R&D on the nitrogen infusion process at DESY produced at the beginning a series of 1.3 GHz single-cell cavities which have shown severe deterioration in the vertical cold test which was completely unexpected and could not be explained. To investigate the reason for the deterioration, one of those cavities was optically inspected and a T- and H-Map test was done in collaboration with HZB. Together with 2nd Sound data, regions of interests were identified and cut from the cavity. Subsequent surface analysis techniques (SEM/EDX, SIMS, PIXE, EBSD, DB-PAS, PALS, XPS) were applied in order to identify the reason for the deterioration. Especially the differences between hot and cold spots as well as quench spots identified by T-Mapping were investigated.

MOP063	Beam Loading in the BESSY VSR SRF Cavities	217
	A.V. Tsakanian, H.-W. Glock, J. Knobloch, A.V. Vélez HZB, Berlin, Germany
	The BESSY VSR upgrade of the BESSY II light source represents a novel approach to simultaneously store long (ca. 15 ps) and short (ca. 1.7 ps) bunches in the storage ring at currents up to 300 mA. This challenging goal requires installation of four new 4-cell SRF cavities (2x1.5 GHz and 2x1.75 GHz) in one module for installation in a single straight. As far as we are aware of, this is the first installation of multi-cell L-Band cavities in a high-current storage ring. These cavities are equipped with newly developed waveguide HOM dampers necessary for stable operation. Up to 2 kW of HOM power must be absorbed. Operating two SRF cavities for each frequency will also enable transparent parking of the cavities for the beam. Based on wakefield theory, a technique for beam loading calculation will be presented. The expected beam loading both at 2 K and at room temperature has been analyzed to evaluate transparent parking for both situations. The presented study is performed for various BESSY II and VSR bunch filling patterns with 300 mA beam current.

MOP105	A Superconducting Magnetic Shield for the Photoelectron Injector of BERLinPro	335
	J. Völker, A. Frahm, A. Jankowiak, S. Keckert, J. Knobloch, G. Kourkafas, O. Kugeler, A. Neumann, H. Plötz HZB, Berlin, Germany
	Magnetic fields are a big issue for SRF cavities, especially in areas with strong electromagnets or ferromagnetic materials. Magnetic shieldings consisting of metal alloys with high magnetic permeability are often used to reroute the external magnetic flux from the cavity region. Those Mu metal shields are typically designed for weak magnetic fields like Earth’s magnetic field. Next to strong magnetic field sources like superconducting (SC) solenoids, those shields can be easily saturated resulting in a degradation of the shielding efficiency and a permanent magnetization. For the photoinjector of BERLinPro a new SC solenoid will be installed inside the cryomodule next to the SRF gun cavity. Calculations show that the fringe fields of the solenoid during operation can saturate the cavity Mu-metal shields. Therefore we designed an SC magnetic shield placed between solenoid and cavity shield to protect the latter during magnet operation. In this paper we will present the design and first measurements of this SC magnetic shield.

TUFUB3	Mapping Flux Trapping in SRF Cavities to Analyze the Impact of Geometry	364
	F. Kramer, J. Knobloch, O. Kugeler, J.M. Köszegi HZB, Berlin, Germany J. Knobloch University of Siegen, Siegen, Germany
	A combined temperature and magnetic field mapping system was used to investigate the impact of an ambient field on trapped flux and on the resulting local surface resistance. For this, a 1.3 GHz TESLA single cell cavity was cooled through the superconducting transition at different magnetic field angles with respect to the cavity axis. The measurements suggest, that the field is trapped homogeneously over the cavity volume, without changing its orientation. Flux trapped perpendicular the surface contributed significantly more to the surface resistance, than trapped flux parallel to the surface.

TUP059	Investigation of Trapped Flux Dynamics via DC-Magnetic Quenching	580
	P. Nuñez von Voigt, J. Knobloch, O. Kugeler HZB, Berlin, Germany J. Knobloch University of Siegen, Siegen, Germany
	Trapped magnetic flux increases the surface resistance in superconducting radio-frequency cavities. A better understanding of its behaviour could help to develop a method of expelling trapped flux from the superconducting surface. Using a superconducting coil with ferrite core attached to a 3 GHz sample Niobium cavity fully immersed in liquid Helium, we were able to subject the cavity walls to unusually large magnetic fields (estimated > 150 mT) and create magnetic quenches. With Fluxgate sensors attached in three spatial directions inside the cavity, we were able to monitor the quench dynamics and extract parameters of the flux dynamics from the hysteretic behaviour of the measured fields resulting from the applied coil current. First results of manipulation of the trapped flux with high magnetic fields are presented.

