MOYBB3 | Progress in Nb3Sn SRF Cavities at Cornell University | cavity, SRF, site, superconductivity | 37 |
|

Niobium-3 Tin (NbSn) is the most promising alternative material for next-generation SRF cavities. The material can obtain high quality factors (> 1010) at 4.2 K and could theoretically support ~ 96 MV/m operation of a TESLA elliptical style cavity. Current Nb3Sn cavities made at Cornell University achieve high quality factors but are limited to about 17 MV/m in CW operation due to the presence of a surface defect. Here we examine recent results on studying the quench mechanism and propose that surface roughness is a major limiter for accelerating gradients. Furthermore, we discuss recent work on reducing the surface roughness including chemical polishing, modification of material growth, and tin electroplating. | |||

WEPLM52 | Recent Developments of Nb3Sn at Jefferson Lab for SRF Accelerator Application | cavity, SRF, cryomodule, factory | 713 |

Funding: U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics. The desire to reduce the construction and operating costs of future SRF accelerators motivates the search for alternative, higher-performing materials. Nb3Sn (Tc ~ 18.3 K and Hsh ~ 425 mT) is the front runner. However, tests of early Nb3Sn-coated cavities encountered strong Q-slopes limiting the performance. Learnings from studies of coated materials related to cavity performance prompted significant changes to the coating process. It is now possible to routinely produce slope-free single-cell cavities having Q0 ≥ 2×1010 at 4 K and > 4×1010 at 2 K up to the accelerating gradient in excess of 15 MV/m at its best. Obtaining similar results in five-cell cavities is a current goal to test them under an accelerator environment. This contribution discusses recent developments at Jefferson Lab. |

WEPLM62 | First Cold Test Results of a Medium-Beta 644 MHz Superconducting 5-Cell Elliptical Cavity for the FRIB Energy Upgrade | cavity, target, pick-up, linac | 731 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by Michigan State University. The superconducting linac for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will accelerate ions to 200 MeV per nucleon, with the possibility of a future energy upgrade to 400 MeV per nucleon via additional cavities. A 5-cell superconducting β = 0.65 elliptical cavity was designed for this purpose. Two unjacketed 5-cell niobium cavities were fabricated; the first of these was Dewar tested in February 2019. The surface preparation was bulk electropolishing (EP, 150 µm), hydrogen degassing (600°C, 10 hours), light EP (20 µm), clean-room high-pressure water rinsing, and in-situ baking (120°C, 48 hours). We achieved Q0 = 2·1010, equivalent to Rs = 10 nΩ, at the design gradient of 17.5 MV/m. The cavity was tested in a newly refurbished FRIB test Dewar, equipped with a variable input coupler. |

WEPLM67 | Optimization of a Single-Cell Accelerating Structure for Rf Breakdown Test With Short Rf Pulses | acceleration, experiment, collider, linear-collider | 747 |
|
|||
RF breakdown is one of the major limitations to achieve high gradient acceleration for future structure-based normal conducting linear colliders. Previous statistic research shows that the breakdown rate is proportional to Ea30 * tp5, which indicates that the accelerating gradient Ea could be improved by using shorter RF pulses (tp). An X-band 11.7~GHz metallic single-cell structure has been designed for RF breakdown study up to 273~MV/m using short pulses (~3ns) generated by a 400~MW power extractor at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility. The structure has also been scaled to 11.424~GHz for the long pulse (100-1500~ns) breakdown study driven by a klystron and a pulse compressor at Tsinghua X-band High Power Test-stand (TPoT-X), with the gradient up to 246~MV/m with 200~MW input power. | |||

WEPLM68 | Design of a Dielectric-Loaded Accelerator for Short Pulse High Gradient Research | acceleration, wakefield, simulation, experiment | 751 |
|
|||
The short-pulse two-beam acceleration approach is a promising candidate to meet the cost and luminosity requirements for future linear colliders. Dielectric-loaded structure has been intensely investigated for this approach because of its low fabrication cost, low RF loss, and potential to withstand GV/m gradient. An X-band 11.7~GHz dielectric-loaded accelerator (DLA) has been designed for high power test with short RF pulses (3~ns) generated from a power extractor driven by high charge bunches at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility. The gradient is expected to be over 100~MV/m with the maximum input power of 400~MW. | |||
