TUP048 | Preparations and VT Results of ERL7-cell at Cornell | 521 |
|
||
We have fabricated 7 ERL 7-cell cavities for Cornell ERL project. 4 nu-stiffened and 3-stiffened cavities have been fabricated in house so far. Specification values of our 7-cell is 16.2MV/m with Qo of 2.0·1010 at 1.8K. In this report, we will describe our surface treatments recipe which is based on BCP and the results of vertical tests of these 7-cell cavities. | ||
TUP058 | Recent Findings on Nitrogen Treated Niobium | 558 |
|

Recent findings on Nitrogen treated Niobiums Based on recent findings at Fermilab, Cornell investigated the role of Nitrogen being present during the cavity hydrogen degassing process. We treated several samples at different temperatures being exposed to nitrogen between 10 minutes and 3 hours at pressures around 15 mbar as well as single cell cavities. This contribution will summarize our findings from surface analysis, Tc measurements and cavity Qs, addressing the question, if such a process can form Niobium-Nitride. | ||
TUP059 | TM-Furnace Qualification at Cornell | 561 |
|
||
Cornell's SRF group had new vacuum furnace for hydrogen degassing of SRF Nb cavity. Systematic study and testing have been done to qualify this new furnace. We will report the results of those qualification tests include cavity bake and vertical testing. | ||
TUP097 | Study of the Temperature Interface Between Niobium and Superfluid Helium. Temperature Waves Measurements from Heat Sources | 700 |

One of the most important properties of Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities is their ability to disperse generated heat from the internal cavity wall to the external super fluid helium bath. When the generated heat is not removed fast enough, an effect known as thermal feedback dominates, resulting in medium field Q-slope. This medium field Q-slope has the ability to reduce the Q factor should it become strong enough. To determine what physical factors affect the creation of the medium field Q-slope we will be computationally modeling the medium field Q-slope with varying parameters, such as Kapitza conductivity, wall thickness, RF frequency, bath temperature, residual resistivity ratio, residual resistance, and phonon mean path. Our results show that the medium-field Q slope is highly dependent on the Kapitza conductivity and that by doubling the Kapitza conductivity the medium field Q-slope reduces significantly. Understanding and controlling the medium field Q-slope will benefit future continuous wave (CW) applications such as the Energy Recovery Linacs (ERL) where cryogenics costs dominate due to CW operation at medium fields (< 20 MV/m). |

TUP104 | Temperature Waves in SRF Research | 719 |
|

Funding: This work has been supported by NSF award PHY-0969959 and DOE award DOE/SC00008431 Previously Cornell University developed Oscillating Superleak Transducers (OST) to locate quench spots on superconducting cavities in superfluid helium. This work builds upon this research and presents a technique to automatically visualize quench locations from OST data (1). This system is now fully automated. The current system consists of between 8 and 16 OSTs, a high gain low noise preamplifier, and a data acquisition card that can log up to 16 simultaneously recorded inputs. The developed software allows computing quench locations on various cavity geometries, adjustment of the location of each OST and a choice between several quench finding algorithms. Observed results are in excellent agreement with optical inspection and temperature map data. 1. http://newsline.linearcollider.org/2011/04/21/the-sound-of-accelerator-cavitie |

THIOB02 | High Q Cavities for the Cornell ERL Main Linac | 844 |
|
||
While SRF research for linear colliders was focused on achieving high gradients, Cornell’s proposal for an energy recovery linac (ERL) demanded for low cw losses. Starting several years ago, a high-Q R&D phase was launched that led to remarkable results recently: A fully dressed cavity (7 cells, 1.3 GHz) with side-mounted input coupler and beamline HOM absorbers achieved a Q of 3.5·1010 ((16 MV/m, 1.8 K). This talk will review the staged approach we have chosen in testing a single cavity in a horizontal short cryomodule (HTC), report results on each step and conclude on our findings about preserving high Q from vertical testing. We also discuss the production of six additional cavities as we progress toward constructing a full 6-cavity cryomodule as a prototype for Cornell’s main linac module | ||

High Voltage Cavity R&D at Cornell, RE and ICHIRO | |
|
||
We have been investigated 1.3GHz high gradient SRF Nb cavity with shape of low Hpk/Eacc, such as re-entrant(RE) and KEK low-loss (ICHIRO) shapes. We have single-/multi-cell RE cavities and ICHIRO single-cell cavities at Cornell. We have processed those cavities based on buffered chemical-polishing(BCP), vertical electro-polishing(VEP), and centrifugal barrel-polsihing(CBP). In this paper, we will report the details of processes and the results of vertical tests of these cavities. | ||
