| For the proposed XFEL Project at DESY about 850
Cavities will accelerate the electron beam. The
resonators have to provide average acceleration
gradient of 23, 6 MV/m [Ref.:1]. In order to reach that
gradient reproducibly in a medium scale production,
several preparations methods and surface treatments
are under study at DESY. Beside the standard fine
grain niobium material in use up to now, nine cell
resonators made from large grain niobium are under
investigation since 2006. We present the different
approaches in surface preparation procedures for fine
and large grain niobium and the related cavity results. | |
TUP31 | Update on EP Experiences at DESY with the Electro Polishing Process at DESY 1.3 GHZ | 200 |

| Since several years electro-polishing (EP) of
superconducting resonators is one of the major
preparation techniques in use for high gradient
superconducting resonators. At DESY the EP facility is
operational since mid of 2003. About 150 resonators have
been polished in this infrastructure since. Typical process
data, a maintenance plan and reliability of components
installed in the DESY apparatus as well as actual RF test
results of resonators will be presented. For the XFEL
project the industrialization of the electro polishing
processes is started. A status report of the industrialization
will be given. | |
TH201 | Industrial Study of FLASH Module Production |
| | |
| The cryomodules of the FLASH linac at DESY represent the development of the cryomodule design of the TESLA Technology Collaboration. Beside of the use in the FLASH linac, the cryomodule design and construction serve as a generic approach for other projects. In particular, the industrial production of the cryomodules of the European XFEL-project will be based on the FLASH cryomodule development.
To prepare for the construction of the European XFEL and other superconducting linac based light sources like the BESSY-FEL, the existing FLASH cryomodule design and assembly procedures are reviewed by means of industrial studies. The aim is to prepare for series production, as well as to reduce the effort and costs and to increase the performance and the reliability. As a result of a European negotiated procurement procedure, two European companies were qualified to take part in the studies. The ACCEL Instruments GmbH and the Babcock Noell Nuclear GmbH (BNN) took part in the complete assembly the cryomodule production No.6 at DESY in May/June 2006. Both companies will also be involved in the assembly of cryomodule No.8 in fall 2007. The present status of the studies and first results are reported. The industrial studies are supported by the EUROFEL Design Study contract No.011935.
