TUPTB045 | PIP-II SSR2 Cavities Fabrication and Processing Experience | 526 |
|
||
The Proton Improvement Plan-II (PIP-II) linac will include 35 Single Spoke Resonators type 2 (SSR2). A pre-production SSR2 cryomodule will contain 5 jacketed cavities. Several units are already manufactured and prepared for cold testing. In this work, data collected from the fabrication, processing and preparation of the cavities will be presented and the improvements implemented after the completion of the first unit will be highlighted. | ||

WECAA01 | Progress in European Thin Film Activities | 607 |
|
||
Funding: This project has received funding from the European Union s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 101004730. Thin-film cavities with higher Tc superconductors (SC) than Nb promise to move the operating temperature from 2 to 4.5 K with savings 3 orders of magnitude in cryogenic power consumption. Several European labs are coordinating their efforts to obtain a first 1.3 GHz cavity prototype through the I.FAST collaboration and other informal collaborations with CERN and DESY. R&D covers the entire production chain. In particular, new production techniques of seamless Copper and Niobium elliptical cavities via additive manufacturing are studied and evaluated. New acid-free polishing techniques to reduce surface roughness in a more sustainable way such as plasma electropolishing and metallographic polishing have been tested. Optimization of coating parameters of higher Tc SC than Nb (Nb₃Sn, V₃Si, NbTiN) via PVD and multilayer via ALD are on the way. Finally, rapid heat treatments such as Flash Lamp Annealing and Laser Annealing are used to avoid or reduce Cu diffusion in the SC film. The development and characterization of SC coatings is done on planar samples, 6 GHz cavities, choke cavities, QPR and 1.3 GHz cavities. This work presents the progress status of these coordinated efforts. |

WEIBA01 | Surface Engineering by ALD for Superconducting RF Cavities | 615 |
|
||
Atomic Layer Deposition is a synthesis method that enable a unique control of thin films chemical composition and thickness over complex shape objects such as SRF cavities. This level of control opens the way to new surface treatments and to study their effect on RF cavity performances. We will present coupon and, in some cases, preliminary cavity results, from various surface engineering routes based on the deposition of thin oxides and nitrides films combined with post annealing treatments and study their interactions with the niobium. Three main research directions will be presented: 1/ replacing the niobium oxides by other surface layers (Al₂O₃, Y2O3, MgO) and probe their effect on the low and high field performances, 2/ doping with N and combine approaches 1/ and 2/ and finally 3/ optimize the superconducting properties of NbTiN multilayers on Nb and Sapphire. | ||

Funding: ENSAR-2 under grant agreement N° 654002. IFAST under Grant Agreement No 101004730. The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics under contract DE-AC05-06OR23177. This talk is an overview of the metallographic polishing R&D program covering Niobium and Copper substrates treatment for thin film coating as an alternative fabrication pathway for 1.3 GHz elliptical cavities. The presented research is the result of a collaborative effort between IJCLab, CEA/Irfu, HZB, and KEK in order to develop innovative surface processing and cavity fabrication protocols capable of meeting stringent requirements for SRF surfaces, including the reduction of safety risks and ecological footprint, enhancing reliability, improving the surface roughness, and potentially allowing cost reduction.

WEPWB050 | Exploring Innovative Pathway for SRF Cavity Fabrication | 680 |
|
||
Funding: ENSAR-2 under grant agreement N° 654002. The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics under contract DE-AC05-06OR23177. This article shows a study on an alternative pathway for the fabrication of a complete 1.3 GHz SRF cavity, aiming at improving production reliability, reducing the use of chemical polishing (EP or BCP) which is a costly and safety-critical step, and preserving surface quality after forming. Unlike the conventional pathway, the fabrication process is performed after polishing. This point is crucial as the used polishing technology could be applied only to flat geometries. The performed investigation demonstrates that damages during the fabrication process are considered minor, localized, and limited to the near-surface. Moreover, these studies confirm that the damaged layer (100-200 µm) is mainly caused by the rolling process, and not by the subsequent fabrication steps. A laser confocal microscope and SEM-EBSD technique were used to compare samples before and after forming. The preliminary results are discussed and presented in this paper. |

Funding: Work supported by IN2P3. Work supported, in part, by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics, under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359. IJCLab is one of the labs of IN2P3 (National institute of nuclear and particle physics), one of the ten research institutes composing the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). Since 2018, IJCLab has been involved in the PIP-II project, assisting with the design, development, and qualification of accelerator components for the SSR2 (Single Spoke Resonator type 2) section of the superconducting linac. The first pre-production components (cavity, coupler, and tuner) have been fabricated, and some of the first qualification tests have been performed at IJCLab. This paper will summarize the complete scope of IJCLab¿s contributions to PIP-II and give updates on the performances of the first pre-production components. |

WEPWB094 | Design, Manufacturing, Assembly, and Lessons Learned of the Pre-Production 325 MHz Couplers for the PIP-II Project at Fermilab | 806 |
|
||
Funding: This manuscript has been authored by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics. Five 325 MHz high-power couplers will be integrated into the pre-production Single Spoke Resonator Type-II (ppSSR2) cryomodule for the PIP-II project at Fermilab. Couplers were procured by both Fermilab and IJCLAB for this effort. The design of the coupler is described, including design optimizations from the previous generation. This paper then describes the coupler life cycle, including design, manufacturing, and assembly, along with the lessons learned at each stage. |

IJCLab is involved in the PIP-II project on the design and development of accelerator components for the SSR2 (Single Spoke Resonator type 2) section of the superconducting linac. Five prototype tuners have been built and are being tested at IJCLab. After a short description of the tuner, this paper reports on the procurement strategy and the performance observed at both room and low temperatures in vertical cryostat test with SSR2 prototype cavities. This paper will also share results on accelerated lifetime tests performed in a dedicated nitrogen-cooled cryostat. |

THIAA04 | Performance Analysis of Spoke Resonators, Statistics from Cavity Fabrication to Cryomodule Testing | 940 |
|
||
Irène Joliot-Curie Laboratory (IJCLab) has been leading the development of spoke resonators in multiple interna- tional SRF projects, from fundamental R&D, prototyping, to series production. The European Spallation Source (ESS) superconducting linac is the first of its kind to put into op- eration the spoke resonators. After three prototype cavities, 29 ESS production cavities have been processed, tested, as- sembled into cryomodules at IJCLab, and then shipped to Uppsala for the site acceptance test. Seven prototypes for two other major projects, Multi-purpose hYbrid Research Reactor for High-tech Application (MYRRHA) and Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II), designed in collaboration with external institutions, have as well been processed and tested at IJCLab. A new challenge is to fully process series cavi- ties in industry, following the successful implementation of 1.3 GHz elliptical cavities in the other projects. This paper summarises main results obtained from fabrication to final testing, including frequency tuning strategy, performance, limitation in vertical cryostat, and identifies future direction of projects and R&D in the field of spoke cavities. | ||
