MOP004 | Preparation of Pb-Photocathodes at National Centre for Nuclear Research in Poland – State of the Art | cathode, electron, plasma, gun | 25 |
|
|||
Funding: We are currently using a financial support within "PolFEL - Polish Free Electron Laser" cofounded by the European Regional Development Fund. R&D activities related to preparation of the superconducting Pb photocathode layer on niobium substrate are ongoing at the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) in cooperation with DESY, HZDR, HZB, BNL and other research institutes. The activities are part of the R&D program at DESY for the cw-upgrade of E-XFEL and for the newly approved free electron laser facility PolFEL to be built and operated at NCBJ. The optimization results obtained for the lead deposition on niobium and smoothing of the coated layers are reported. The photocathodes samples were tested for their surface morphology, microstructure and quantum efficiency in terms of the impact on the operation of all-superconducting RF electron injector, proposed for both facilities. |

MOP014 | Electroplating of Sn Film on Nb Substrate for Generating Nb3Sn Thin Films and Post Laser Annealing | cavity, radio-frequency, electron, HOM | 51 |
|

Controlling film quality of Nb3Sn is critical to its SRF cavity performance. The state-of-the-art vapor diffusion approach for Nb3Sn deposition observed surface roughness, thin grain regions, and misfit dislocations which negatively affect the RF performance. The Sn deficiency and non-uniformity at the nucleation stage of vapor deposition is believed to be the fundamental reason to cause these roughness and defects issues. Thus, we propose to pre-deposit a uniform Sn film on the Nb substrate, which is able to provide sufficient Sn source during the following heat treatment for Nb3Sn nucleation and growth. Here, we demonstrated successful electrodeposition of a low-roughness, dendrite-free, excellent-adhesion Sn film on the Nb substrate. More importantly, we further achieved a uniform, low-roughness (Ra = 66 nm), pure-stoichiometric Nb3Sn film through thermal treatment of this electroplated Sn film in the furnace. Additionally, we provide preliminary results of laser annealing as a post treatment for epitaxial grain growth and roughness reduction. | |||

THP009 | Pulse Laser Annealing of Niobium Film on Copper for SRF Cavities | niobium, cavity, experiment, interface | 848 |
|
|||
Thin film cavities were proposed as the most promis-ing next generation superconducting cavities. The chal-lenges are improving the surface superconducting per-formance and reducing defects of the coating film, which can be greatly solved by laser annealing. Laser annealing system has been set up in Peking University, and experi-ments with niobium thin film sample have been carried out. Superconducting performance and other properties of Nb/Cu samples before and after annealing were com-pared. Recrystallization happened and surface structure improved a lot according to the results. | |||

THP029 | Towards Real-time Data Processing using FPGA Technology for High-speed Data Acquisition System at MHz Repetition Rates | FPGA, detector, experiment, electron | 905 |
|
|||
Accelerator-based light sources, in particular, those based on linear accelerators, are intrinsically less stable than lasers or other more conventional light sources because of their large scale. In order to achieve optimal data quality, the properties of each light pulse need to be detected and implemented into the analysis of each experiment. Such schemes are of particular advantage in 4th generation light sources based on superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology, since here the combination of pulse-resolved detection schemes with high-repetition-rate is particularly fruitful. Implementation of several different purpose-built CMOS linear array detector will enable to perform arrival-time measurements at MHz repetition rates. An architecture based on FPGA technology will allow an online analysis of the measured data at MHz repetition rate and will decrease the amount of data throughput and disk capacity for storing the data by orders of magnitude. In this contribution, we will outline how the pulse-resolved data acquisition scheme of the TELBE user facility shall be upgraded to allow operation at MHz repetition rates and sub-femtosecond timing precision. | |||

THP041 | Impact of the Cu Substrate Surface Preparation on the Morphological, Superconductive and RF Properties of the Nb Superconductive Coatings | cavity, SRF, radiation, niobium | 935 |
|
|||
Funding: This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 730871. Nowadays, one of the main issues of the superconducting thin film resonant cavities is the Cu surface preparation. A better understanding of the impact of copper surface preparation on the morphological, superconductive (SC) and RF properties of the coating, is mandatory in order to improve the performances of superconducting cavities by coating techniques. ARIES H2020 collaboration includes a specific work package (WP15) to study the influence of Cu surface polishing on the SRF performances of Nb coatings that involves a team of 8 research groups from 7 different countries. In the present work, a comparison of 4 different polishing processes for Cu (Tumbling, EP, SUBU, EP+SUBU) is presented through the evaluation of the SC and morphological properties of Nb thin film coated on Cu planar samples and QPR samples, polished with different procedures. Effects of laser annealing on Nb thin films have also been studied. Different surface characterizations have been applied: roughness measurements, SEM, EDS, XRD, AFM, and thermal and photo-stimulated exoelectrons measurements. SC properties were evaluated with PPMS, and QPR measurements will be carry out at HZB in the beginning of 2019. |
