MOBA03	Sensitivity of Niobium Superconducting RF Cavities to Magnetic Field	34
	D. Gonnella, J.J. Kaufman, M. Liepe Cornell University (CLASSE), Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-Based Sciences and Education, Ithaca, New York, USA
	One important characteristic of nitrogen-doped cavities is their very high sensitivity to increased residual surface resistance from trapped ambient magnetic flux. We have performed a systematic study on the losses by trapped flux, and their dependence on the mean-free-path (MFP) of the niobium RF penetration layer. Cavities with a wide range of MFP values were tested in uniform ambient magnetic fields to measure trapped magnetic flux and resulting increase in RF surface resistance. MFP values were determined from surface impedance measurements. It was found that larger mean free paths lead to lower sensitivity to trapped magnetic flux.

	As part of a multi-laboratory research initiative on high Q0 niobium cavities for LCLS-II and other future CW SRF accelerators, Cornell has conducted an extensive research program during the last two years on impurity-doping of niobium cavities and related material characterization. Here we give an overview of these activities, and present results from single-cell studies, from vertical performance testing of nitrogen-doped nine-cell cavities, and from cryomodule testing of nitrogen-doped nine-cell cavities.

The ”Linac Coherent Light Source-II” Project will construct a 4 GeV CW superconducting RF linac in the first kilometer of the existing SLAC linac tunnel. The baseline design calls for 280 1.3 GHz nine-cell cavities with an average intrinsic quality factor Q0 of 2.7·10¹⁰ at 2K and 16 MV/m accelerating gradient. The LCLS-II high Q0 cavity treatment protocol utilizes the reduction in BCS surface resistance by nitrogen doping of the RF surface layer, which was discovered originally at FNAL. Cornell University, FNAL, and TJNAF conducted a joint high Q0 R&D program with the goal of (a) exploring the robustness of the N-doping technique and establishing the LCLS-II cavity high Q0 processing protocol suitable for production use, and (b) demonstrating that this process can reliably achieve LCLS-II cavity specification in a production acceptance testing setting. In this paper we describe the LCLS-II cavity protocol and analyze combined cavity performance data from both vertical and horizontal testing at the three partner labs, which clearly shows that LCLS-II specifications were met, and thus demonstrates readiness for LCLS-II cavity production.

	Funding: DOE and the LCLS-II High Q Project The Linac Coherent Light Source-II (LCLS-II) is a new FEL x-ray source that is planned to be constructed in the existing SLAC tunnel. In order to meet the required high Q0 specification of 2.7x10¹⁰ at 2 K and 16 MV/m, nitrogen-doping has been proposed as a preparation method for the SRF cavities in the linac. In order to test the feasibility of these goals, four nitrogen-doped cavities have been tested at Cornell in the Horizontal Test Cryomodule (HTC) in five separate tests. The first three tests consisted of cavities assembled in the HTC with high Q input coupler. The fourth test used the same cavity as the third but with the prototype high power LCLS-II coupler installed. Finally, the fifth test used a high power LCLS-II coupler, cavity tuner, and HOM antennas. Here we report on the results from these tests along with a systematic analysis of change in performance due to the various steps in preparing and assembling LCLS-II cavities for cryomodule operation. These results represent one of the final steps to demonstrate readiness for full prototype cryomodule assembly for LCLS-II.

	Funding: NSF Recently, doping with nitrogen has been demonstrated to help SRF cavities reach significantly higher intrinsic quality factors than with standard procedures. However, the quench fields of these cavities have also been shown to be frequently reduced. Here we report on fundamental studies of doped cavities, investigating the source of reduced quench field and exploring alternative dopants. We have focused on studying the quench of nitrogen-doped cavities with temperature mapping and measurements of the flux penetration field using pulsed power to investigate maximum fields in nitrogen doped cavities. We also report on studies of cavities doped with other gases such as helium. These studies have enabled us to shed light on the mechanisms behind the higher Q and lower quench fields that have been observed in cavities doped with impurities.

The detail of the cavity preparation and test results will be shown. The comparison of the different recipes will be discussed.

TUPB044	High Quality Factor Studies in SRF Nb3Sn Cavities	661

	Funding: Work supported by DOE grant DE-SC0008431 and NSF grant PHY-141638 A significant advantage of Nb3Sn coated on niobium over conventional bulk niobium is the substantial reduction in the BCS losses at equal temperatures of the former relative to the latter. The quality factor of a 1.3 GHz Nb3Sn cavity is thus almost entirely dictated by the residual resistance at temperatures at and below 4.2 K, which, if minimised, offers the ability to operate the cavity in liquid helium at atmospheric pressure with quality factors exceeding 4·10¹⁰. In this paper we look at the impact of the cooldown procedure – which is intrinsically linked to the effect of spatial and temporal gradients – and the impact of external ambient magnetic fields on the performance of a Nb3Sn cavity.
