	An energy recovery linac (ERL)-based free electron laser (FEL) is a possible candidate of a tens of kW EUV source and open the era for next generation EUV-lithography. We have designed the 10 mA class ERL-based EUV-FEL source to generate more than 10 kW power. One of the key technologies is CW superconducting cavities to realize the energy recovery of high beam current of more than 10 mA by suppressing HOMs and high gradient acceleration of higher than 12 MV/m. This CW superconducting cavity had been developed through the construction of the Compact ERL facility in KEK and it successfully achieved the energy recovery of 1 mA CW beam until now. In this talk, first we express our design strategies of SRF cavities of the main linac of ERL-EUV light sources not only to suppress the HOMs but also to overcome the field emission problem by modifying the main linac cavity of Compact ERL more sophisticatedly. Next we show the recent development works for ERL-EUV superconducting cavity about HOM damper, cryomodule, and its clean string-assembly work by using horizontal test stand.

	Purity of thin copper plating using in input power couplers for superconducting cavities is one of important characteristics for considering thermal losses at low temperature. Various samples of thin copper plating on stainless sheets was fabricated by three companies with their own plating techniques. The RRR values of the samples with different thickness of copper plating were compared in the condition before and after heat treatment at 800oC in a brazing furnace. Deterioration of the RRR was observed in all of samples after heat treatment. The results of the RRR measurements and sample analysis of impurities will be reported in this paper.

MOPB096	Estimation of Alignment Error by Measuring Higher-order-mode of Injector Superconducting Cavity at KEK-cERL	286
	Y. Honda, E. Kako, T. Konomi, T. Miyajima, T. Obina, H. Sakai, K. Umemori KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	Precise alignment of accelerator cavities is important in realizing a low emittance beam. Especially in the cases of superconducting cavities installed in a cryomodule, it is difficult to mechanically measure the position of the cavities. By measuring higher-order-modes (HOM) excited by a beam, the electrical center of the cavities can be estimated. We have developed a HOM measurement system for the injector superconducting accelerator cavities of KEK ERL test accelerator (cERL).Comparing the HOM signals of the three independent cavities in the cryomodule, we estimated the relative positioning errors of the three cavities.

MOPB097	Degradation and Recovery of Cavity Performances in Compact-ERL Injector Cryomodule	289
	E. Kako, T. Konomi, T. Miura, H. Sakai, K. Umemori KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	Injector cryomodule for cERL consists of three 2-cell cavities equipped with double-feeds input couplers, five antenna-type HOM couplers and a slide-jack tuner with two piezo actuators. After cryomodule assembly and first cool-down tests in 2012, the cERL injector cryomodule has been stably operated with beam for four years. Gradual increases of x-ray radiation levels due to field emission were observed during long term beam operation. High power pulsed RF conditioning as a cure method was applied in the cool-down period in 2016 and 2017, so that degraded cavity performances have almost recovered up to the original levels. Performance recovery status in three 2-cell cavities will be reported in this paper.

	Improvement of unloaded Q-values of SRF cavities are important to reduce surface loss of cavity and heat loads of He refrigerators. R&D activities have been developed worldwide. We also started work toward high-Q, but soon realized that magnetic condition of KEK-STF vertical test facility was not good enough to carry out high-Q measurements. First, magnetized components were searched. Shafts to move variable coupler were found to be most magnetized one and exceed more than 1 Gauss. Magnetized components were exchanged to non-magnetized one. In order to further reduce remnant magnetic field, a solenoid coil was prepared and used to cancel it. To suppress flux trapping, a heater was located around an upper beampipe of cavity and made thermal gradient. Owing to these efforts, Q-value of more than 1x10¹¹ can be measured with a condition of residual resistance of ~3 nΩ. Clear flux expulsion signal can be also observed. In this presentation, we report about efforts to reduce ambient magnetic field and to realize high-Q measurements. Results of vertical tests, including flux expulsion measurements, are also presented.

	In the Superconducting RF Test Facility (STF) in KEK, the cooldown test for the STF-2 cryomdoule with 12 cavities has been done totally three times since 2014. In 2016, the 3rd cooldown test for the STF-2 cryomodule including the capture cryomodule with 2 cavities was successfully carried out. The main achievement is the vector-sum operation with 8 cavities at average accelerating gradient of 31 MV/m as the ILC specification (2 of 8 cavities achieved 36 MV/m with piezo compensation), and the others are the measurement for Lorenz Force Detuning (LFD) and unloaded Q value, and Low Level RF (LLRF) study, etc. In this paper, the result for the STF-2 cryomodule in three cooldown tests will be presented in detail.

	Compact ERL (cERL) was constructed at KEK as a prototype for 3GeV ERL light source. It consists of two types of SRF cavities. Three injector 2-cell SRF cavities and two main linac 9-cell SRF cavities. The beam operation started at 2013, with 100 nA (CW). Beam current increased step by step and currently reached to 1 mA (CW). Energy recovery has successfully achieved. Performance of the SRF cavities through long term beam operation has been investigated. With the beam induced HOMs, the beam position and the beam timing were studied. cERL has suffered from heavy field emissions in operation. Field emissions of the main linac cavity started just after module assembly work, and during beam operation, performances of both the main linac and the injector SRF cavities sometimes degraded. One reason of degradation was discharges occurred at beamline components due to charge up of electrons. Pulse aging technique helped to recover SRF performances. In this presentation, details of SRF beam operation, degradation, applied recovery methods are described.

