  In the European-XFEL superconducting linac, mechanical frequency tuners equipped with stepper motors and piezoelectric actuators provide cold tuning of each of the 768 1.3 GHz cavities. More than 820 complete tuning systems were fabricated and pre-assembled in industry, tested at several stages before and after assembly and successfully commissioned during cryo-module cold tests at AMTF (DESY). Quality control strategy adopted to preserve the well-assessed tuner reliability through such a large-scale industrial production is critically reviewed and the lessons learned are presented in this paper. The statistical analysis of the large set of data acquired up to the recent commissioning of the entire linac is then summarized.

  The European-XFEL injector hosts a third-harmonic section composed by a module with eigth 3.9 GHz cavities equipped with a coaxial frequency tuner inspired by INFN-LASA Blade Tuner design. The 3.9 GHz tuning system met specifications during all the injector runs in 2016 up to the recent commissioning of the entire linac; it matched the required tuning range and frequency sensitivity although higher than expected cavity detuning was experienced during pressure transients in the cryogenic system. An analysis of all collected experimental data is reported in this paper together with the strategy developed to provide a sound and effective retuning routine to the control room operator.

  INFN-LASA built a complete Medium Beta cavity, based on the ESS prototype design, with novel large-grain material sliced in sheets from an ingot provided by CBMM manufacturing experience. Design and fabrication are reported as well as results on the physical and chemical analyses performed on samples at different cavity production stages. Results from the cold tests performed are also summarized and critically discussed in view of future R&D activities

  During the first vertical test of ESS Medium Beta large-grain prototype cavity in INFN-LASA, a phenomenon of coexisting two passband-modes was observed – 4π/6 mode was excited spontaneously during the power rise of 3π/6 mode. This phenomenon is most likely due to the field-emission electrons that transfer their energy gained from the 3π/6 mode to the 4π/6 mode. In this paper, we present the experimental results, the excitation mechanism and the related simulation results.

  INFN-LASA, in the framework of INFN contribution to the European Spallation Source, has developed, produced and tested 704.4 MHz Medium Beta (β = 0.67) cavities. Mode separation and avoidance of HOM excitation by machine line frequencies have driven the cavity design. The production at the industry, also in view of the INFN in-kind contribution of series cavities, has been done "build-to-print" and we have implemented our own quality control process, based on our XFEL experience, from raw material to cavity ready for test. The cavities have been then cold tested in our upgraded Vertical Test Facility. In this paper, we report on our experience on the different phases of the cavity production and test processes.

  INFN-LASA is going to join the international partnership for Fermilab PIP-II project and to provide a novel design for the 650 MHz cavity of the 0.61 beta linac section, plug compatible with the Fermilab Cryomodule design. This paper reports the cavity design features both from the electro-magnetic and mechanical aspects, with focus on the rationales at the basis of the choice of main parameters. Furthermore, the current plans for the future R&D activity are here reported, including the production of two single cells and two complete cavities.
