Due to its properties, niobium-titanium alloy is widely used to manufacture the flanges of superconducting niobium accelerating cavities. The material hardness is compliant to provide UHV-tight connections with aluminum gaskets or spring-type gaskets (Helicoflex). And the alloy can be directly welded to the niobium. The paper will present the surface analysis made on NbTi samples after the chemical treatment and on a Nb / NbTi weld.

The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc), which is presently under design and realization, aims to accelerate a 125 mA deuteron beam up to 9 MeV. Therefore, a low-beta 175 MHz Half-Wave Resonator (HWR) was initially designed and manufactured with a tuning system based on a capacitive plunger located in the electric field region. Following the results of the vertical tests at 4.2K, this tuning system was abandoned and replaced by a conservative solution based on the HWR wall deformation using an external mechanical tuner. This paper will focus on the manufacturing of the prototype cavity, the studies realized to explain the first test results and the solutions taken to overcome the difficulties, leading to the validation of the prototype. Then, we will present the new cavity design.

The accelerator of the European Spallation Source (ESS) is a 5 MW proton linac to be built in Lund Sweden. Its superconducting section is composed of 3 cavity families: double spoke resonators, medium beta and high beta elliptical multicell cavities. This paper presents the electromagnetic and mechanical design of the 704.42 MHz elliptical cavities. Both elliptical famillies are housed in 4-cavity cryomodules which share a common design and set of components which will be described here.
