fabrication of 9-cell cavity for International Linear Collier (ILC) from 2009 using this facility. The study is focusing on the cost reduction with keeping high performance of cavity, and the goal is the establishment of mass-production procedure for ILC. We finished the fabrication of two 9-cell cavities by using tools, machines, and equipment of this facility. This article reports the current status of the studies on fabrication of cavity, including the results of vertical tests for the 9-cell cavities which were fabricated in this facillity.  
 
THPP074 Superconducting Nano-Layer Coating Without Insulator 1026

  Last year, we submitted a theoretical paper on a multilayered structure with a single superconductor layer and a single insulator layer formed on a bulk superconductor, where the magnetic field on the interface of the bulk superconductor were derived with a rigorous calculation of the magnetic field attenuation in the multilayered structure and the general formula for the vortex penetration field of the superconductor layer were computed in terms of the force acting on a vortex. Using the formulae, a combination of the thicknesses of superconductor and insulator layers that can realize the enhanced field limit can be found for any given materials. Then our results on optimum combinations of layer thicknesses and resultant field limits were reproduced by other group, where they carried out the same computation in terms of energy. To confirm these theoretical implications, experiments to measure vortex penetration fields of multilayered superconductors are planned. Theoretical studies to help the planned experiments are also in progress. In this presentation we will explain our ongoing experimental and theoretical studies.

We have launched a development program of a superconducting spoke cavity for electron acceleration, in order to realize a compact industrial-use X-ray source with the laser-Compton scattering. Efforts for optimizing a cavity design by the electromagnetic field simulation, tracking of multipactor electrons and mechanical property calculations have been continued so far. The optimization processes reached the final stage, and studies toward fabrication processes started. In this presentation, we will show results and processes of the optimization. Attempts to fabricate the spoke cavity, which have just begun, will also be presented.

  Optical inspections on superconducting accelerating tubes have been playing an important role on improving their accelerating gradients. Instead of treatments on whole cavity inner surfaces to eliminate the found defects on the surfaces, the local grinding method succeeds to remove them efficiently. A combined system of the optical inspection and the local Grinding machines are fabricated. The overview of the system will be presented.