	KEK has been carrying out SRF cavity developments toward higher Q-values and higher accelerating gradients. In the past nitrogen-doping was tested using the KEK furnaces, but it did not succeed. This time nitrogen infusion and nitrogen doping are tested using the J-PARC's furnace, which has an oil-free pumping system and is mainly pumped by a 10000 L/s cryopump and three 3000 L/s turbo pumps. Nitrogen pressure is controlled by a variable leak valve and an additional turbo pump. To avoid performance degradation during heat treatment, flanges of cavities are covered by Nb caps and foils. Nitrogen infusion at 120 degrees was applied to a single cell cavity and cavity performance was measured by vertical tests after HPR and assembly. Nitrogen doping at 800 degrees is also applied to another single cell cavity. After applying EP and HPR, vertical tests were carried out. Nb samples were also installed into the furnace during heat treatment. Surfaces are analyzed by SIMS and XPS. In this presentation, we report procedure of nitrogen infusion and doping, vertical test results and results of surface analysis.

	Comprehensive cavity fabrication process from Niobium ingot was investigated. In order to purify ingots, A 600 kW electron beam furnace was introduced in ULVAC. It makes possible the stable quality of Niobium sheets and tubes. In evaluation of chemical components, mechanical properties, and RRR of our materials, all the value satisfies the ASTM Type 5 (superconducting grade) specification. In this study, we performed the trial manufacturing of welding-type and seamless-type cavities were made of our high purity Niobium ingots (RRR > 300). Accelerating gradient over 40 MV/m was shown in both cavities. We also tried to manufacture a 3-cell seamless cavity as scale up study. A seamless tube with a length of 830 mm, an inner diameter of 131 mm and a thickness of 3.5 mm was prepared. We succeed in direct forming from tube to cavity shape by using a hydroforming process. Cavity surface could be smoother than that of single cell cavity caused by small crystal grain size.

An energy recovery linac (ERL)-based free electron laser (FEL) is a possible candidate of a tens of kW EUV source and open the era for next generation EUV-lithography. We have designed the 10 mA class ERL-based EUV-FEL source to generate more than 10 kW power. One of the key technologies is CW superconducting cavities to realize the energy recovery of high beam current of more than 10 mA by suppressing HOMs and high gradient acceleration of higher than 12 MV/m. This CW superconducting cavity had been developed through the construction of the Compact ERL facility in KEK and it successfully achieved the energy recovery of 1 mA CW beam until now. In this talk, first we express our design strategies of SRF cavities of the main linac of ERL-EUV light sources not only to suppress the HOMs but also to overcome the field emission problem by modifying the main linac cavity of Compact ERL more sophisticatedly. Next we show the recent development works for ERL-EUV superconducting cavity about HOM damper, cryomodule, and its clean string-assembly work by using horizontal test stand.

In 2016, the 3rd cooldown test for the STF-2 cryomodule including the capture cryomodule with 2 cavities was successfully carried out. The main achievement is the vector-sum operation with 8 cavities at average accelerating gradient of 31 MV/m as the ILC specification (2 of 8 cavities achieved 36 MV/m with piezo compensation), and the others are the measurement for Lorenz Force Detuning (LFD) and unloaded Q value, and Low Level RF (LLRF) study, etc. In this paper, the result for the STF-2 cryomodule in three cooldown tests will be presented in detail.

Compact ERL (cERL) was constructed at KEK as a prototype for 3GeV ERL light source. It consists of two types of SRF cavities. Three injector 2-cell SRF cavities and two main linac 9-cell SRF cavities. The beam operation started at 2013, with 100 nA (CW). Beam current increased step by step and currently reached to 1 mA (CW). Energy recovery has successfully achieved. Performance of the SRF cavities through long term beam operation has been investigated. With the beam induced HOMs, the beam position and the beam timing were studied. cERL has suffered from heavy field emissions in operation. Field emissions of the main linac cavity started just after module assembly work, and during beam operation, performances of both the main linac and the injector SRF cavities sometimes degraded. One reason of degradation was discharges occurred at beamline components due to charge up of electrons. Pulse aging technique helped to recover SRF performances. In this presentation, details of SRF beam operation, degradation, applied recovery methods are described.

KEK has been carrying out SRF cavity developments toward higher Q-values and higher accelerating gradients. In the past nitrogen-doping was tested using the KEK furnaces, but it did not succeed. This time nitrogen infusion and nitrogen doping are tested using the J-PARC's furnace, which has an oil-free pumping system and is mainly pumped by a 10000 L/s cryopump and three 3000 L/s turbo pumps. Nitrogen pressure is controlled by a variable leak valve and an additional turbo pump. To avoid performance degradation during heat treatment, flanges of cavities are covered by Nb caps and foils. Nitrogen infusion at 120 degrees was applied to a single cell cavity and cavity performance was measured by vertical tests after HPR and assembly. Nitrogen doping at 800 degrees is also applied to another single cell cavity. After applying EP and HPR, vertical tests were carried out. Nb samples were also installed into the furnace during heat treatment. Surfaces are analyzed by SIMS and XPS. In this presentation, we report procedure of nitrogen infusion and doping, vertical test results and results of surface analysis.

Comprehensive cavity fabrication process from Niobium ingot was investigated. In order to purify ingots, A 600 kW electron beam furnace was introduced in ULVAC. It makes possible the stable quality of Niobium sheets and tubes. In evaluation of chemical components, mechanical properties, and RRR of our materials, all the value satisfies the ASTM Type 5 (superconducting grade) specification. In this study, we performed the trial manufacturing of welding-type and seamless-type cavities were made of our high purity Niobium ingots (RRR > 300). Accelerating gradient over 40 MV/m was shown in both cavities. We also tried to manufacture a 3-cell seamless cavity as scale up study. A seamless tube with a length of 830 mm, an inner diameter of 131 mm and a thickness of 3.5 mm was prepared. We succeed in direct forming from tube to cavity shape by using a hydroforming process. Cavity surface could be smoother than that of single cell cavity caused by small crystal grain size.
