  With a growing effort in research and development of an alternative material to bulk Nb for a superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavity, it is important to have a cost effective method to benchmark new materials of choice. At Old Dominion University's Center for Accelerator Science, a cryogenic probe station (CPS) will be used to measure the response of superconductor samples under RF fields. The setup consists of a closed-cycle refrigerator for cooling a sample wafer to a cryogenic temperature, a superconducting magnet providing a field parallel to the sample, and DC probes in addition to RF probes. The RF probes will extract a quality factor from a sample patterned in a coplanar waveguide resonator structure on a 2' wafer. From the measured quality factor, the surface resistance and the penetration depth as a function of temperature and magnetic field will be calculated. This paper will discuss the design and measurement procedures of the current CPS setup.

A new Injector Cryomodule (INJ CM) aimed to replace the existing Quarter Cryomodule in the CEBAF tunnel has been developed at Jefferson Lab (JLab). It is sched-uled to be first tested in the Cryomodule Test Facility (CMTF) for module performance then the Upgraded Injector Test Facility (UITF) with electron beam. This new cryomodule, hosting a 2-cell and 7-cell cavity, is designed to boost the electron energy from 200 keV to 5 MeV and permit 380 uA - 1.0 mA of beam current. The 2-cell cavity is a new design whereas the 7-cell cavity is refurbished from a low loss cavity from the retired JLab Renascence Cryomodule. The INJ CM adopts quite a few designs from the JLab 12 GeV Upgrade Cryomodule (C100). Examples of this include having the cold mass hung from a spaceframe structure by use of axial and transverse Nitronic rods, cavities to be tuned by scissor-jack style tuners and the end cans are actually modified from C100 style end cans. However, this new INJ CM is not a quarter of the C100 Cryomodule. This paper focuses on the major design features, fabrication and alignment process and testing of the module and its components.

  The main ring cavities of CEPC project are two-cell el-liptical superconducting cavities operating at 650 MHz in CW mode. Each cavity equips with one high power input coupler and each coupler has to deliver at least 300 kW of CW RF power to the beam. A variable coupling from 105 to 2·106 is required to meet different operation modes. Considering the cavities working with high quali-ty factor up to 2·1010, the coupler assembled with cavity in class 10 clean room is strongly recommended to protect the cavity from contamination. Also, low cryogenic heat loss is one of the important issues for a large scale CW operation machine. Some of the above requirements should be compromise. Therefore, it's a big challenge to design a high power input coupler fulfilling the above requirements simultaneously. A new coupler that employs 75 Ω coaxial line sections, a planar ceramic disk win-dow, a coaxial to waveguide transition and a coupling adjusting actuator has been designed. In this paper, the RF design, thermal stress analysis and preliminary me-chanical design of the coupler are presented.

To guarantee optimum performance, the crab cavities for the high-luminosity upgrade of CERN's LHC need to be shielded from external magnetic fields. Consequently, they will be enclosed by two layers of magnetic shielding, of which the inner is immersed in superfluid helium at 2 K. A Ni-based high-permeability material with a tailored composition and a designated heat treatment is applied. Its magnetic properties at cryogenic temperature are however not yet fully assessed. Especially the effect of deformation on magnetic properties has not been thoroughly investigated, however strain effects may have severe consequences. A magnetic measurement set-up has been developed, and the magnetic permeability at room temperature and at cryogenic temperatures is evaluated, showing that the maximum relative permeability at 4 K exceeds the design criteria of 100, 000. Measurements of the magnetic permeability after introduction of uniaxial plastic deformation between 0% and 3% are conducted by means of an Epstein frame. Results show that deformation induces significant decrease of the magnetic performance, underlining that particular care must be taken during all stages of handling and operation.

  Historically, the frequency of SRF cavities has been limited by cryogenic power dissipation increasing rapidly with frequency, due to the BCS surface resistance having a quadratic dependence on frequency. Now, new SRF surfaces using doped niobium and compound superconductors like Nb3Sn can drastically reduce the BCS part of the surface resistance. The temperature independent part of the surface resistance (residual resistance) can therefore become dominant, and has its own, different frequency dependence. We have developed a model to analyze cryogenic cooling power requirements for SRF cavities as function of operating frequency, temperature, and trapped flux to evaluate the impact of the novel low-loss SRF surfaces on the questions of optimal operating frequency and frequency limit. We show that high-frequency SRF cavities now become a realistic option for future SRF driven accelerators. As the transverse cavity size decreases inversely with respect to its resonant frequency, such high-frequency SRF cavities could greatly reduce cost.

  Testing SRF cavities in a vertical cryostat is the first step in qualifying the performance of SRF cavities before being integrated into a cryomodule. The European Spallation Source (ESS) requires 84 high-beta 5 cells, 704 MHz cavities which will be manufactured and qualified for their RF performance in a vertical cryostat at Science and Technology Facility Council (STFC) Daresbury Laboratory (United-kingdom). Taking a conventional approach each vertical test would require a large cryostat demanding more than 7000 litres of liquid helium per test for testing 3 cavities simultaneously. In order to reduce the overall operating cost, we plan to develop an alternative method to divide the liquid helium consumption by 5 by filling liquid helium only in each individual helium vessels enclosing each cavity placed horizontally in the cryostat. Therefore the test is performed in more realistic conditions such as in a cryomodule and reduces the operating time. This also reduces the mass flow-rate to be handled by a factor 10, leading to 2 g/s, thus reducing the size of the associated components such as the 2 K pumps, the safety device, the valves and transfer lines.

  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.

Argonne National Laboratory is implementing a novel 2.0 K superconducting cavity cryomodule operating at 162.5 MHz. This cryomodule is designed for the acceleration of 2 mA H-/proton beams from 2.1 to 10.3 MeV as part of the Fermilab Proton Improvement Project-II (PIP-II). The 2.0 K cryomodule is comprised of 8 half-wave cavities operated in the continuous wave mode with 8 superconducting magnets, one in front of each cavity. In this paper we will review recent cavity results which demonstrate continuous-wave operated cavities with low-field residual resistances of 2.5 nΩ which achieve peak surface fields up to 134 MV/m and 144 mT, electric and magnetic respectively, with field emission onset fields greater than 70 MV/m in the production cavities following the prototyping effort.

High purity Nb is commonly used for fabricating SRF cavities due to its high critical temperature and its formability. However, microstructural defects such as dislocations and grain boundaries in niobium can serve as favorable sites for pinning centers of magnetic flux that can degrade SRF cavity performance. In this study, two bi-crystal niobium samples extracted from strategically selected grain boundaries were investigated for the effect of grain misorientation on magnetic flux behavior. Laue X-ray and EBSD-OIM crystallographic analyses were used to characterize grain orientations and orientation gradients. Cryogenic Magneto-Optical Imaging (MOI) was used to directly observe magnetic flux penetration at about 5-8 K. Flux penetration was observed along one of the grain boundaries, as well as along a low angle boundary that was not detected prior to MOI imaging. Hydride scars on the sample surface after MOI were examined using atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis. The relationships between dislocation content, cryo-cooling, flux penetration and grain boundaries are examined.

Multilayer thin film coating is a promising technology to enhance performance of superconducting cavities. Until recently, principal parameters to achieve the sufficient performance had not been known, such as the thickness of each layer. We proposed a method to deduce a set of the parameters to exhibit a good performances. In order to verify the scheme, we are trying to make some experiments on the subject at Kyoto. The sample preparation and the test setup for the measurement apparatus will be discussed.
