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. | ||

MOP024 | Vacancy-Hydrogen Dynamics in Samples During Low Temperature Baking | 83 |
|
||
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. The recent discovery of a modified low temperature baking process lead to a reduction of surface losses and an increase of the accelerating gradient of TESLA shape cavities. The hypothesis linking the accelerator performance and the treatment is the suppression of lossy nanohydrides via defect trapping, with vacancy-hydrogen complexes forming at the lower temperatures. Utilizing Doppler broadening Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy and Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy samples made from European XFEL niobium sheets and cavity cut-outs were investigated. The evolution of vacancies, hydrogen and their interaction at different temperature levels have been studied during in-situ annealing. Measurements of niobium samples and a correlation between RF, material properties, and V-H distribution in cavity cut-outs has been done. |

MOP025 | Cavity Cut-out Studies of a 1.3 GHz Single-cell Cavity After a Failed Nitrogen Infusion Process | 87 |
|
||
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. 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. |

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. |

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. | ||

THP004 | Design and Fabrication of a Quadrupole-Resonator for Sample R&D | 838 |
SUSP042 | use link to see paper's listing under its alternate paper code | |
|
||
Being able to obtain BCS and material properties from the same surface is necessary to gain a fundamental understanding of the evolution of SRF surfaces. A test resonator which will allow to obtain BCS properties from samples is currently under development at the University of Hamburg and DESY and is based on the Quadrupole Resonators developed and operated at CERN and HZB. The current status of the necessary infrastructure, the procurement process and design considerations are shown. In addition, an outline of the planed R&D project with the Quadrupole Resonator will be presented and first RF measurements and surface analysis results of samples will be shown | ||

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. | ||

THP102 | Uncertainty Quantification of a Quadrupole-Resonator for Radio Frequency Characterization of Superconductors | 1168 |
|
||
Funding: This work has been supported by the German Federal Ministry for Research and Education BMBF under contract 05H18HRRB1. To explore the fundamental properties of superconducting materials used in modern particle accelerators, high precision surface resistance measurements in a dedicated testing equipment is of key importance. The quadrupole resonator, originally developed at CERN, and then successfully modified at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, is ideally suited for characterization of samples at temperatures of 1.8 K to > 20 K, RF fields of up to 120 mT and frequencies of 433 MHz, 866 MHz and 1.3 GHz. In the past years, this set-up has been subject of intensive research on both its capabilities and limitations. Yet, one of the main challenges is the accuracy of the surface resistance measurement, which is determined by both the uncertainty in the RF measurement and manufacturing imperfections related to the production tolerances such as quenching and chemical polishing processes, etc. In this contribution, we focus on the influence of key geometrical parameters on operating the quadrupole resonator at the third mode, since the surface resistance measurement shows some unexpected behavior for this frequency. * Design and Fabrication of a Quadrupole-Resonator for Sample R&D by M.