	Funding: EASITrain - European Advanced Superconductivity Innovation and Training. This Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action Innovative Training Networks founded by H₂020 under Grant Agreement no. 764879 Superconducting thin films have great potential as post-Nb material for use in SRF applications in future accelerators and industry. To test the RF-performance of such films in practice, would require the building and coating of a full RF cavity. Deposition of thin films on such scales in test facilities are challenging, in particular when curved surfaces have to be coated. This greatly complicates their systematic research. In this contribution we report on the method we use to characterize small and flat thin film samples (Deposited onto both Nb and Cu substrates) in an actual cavity named the Quadrupole Resonator (QPR). We also summarize the latest measurement results of NbTiN thin films. The Quadrupole Resonator at HZB is a tool that is able to perform SRF characterizations at frequencies ~415, 847, 1300 MHz with RF fields using an RF-DC power compensation technique.

WETEB4	Virtual SRF Cavity: Testing SRF Cavity Support Systems Without the Hassle of Liquid Helium and Klystrons	770
	P. Echevarria, J. Knobloch, A. Neumann, A. Ushakov HZB, Berlin, Germany E. Aldekoa, J. Jugo University of the Basque Country, Faculty of Science and Technology, Bilbao, Spain
	Setting up and debugging SRF support systems, such as LLRF control, quench detection, microphonics and Lorentz-force detuning control, etc., often requires extensive time spent operating the cavities. This results in time consuming and costly operation. Early into the development stages the actual cavity system may not even be available. It is therefore highly desirable to pre-evaluate these systems under realistic conditions prior to final testing with the SRF cavities. We devised an FPGA-based "virtual cavity" that takes a regular low-level RF input and generates the signals for RF-power reflection, transmission and detuning that mimic the response of a real cavity system. As far as the user is concerned, the response is the same as for a real cavity. This "black-box" model includes mechanical modes, Lorentz force detuning, a field depended quality factor, quenches and variable input coupling and is currently being expanded. We present the model and show some applications for operating the quench detection, LLRF and microphonics control for 1.3 GHz BERLinPro cavities. The same system can be used for other cavity types, including normal conducting cavities.

WETEB9	Design Development for the 1.5 GHz Couplers for BESSY VSR	795
	E. Sharples, M. Dirsat, J. Knobloch, Z. Muza, A.V. Vélez HZB, Berlin, Germany
	The Variable pulse length Storage Ring (BESSY VSR) is a superconducting radio frequency (SRF) upgrade to the existing BESSY II storage ring at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB). BESSY VSR uses the RF beating of superconducting cavities at 1.5 GHz and 1.75 GHz to produce simultaneously long and short bunches. Higher power couplers capable of handling 13 kW peak power at standing wave operation, are required to provide an average power of 1.5 kW for both the 1.5 GHz and 1.75 GHz cavities. These couplers must also provide variable coupling with a range of Q_ext from 6x10⁶ to 6x10⁷ to allow flexibility to adjust to operating conditions of BESSY VSR. Here the full design development process for the 1.5 GHZ BESSY VSR coupler is presented including the design for a diagnostic prototype to ensure comprehensive monitoring of critical components during testing and cool-down.

THFUA1	RF Characterization of an S-I-S’ Multilayer Sample	800
	S. Keckert, J. Knobloch, O. Kugeler, D.B. Tikhonov HZB, Berlin, Germany A-M. Valente-Feliciano JLab, Newport News, Virginia, USA
	S-I-S’ multilayers promise to boost the performance of bulk superconductors in terms of maximum field and surface resistance. At HZB, RF-surface resistance measurements were performed with a Quadrupole Resonator (QPR) and an S-I-S’ sample (75 nm NbTiN on 15 nm AlN insulator on bulk Nb) prepared at JLab. Measurements were performed at 414, 845, and 1286 MHz at sample temperatures from 2 K up to well above the transition temperature of NbTiN of ~17.3 K. The Rs exhibits an unexpected temperature dependence: Rather than rising monotonically, as expected from BCS theory, a local maximum is observed. There is a temperature range where Rs decreases with increasing temperature. Such behavior indicates that an additional interaction between the superconducting layers may have to be included in the surface resistance model. Measurements of the baseline Nb sample prior to coating exhibited no such behavior; hence systematic measurement errors can be excluded as the explanation. The maximum field was limited by a hard magnetic quench near 20 mT, close to Hc1 of NbTiN, suggesting that the sample is limited by early flux penetration.
