The LHC High Luminosity upgrade program considers an option of using additional cavities, operating at multiplies of the main RF system frequency of 400 MHz. Such harmonic cavities should provide a possibility to vary the length of colliding bunches. In order to supply the required harmonic voltage several single cell superconducting cavities are to be used. It is desirable to house more cavities in a single cryostat to reduce the number of transitions between "warm" and "cold" parts of the cryogenic system. In this paper we study electromagnetic characteristics of a chain of the single cell superconducting cavities coupled by drifts tubes. In order to reduce the influence of Higher order modes (HOM) excited in the structure on the beam stability and to minimize eventual power losses we analyze the HOM parameters and calculate the wake potential decay rates due to application of different HOM damping devices. In particular, the methods of HOM damping with rectangular waveguides connected to the drift tubes, the loads placed in the fluted and ridged drift tubes, as well as combinations of these methods are compared.

  The NICA/MPD project has been started at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna in 2007. The NICA accelerator complex will consist of two injector chains, the new 600 MeV/u superconducting (SC) booster synchrotron, the existing SC synchrotron Nuclotron, and the new SC collider having two rings each of 503 m in circumference. New test facility for simultaneous cryogenic testing of the SC magnets on 6 benches is under commisioning in the Laboratory of High Energy Physics (LHEP) JINR. Premises with an area of 2600 m2 were prepared to install the equipment. The 15 kA, 25 V pulse power supply, the helium satellite refrigerator with capacity of 100 W were commissioned first bench for magnets testing have being assembled and now is under commisioning. First magnets cryogenic tests are planned on October 2014. Start of the serial production of the SC magnets for the booster synchrotron is planned for the end of 2014.

  The report overviews the recent SC-related R&D and production activity at IHEP. The scope of the paper extends over the items to follow. Two superconducting magnetic systems of Electron Lens for the Tevatron collider were developed, manufactured and successfully brought into operation. 42 cryogenic electrical feed boxes of various types for the Large Hadron Collider were developed, produced and commissioned. Results of development of fast-cycling SC magnets for the FAIR project are discussed. Operational experience acquired with the largest in Russia cryogenic system for cooling with a superfluid helium of SC RF separator for the beam transfer line #21from the U-70 machine is presented. Test-and-trial results with HTS current leads and dipole magnet employing Bi2223 as well as racetrack coils made of second-generation HTS are reviewed.

  The world first samples of Ti and Nb tubes joint with stainless steel ones by an explosion welding by the JINR-VNIIEF-FNAL-INFN cooperation were manufactured in the frame of ILC R&D program. An applying methods of relaxation of residual tensions (after explosion and electron beam welding), macro-and microanalyses of welding seam and cryogenic tests of the samples produced manifest the achievement of high mechanic strength (~250 MPa/share) of welding seam, solidity and leak absence on 10-10 l*atm/sec level at 1.8 K. The explosion welding technology and methods introducing to industrial manufacturing of the 4-th generation of cryomodule of TESLA TYPE DESIGN can exclude the Ti – communications as cover of the vessel. The Agreement between JINR and E.Paton IEW (Kiev, Ukraine) was achieved for manufacturing Nb+SS transition samples using new technology and new design of Nb+Ti+SS junction. We suppose this samples should be more technological, simpler in manufacturing and cheaper.

The High Luminosity LHC upgrade program foresees a possibility of using the second harmonic cavities working at 800 MHz for the collider bunch length variation. Such harmonic cavities should provide an opportunity to vary the length of colliding bunches. In order to supply the required harmonic voltage several single cell superconducting cavities are to be used. Different cavity designs and several higher order mode (HOM) damping techniques are being studied in order to reduce the cavity HOM impact on the beam stability and to minimize parasitic power losses. In this paper we analyze and compare the HOM electromagnetic characteristics and respective wake potential decay rates for cavities with grooves, fluted and ridged beam pipes. The problem of Lorentz force detuning is also addressed.

  Analytical calculations and numerical simulations have been done for mechanical eigenmodes of quarter wave superconducting resonators with operating frequency of 106 MHz and 80 MHz. A possibility of frequency shift of mechanical modes in 106 MHz resonator has been estimated by application of the damper. We have optimized the damper's position for suppression efficiency. We have also compared the numerical and experimental results.
