  A test cavity that uses RF chokes, rather than a physical seal, to contain the field is a promising method of SRF sample testing, especially in thin films research where the rate of sample production far outstrips that of full SRF characterisation. Having the sample and cavity physically separate reduces the complexity involved in changing samples - major causes of low throughput rate and high running costs for other test cavities - and also allows direct measurement of the RF power dissipated in the sample via power calorimetry. Choked test cavities operating at 7.8 GHz with three RF chokes have been designed and tested at Daresbury Laboratory. As part of the commissioning of this system, we performed the first full SRF test with a bulk Nb sample and we verified that the system would perform as required for future superconducting thin film sample tests.

  Science and Technology Facility Council is responsible for supplying, and testing 84 High beta elliptical SRF cavities, as part of the UK In Kind Contribution to the European Spallation Source (ESS). The High-β=0.86, cavities have been designed by CEA- Saclay and are a five cell Niobium cavity operating at 704.42 MHz. They are required to provide an accelerating gradient of 19.9 MV/m at an unloaded Q of 5x109. Preparations are underway to upgrade the cryogenic and RF facilities at Daresbury laboratory prior to the arrival of the first cavities. As part of these arrangements, a niobium coaxial resonator has been manufactured, to validate the test facility. The design considerations, for the coaxial resonator are presented, along with preliminary results. The RF measurement system to perform the cavity conditioning and testing is also presented.
