Cornell has recently completed construction and qualification of a horizontal cryomodule capable of holding a 9-cell ILC cavity. A nitrogen-doped niobium 9-cell cavity was assembled into the Horizontal Test Cryomodule (HTC) with a high Q input coupler and tested. We report on results from this test of a nitrogen-doped cavity in cryomodule and discuss the effects of cool down rate and thermal cycling on the residual resistance of the cavity.

Nb₃Sn is a very promising material for use in SRF cavity applications, potentially offering significant improvements in quality factor and energy gradient compared to niobium. In order to better understand how to optimize this material for SRF applications, Nb₃Sn samples were prepared at Cornell via vapor deposition, using varying parameters in the coating process. Microscopic studies were performed with SEM/EDX, and studies were performed on bulk samples to measure secondary electron yield, energy gap, and upper critical magnetic field. The results are presented here, with discussion for how they might point the way towards reaching even higher fields in Nb₃Sn cavities.

Nb₃Sn is a material that has the potential to have a transformative impact on SRF linacs. Due to its large critical temperature of approximately 18 K, Nb₃Sn cavities can have far smaller surface resistances at a given temperature than standard Nb cavities. This could significantly reduce the costs for infrastructure and power in cryoplants for large CW linacs. In addition, the predicted superheating field of Nb₃Sn is approximately double that of Nb, potentially doubling the maximum energy gradient. This would significantly decrease the size and cost of high energy linacs. In this work, we present recent progress in research and development for this promising material.

To understand the relationship between an RF cavity’s performance and the material on its surface, one must look at various parameters, including energy gap, mean free path, and residual resistance. Though SRIMP fits for seven parameters, three parameters are eliminated using measurement and literature values, and the uncertainty of the fit of the remaining four parameters is further reduced by synthesizing two 3-parameter fits, each from a different data set. To study random error, Monte Carlo simulations were performed of ideal data with added noise; for systematic error, contour plots of normalized residual sum of squares (RSS) of the polymorphic fit on inputted data were generated.
