Since 2005 the Institute for Nuclear Physics at the Technische Universität Darmstadt operates a high temperature vacuum furnace. It is designed to reach temperatures of up to 1800°C. It has been used for baking out several niobium superconducting RF cavities at 850°C with proven success*. Current research for improving the performance of SRF cavities is focused on nitrogen treatment of such cavities. Nitrogen doping of SRF cavtities results in an up to four times higher quality-factor as compared to untreated cavities**. At higher temperatures between 1300°C and 1700°C the so-called delta-phase of NbN forms, which is highly interesting for applications to superconducting accelerator technology***. The UHV-furnace at the S-DALINAC offers the possibility to treat niobium samples at considerably higher temperatures than what has been done up to now in order to study the effect of delta-phase NbN and N-doping on superconducting properties. The furnace has been refurbished and recommissioned to realize research on nitrogen treatment of niobium samples. We will report on our first experiences with operating the upgraded furnace.

  Quality factor of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities is degraded whenever magnetic flux is trapped in the cavity walls during the cooldown. In this contribution we study how the trapped flux sensitivity, defined as the trapped flux surface resistance normalized for the amount of trapped flux, depends on the mean free path. A systematic study of a variety of 1.3 GHz cavities with different surface treatments (EP, 120 C bake and different N-doping) is carried out. A bell shaped trend appears for the range of mean free path studied. Over-doped cavities fall at the maximum of this curve defining the largest values of sensitivity. In addition, we have studied the trend of the BCS surface resistance contribution as a function of mean free path, showing that N-doped cavities follow close to the theoretical minimum. Adding these results together we show that the 2/6 N-doping treatment gives the highest Q-factor values at 2 K and 16 MV/m, as long as the magnetic field fully trapped during the cavity cooldown is lower than 10 mG.

  After successful finishing of superconducting cavities mass production at Ettore Zanon S.p.A. (EZ) for the European XFEL (EXFEL), the authors had the possibility to provide a detailed analysis of the electropolishing (EP) process. The analysis of EP material removal is based on specified RF measurements and was used for the determination of both, the ratio between cavity's iris and equator and uniformity in different cells. A comparison of the RF measurements results with mechanical measurements is presented.

  Residual resistance ratio (RRR) of 300-grade niobium has been analyzed to find optimal welding condition for a superconducting cavity. RRR values were not only measured along the welding directions, but also perpendicular to the welding lines. In this presentation, we will show the RRR analysis as a function of the distance, the welding speed, and the welding pressure.

The MYRRHA project aims at the construction of an accelerator driven system (ADS) at MOL (Belgium) for irradiation and transmutation experiment purposes. The facility will feature a superconducting LINAC able to produce a proton flux of 2.4 MW (600 MeV - 4 mA). The first section of the superconducting LINAC will be composed of 352 MHz (β = 0.37) Single Spoke Resonators (SSR) housed in short cryomodules operating at 2K. After a brief presentation of the cryomodule design, this paper will aim at presenting the RF performances of the SSR tested in vertical cryostat in the framework of European MYRTE project (MYRRHA Research and Transmutation Endeavour) and at comparing experimental results (Lorentz forces, pressure sensitivity, multipacting barriers…) to simulated values.
