  The production of superconducting coatings for radio frequency cavities is a rapidly developing field that should ultimately lead to acceleration gradients greater than those obtained by bulk Nb RF cavities. Optimizing superconducting properties of Nb thin-films is therefore essential. Nb films were deposited by magnetron sputtering in pulsed DC mode onto Si (100) and MgO (100) substrates and also by high impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) onto Si (100), MgO (100) and polycrystalline Cu. The films were characterised using scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and DC SQUID magnetometry.

  The Helical Cooling Channel scheme envisioned for a Muon Collider or Neutrino Factory requires high pressure gas filled radio frequency cavities to operate in superconducting magnets. One method to shrink the radii of the cavities is to load them with a dielectric material. The dielectric constant, loss tangent, and dielectric strength are important in determining the most suitable material. Low powered RF measurements of the dielectric constant and loss tangent were taken for multiple purities of alumina and magnesium calcium titanate, as well as cordierite, forsterite, and aluminum nitride. Measurements of alumina were consistent with previously reported results. The results were used to design an insert for a high powered RF test that included sending beam through the cavity.

WEPTY075 Hc2 Measurements of Nb3Sn and Nitrogen-doped Niobium using Physical Property Measurement System niobium, SRF, controls, superconductivity 3458

  The measurement of the upper critical field of a type-2 superconductor, Hc2, is an important step in determining its superconducting properties, and therefore its suitability as a material in SRF cavities. However, measuring Hc2 directly can be challenging, as performing electrical measurements causes changes in the very properties one seeks to measure. We present a method for extracting Hc2 from resistivity measurements made near the transition temperature for varied applied fields and excitation currents. We also present results of these measurements made on Nb3Sn and nitrogen-doped niobium.

WEPTY077 On Quench Propagation, Quench Detection, and Second Sound in SRF Cavities niobium, cavity, simulation, SRF 3464

  The detection of a second sound wave, excited by a quench, has become a valuable tool in diagnosing hot spots and performance limitations of superconducting cavities. Several years ago, Cornell developed an oscillating super-leak transducer (OST) for these waves that nowadays are used world-wide. In a usual set-up, several OSTs surround the cavity, and the quench location is determined by triangulation of the different OST signals. Convenient as the method is there is a small remaining mystery: taking the well-known velocity of the second sound wave, the quench seems to come from a place slightly above the cavity’s outer surface. We will present a model based on numerical quench propagation simulations and analytic geometrical calculations that help explain the discrepancy.

Thermal diffusion of nitrogen in superconducting radio frequency cavities at temperatures around 800C has resulted in the increase in quality factor with a low-field Q-rise. However, the maximum accelerating gradients of these doped cavities often reduces below the values achieved by standard treatments. In this contribution, we present the results of the nitrogen diffusion into ingot niobium cavities subjected to successive material removal from the inner cavity surface by electropolishing in an effort to explore the underlying cause for the gradient degradation.

WEPWI016 Investigation of Differential Surface Removal due to Electropolishing at JLab cavity, simulation, cathode, SRF 3525

  Surface chemistry carried out for Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities such as Buffered Chemical Polishing (BCP) and Electropolishing (EP) aims to uniformly remove the internal surface of a cavity along the entire structure and within each cell from equator to iris in order to obtain an equally etched surface. A uniform removal however is not readily achievable due to the complex fluid flow and varying temperatures of the acid mixture, which can lead to differential etching. This needs to be considered when envisaging a certain surface damage removal throughout the interior. The process-specific differential etching influences the target frequency set at the manufacturing stage as well as the field flatness and length of the as-built cavity. We report on analyses of JLab's present EP system using experimental data for six nine-cell cavities that have been processed recently in the frame of the LCLS-II high-Q development plan. In conjunction with numerical simulations, the differential etching and the impact on field flatness is assessed.

  It was recently shown that diffusing nitrogen on the inner surface of superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities at high temperature can improve the quality factor of the niobium cavity. However, a reduction of the quench field is also typically found. To better understand the location of rf losses and quench, we used a thermometry system to map the temperature of the outer surface of ingot Nb cavities after nitrogen doping and electropolishing. Surface temperature of the cavities was recorded while increasing the rf power and also during the quenching. The results of thermal mapping showed no precursor heating on the cavities and quenching to be ignited near the equator where the surface magnetic field is maximum. Hot-spots at the equator area during multipacting were also detected by thermal mapping.
