TI - Fabrication and Evaluation of Low RRR Large Grain 1-Cell Cavity J2 - Proc. of International Conference on RF Superconductivity (SRF2015), Whistler, BC, Canada, Sept. 13-18, 2015 AB - Successive R&D studies of SRF cavities are ongoing at KEK by using existing facilities of Cavity Fabrication Facility (CFF) and other equipment of Superconducting Test facility (STF). Recently, there are studies on the low RRR of niobium material with high and uniform concentration of tantalum which could be used for the fabrication of high performance SRF cavity, and hence it could reduce the fabrication cost of cavities [1]. In order to confirm the advantage of the material, a large-grain single-cell cavity was fabricated at CFF/KEK with sheets sliced from a low RRR niobium ingot with high and uniform concentration of tantalum. The resistivity measurement of sample from sliced sheet showed the RRR value of 100, whereas it is about 400 for the nominal qualification of fine-grain sheets at KEK. The low RRR large-grain single-cell cavity was already fabricated at CFF/KEK. The quality control of the fabrication processes are well under control. Then several vertical tests of the cavity were done at STF/KEK. In this presentation, the results of the vertical tests are shown. The potential of the low RRR niobium material for SRF cavity are discussed.
