 In order to increase the protons energy up to 8 GeV in a driver Linac, the particles must be accelerated through various stages and three different power levels (25kW, 100kW and 210kW) are required for the 325 MHz Fermilab Proton Driver couplers. The problem identified by the project is that no High RF power coupler for these cavities has ever been designed and produced using US industrial capabilities. AMAC proposed a novel resolution by development of innovative modular, multiple power levels, 325 MHz spoke cavities power couplers, which to meet three type cavities with one coupler design. The simulation and concept design are presented. The results of HFSS, MAFIA, ANSYS, and Multipacting are also discussed.

 There is an increasing demand for High beam Current, high Radio-Frequency (RF) power S-band cavities in existing and new accelerator projects, such as for a study of future electron-ion collider (eRHIC) and a very brilliant, broadband, teraherz coherent synchrotron radiation source (CRS). To achieve this goal, the RF cavities must be upgraded to a gap voltage of 1.5 MV in a limited space available in the machine with a high gradient superconducting cavity. At the present time there are no cavities and accessories designed to support the high beam currents of up to 10-100 mA and at the same time provide a high gap voltage at such a high Sband frequency. AMAC proposed a High Current, Large Aperture, Low HOM, Single Crystal Nb 2.85GHz Superconducting Cavity with high RF Power Coupler and HOM absorber device.

 The performance of superconducting RF cavities used in accelerators can be enhanced by detecting micro particles and inclusions which are the most serious source of performance degradation. These defects prevent the cavities from reaching the highest possible accelerating fields. We have developed a SQUID scanning system based on eddy current technique that allows the scanning of curved Nb samples. This SQUID scanning system successfully located Tantalum defects about 100 um diameter in a flat Nb sample and was able to also locate the defects in a cylindrical surface sample. Most importantly, however, the system successfully located the defects on the backside of the flat sample and curved sample, both 3-mm thick. This system can be used for the inspection and detection of such defects during SRF cavity manufacturing.
