The European XFEL continuous wave upgrade requires cavities with reduced surface resistance (high Q-values) for high duty cycle while maintaining high accelerating gradient for short-pulse operation. A possible way to meet the requirements is the so-called nitrogen infusion procedure. However, a fundamental understanding and a theoretical model of this method are still missing. The approach shown here is based on sample R&D, with the goal to identify key parameters of the process and establish a stable, reproducible recipe. To understand the underlying processes of the surface evolution, which gives improved cavity performance, advanced surface analysis techniques (e.g. SEM/EDX, TEM, XPS, TOF-SIMS) are utilized. Additionally, a small furnace just for samples was set up to change and explore the parameter space of the infusion recipe. Results of these analyses, their implications for the cavity R&D and next steps are presented. | ||

MOP026 | A Cross-Lab Qualification of Modified 120°C Baked Cavities | 90 |
|
||
Funding: This work was supported by the Helmholtz Association within the topic Accelerator Research and Development (ARD) of the Matter and Technologies (MT) Program and by the BMBF under the research grant 05H18GURB1. Within a global effort to understand and standardize the nitrogen-infusion and the low T bake procedure, one large grain and two fine grain single-cell cavity were treated and tested at FNAL and then send to other labs including DESY and JLab for further studies. |

MOP034 | European XFEL: Accelerating Module Repair at DESY | 127 |
|
||
The European XFEL is in operation since 2017. The design projected energy of 17.5 GeV was reached, even with the last 4 main linac accelerating modules not yet installed. 2 out of 4 not installed modules did suffer from strong cavity performance degradation, namely increased field emission, and required surface processing. The first of two modules is reassembled and tested. The module test results confirm a successful repair action. The module repair and test steps are described together with cavities performance evolution. | ||

Surface Analysis of Niobium After Thermal/Gas Treatments via Samples - Review | |
|
||
Thermal treatments of SRF Nb cavities - including the well-established 120°C bake and the recently reported N-infusion - are shown to improve the cavity performance significantly; however, the underlying physical phenomenon is not fully understood. A short review will be presented on surface characterization of niobium material subjected to various thermal and gas exposure protocols and how the findings correlate with observed SRF properties. Moreover, recent results obtained on single-crystal Nb samples - heated in different vacuum environments and characterised by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy will be discussed. | ||

THP080 | Status of the All Superconducting Gun Cavity at DESY | 1087 |
|
||
At DESY, the development of a 1.6-cell, 1.3 GHz all superconducting gun cavity with a lead cathode attached to its back wall is ongoing. The special features of the structure like the back wall of the half-cell and cathode hole require adaptations of the procedures used for the treatment of nine-cell TESLA cavities. Unsatisfactory test results of two prototype cavities motivated us to re-consider the back-wall design and production steps. In this contribution we present the status of the modified cavity design including accessories causing accelerating field asymmetries, like a pick up antenna located at the back wall and fundamental power- and HOM couplers. Additionally, we discuss preliminary considerations for the compensation of kicks caused by these components. | ||
