The first pair of superconducting niobium half-wave resonators operating at 162.5 MHz for the FNAL PIP-II project are complete and this poster reports the cold test results. These cavities are optimized to accelerate protons/H from 2 to 10 MeV and build upon optimized electromagnetic designs and processing techniques developed at Argonne for the Intensity Upgrade of the ATLAS superconducting heavy ion accelerator.

The ANL Physics Division has completed a major upgrade of the ATLAS National User Facility by successfully installing a new RFQ and cryomodule. The new normal conducting CW RFQ capable of providing 295 keV/u beams of any ion with m/q ≤7 from protons to uranium was fully integrated into ATLAS and has been in routine operation for more than a year. The RFQ doubled the efficiency of beam delivery to targets and opened the possibility to accelerate much higher intensity beams. Recently, the new cryomodule containing 7 high-performance 72.75 MHz superconducting quarter-wave resonators and 4 superconducting solenoids was successfully commissioned with beam. New design and fabrication techniques for these resonators resulted in record high voltages which were achieved during the beam commissioning. The new cryomodule provides 17.5 MV accelerating voltage which will be gradually raised by increasing the input RF power and improving LLRF system. The new cryomodule, which replaced 3 old cryomodules that used split-ring cavities, is also essential for high intensity stable beams. Results of beam commissioning and operation of ATLAS with the new RFQ and cryomodule will be presented.
