WEPRI051 | Results from RF Tests of the First US-built High-gradient Superconducting Cryomodule | 2598 |
|
||
Funding: United States Department of Energy, Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 Fermilab has built a cryomodule comprised of eight 1.3 GHz superconducting RF cavities for use in its Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) facility. This cryomodule (RFCA002) was intended to achieve the International Linear Collider (ILC) “S1” goal of demonstrating an average accelerating gradient of 31.5 MV/m, and is the first of its kind built in the United States. The module has been cooled down and operated without beam at ASTA in order to assess its performance. The results from these tests are presented here. |

WEPRI052 | SRF Systems for ASTA at Fermilab | 2601 |
|
||
Funding: Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the United States Department of Energy. The Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) at Fermilab now being commissioned is comprised of a number of superconducting RF systems including single-cavity cryomodules and a TESLA/ILC style 8-cavity cryomodule. Two of them, 'Capture Cavity 2' and 'Cryomodule 2', have been cooled to 2 Kelvin and brought into operation. We provide an overview of the unique characteristics of each of the systems, commissioning experience, and latest results including their respective operating characteristics. |

WEPRI058 | Commissioning Status of the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator at Fermilab | 2615 |
|
||
Funding: *Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the United States Department of Energy. The Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) is under construction at Fermilab. This accelerator will consist of a photo-electron gun, injector, ILC-type cryomodules, and multiple downstream beam-lines. Its purpose is to be a user-based facility for Advanced Accelerator R&D. . Following the successful commissioning of the photoinjector gun, a Tesla style 8-cavity cryomodule and a high gradient capture cavity have been cooled down to 2 K and powered commissioning and performance characterization has begun. We will report on the commissioning status and near-term future plans for the facility. |

WEPRI062 | The Joint High Q0 R&D Program for LCLS-II | 2627 |
|
||
The superconducting RF linac for LCLS-II calls for 1.3 GHz 9-cell cavities with an average intrinsic quality factor Q0 of 2.7·1010 at 2K and 16 MV/m accelerating gradient. A collaborative effort between Cornell University, FNAL, and JLab has been set up with the goal of developing and demonstrating a cavity treatment protocol for the LCLS-II cavities meeting these specifications. The high Q0 treatment protocol is based on nitrogen doping of the RF surface layer during a high temperature heat treatment. This novel SRF cavity preparation was recently developed at FNAL and shown to result in SRF cavities of very high Q0 at 2K with an increase in Q0 from low to medium fields. N-doped single cell cavities at Cornell, FNAL, and JLab routinely exceed LCLS-II specification. 9-cell N-doped cavities at FNAL achieve an average Q0(T=2K, 16 MV/m) of ≈ 3.4·1010 with an average quench field of ≈ 19 MV/m, meeting therefore overall with good margin the LCLS-II specification. | ||
