  This paper presents results of quench localization on 3.9 GHz XFEL prototype cavities tested at LASA vertical test facility. Cavities have been equipped with OST second sound detectors and thermometry sensors. A first guess for quench position has been obtained from modal analysis. Second sound sensors confirmed the quench position resolving also the symmetry degeneracy given by the RF mode pattern analysis. In a subsequent vertical test, second sound and temperature sensors have been installed nearby the suspect quench position. From Thermometry mapping, a sudden increase in cavity temperature within a small region is evident, therefore confirming that a local thermal breakdown due to defect heating occurs in the predicted quench point. The quench region deduced with the mentioned techniques is eventually compared with results of optical inspection.

  The aim of this project is to develop a system for defect detection by means of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. XRF is a high sensitivity spectroscopy technique allowing the detection of trace element content, such as the few microgram impurities, responsible for low cavity performances if embedded in the equatorial region during cavity manufacturing. The proposed setup is customized on 1.3 GHz TESLA-type niobium cavities: both the detector and the X-ray excitation source are miniaturized so to allow the probe to enter within the 70 mm iris diameter and aside of the HOM couplers. The detection-excitation geometry is focused on cavity cell equator surface located at about 103 mm from the cavity axis, with an intrinsic spot-size of about 10 mm. The measuring head will be settled on a high angular resolution optical inspection system at DESY, exploiting the experience of OBACHT. Defect position is obtained by means of angular inner cavity surface scanning. A quantitative determination of defect content can also be carried out by means of fundamental parameters technique with a Niobium standard calibration.

  The European XFEL linac injector features a third harmonic section jointly realized by INFN and DESY and hosting a 3.9 GHz 9-cell cavities cryomodule. The cold tuning system, developed by INFN for these cavities, is inspired by the coaxial Blade Tuner already qualified for ILC cavities. Design, fabrication and room temperature qualification of first tuner units produced are reviewed in this paper.
