  High gradient is very important for superconducting cavity, however it may be limited by quench on the cavity high field region. Quench can be caused by various reasons. To locate the position is the key to reveal the mysteries of quench. OST sensor was widely used to locate the quench position. Now we are developing the quench position detection system by RTD sensors such as Cernox. In this paper, we will show the design of the second sound system and testing results on the QWR cavity.

  Cavities which exhibit a low field quench are normally discarded from usage in accelerator projects. However, they can be repaired if the exact location of the quench is known. Optical inspection alone cannot reliably locate the source of a quench. Methods that directly measure the quench, such as thermometry or second sound detection, could so far only be performed at undressed cavities. A new, specially designed, second-sound system for the first time allows the localization of the quench in multicell cavities equipped with a helium vessel. It can be easily installed in the helium pipe of the cavity. Information on the quench location can be acquired during a standard rf test. A new algorithm localizes the quench based on the real path of the second-sound wave around the cavity surface, rather than using simple triangulation. The implemented pathfinding method leads to a high precision and high accuracy of the quench location. This was verified by testing standard dressed 9-cell XFEL cavities. The system can be easily applied to other cavity shapes and sizes.

  The dynamics of flux expulsion in Nb samples during superconducting transition has been investigated with neutron radiography. Aiming at a reduction of the trapped flux with respect to obtaining a small residual resistance it was attempted to influence the expulsion by applying external AC magnetic fields. The results of these experiments are presented.

  Previous experimental studies on single-cell Nb3Sn cavities have shown that the cause of quench is isolated to a localised defect on the cavity surface. Here, cavity temperature mapping has been used to investigate cavity quench behaviour in an Nb3Sn cavity by measuring the temperature at the quench location as the RF field approaches the quench field. The heating profile observed at the quench location prior to quench appears to suggest quantised vortex entry at a defect. To investigate further, the quench region has been removed from the cavity and analysed using SEM methods. These results are compared to theoretical models describing two vortex entry defect candidates: regions of thin-layer tin-depleted Nb3Sn on the cavity surface that lower the flux entry field, and grain boundaries acting as Josephson junctions with a lower critical current than the surrounding material. A theoretical model of layer growth developed using density functional theory is used to discuss alterations to the coating process that could mitigate the formation of such defects.
