  The European Spallation Source is currently under construction in Lund in southern Sweden. The main part of the accelerator will consist of two different types of cryomodules housing three different types of cavities ' double spoke cavities and two different elliptical cavities. The spoke cavities as well as the cryomodules will be provided by IPN Orsay, thus the external interfaces to the other accelerator systems have to be verified. While the procurement and assembly of the elliptical cryomodules will be performed by CEA Saclay, the cavities will be provided by INFN Milano and STFC Daresbury. Thus in addition to the external cryomodule interfaces, also the internal interfaces between cavities and cryomodules have to be taken care of. This contribution presents the challenges related to this work.

  An optimal procedure for coupler and cavity conditioning is proposed for the ESS superconducting cavities, which is applicable for different test stands and following installation in the ESS tunnel. A preliminary procedure has been developed and successfully tested at FREIA facility, Uppsala. The preliminary procedure will now be improved by integrating it into LLRF and EPICS control. This will be a joint effort between FREIA and ESS and will be used at the test stands in Lund and on the couplers installed in the tunnel. Developing the conditioning procedures on a common platform offers ESS significant advantages by allowing the procedures to be reused at different sites and by recording data in a consistent format. The details of the procedure, its development and testing will be reported and the future activities will be described.

  Compact SRF Crab Cavities are integral to the HL-LHC upgrade. This paper details the design of support structures within the SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) Crab Cavity Cryomodule. For ease of alignment each cavity is supported with the mechanical tuner and RF Fundamental Power Coupler (FPC) via a common support plate. To reduce heat leak and remove bellows in the FPC it was determined that this would be the fixed support for the cavity (V. Parma, 2013). In addition, novel flexural blades were designed to give increased stiffness yet allow for thermal contraction of the cavity towards the fixed point of the FPC. This approach was superior when compared via simulation to several alternative techniques. A detailed simulation model was used for optimisation of directional stiffness, identification of vibration modes and minimising thermal stresses. A transmission matrix was developed in MS Excel to assess modal deflection for given ground vibration conditions. The spreadsheet gives an instantaneous yet comparable result to time consuming random vibration FE Analyses. The final engineering design of the supporting system is now complete and will also be described in this paper.

  The ‘Q-slope' problem strongly limits the application of niobium thin film sputtered cavities in high field accelerators. Here we consider the hypothesis that the Q-slope is related to local enhanced of the thermal boundary resistance at the Nb/Cu interface, due to poor thermal contact between film and substrate. We introduce a simple model that directly connects the Q versus Eacc curves to the distribution function f(RNb/Cu) of RNb/Cu thermal contact at the Nb/Cu interface over the cavity surface. Starting from the experimental curves, using inverse problem methods, we deduce the distribution functions generating those curves. The technique has been applied to cavities by different groups, including LNL/INFN and ISOLDE/CERN. In all cases to explain the data it is sufficient to assume that only a small fraction of the film over the cavity surface is in poor thermal contact with the substrate. The distribution functions typically follow a simple power-law statistical distribution and are temperature independent. The full analysis supports the hypothesis that the main origin of the Q-slope in thin film cavities is indeed related to bad adhesion at the Nb/Cu interface.

TUYBA03 The Way of Thick Films toward a Flat Q-curve in Sputtered Cavities ion, cavity, niobium, site 378

  Thick films have bulk like properties. In this paper it is explored the possibility to sputter 70 micron thick films in order to get rid of the Q-slope in Niobium sputtered Cop-per Cavities. An innovative method based on the multi-layer deposition of zero-stress single layers is reported. The deposition of zero-stress thick films into 6 GHz Cop-per seamless cavities, has shown the possibility to obtain straight curves for the Q-factor versus accelerating fields

In order to fully understand nitrogen addition techniques it is vital to have a full understanding of the material, including the content, location, and speciation of nitrogen contained in the treated Nb. In this work Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is used to elucidate content and location. Dynamic SIMS nitrogen analysis is reported, for the first time, for "as-received" cavity grade niobium from three separate suppliers. In addition, a number of method and instrumental issues are discussed including depth resolution, detection limit, and quantification.
