| | We look back on more than 10 years experience using a database for superconducting cavities. Originally the database was developed for a cavity R&D program in order to optimize the cavity preparation techniques to get high and reproducible accelerating gradients at high quality factors. Presently the database takes over more and more an effective part of the quality control system for the whole cavity production and preparation process for FLASH and XFEL on a very detailed level. Currently we try to find out the most effective and safe way to get the production data from the different companies to the database and to control the quality of the cavity production from the Niobium sheets to the complete modules in the linac. | |

| | Two main goals of the test cavity program for the
European XFEL are the qualification of alternative
niobium vendors and the investigation of the capabilities
of large grain niobium for large-scale nine-cell cavity
production. About 25 1.3 GHz single-cell cavities of
TESLA shape have been completed at Accel Instruments
and DESY. Alternative vendors for high purity fine-grain
niobium are ITEP Giredmet, Cabot, Ningxia and Plansee.
The in-house fabricated cavities have been tested after
800C firing and final electropolishing (EP) treatment. All
cavities exceed gradients of 35 MV/m at high Q-values.
For the large grain cavities of high RRR Heraeus niobium
gradients up to 41 MV/m have been achieved. The
performance after final chemical etching (BCP) is
compared to EP for several cavities. | |
