Cornell University has developed a SCRF injector cryomodule for the acceleration of high current, low emittance beams in continuous wave operation. This cryomodule is based on 1.3 GHz superconducting RF technology, and has been tested extensively in the Cornell ERL injector prototype with world record CW beam currents exceeding 70 mA. High CW RF power input couplers and strong Higher-Order-Mode damping in the cavities are essential for high beam current operation. This paper summarizes the performance of the cryomodule during the high beam current operation.

Future SRF linac driven accelerators operated in CW mode will require very efficient SRF cavities with high intrinsic quality factors Q at medium accelerating fields. Cornell has recently finished testing the fully equipped 1.3 GHz, 7-cell main linac cavity for the Cornell Energy Recovery Linac in a horizontal test cryomodule (HTC). Measurements characterizing the fundamental mode’s quality factor have been completed, showing record Q performance. In this paper, we present detailed quality factor vs gradient results for three HTC assembly stages. We show that the performance of an SRF cavity can be maintained when installed into a cryomodule, and that thermal cycling reduces residual surface resistance. We present world record results for a fully equipped multicell cavity in a cryomodule, reaching intrinsic quality factors at operating accelerating field of Q(E =16.2 MV/m, 1.8K) > 6·1010 and Q(E =16.2 MV/m, 1.6K) > 1.0·1011, corresponding to a very low residual surface resistance of 1.1 nOhm.

  On successful assembly and preliminary testing of an optimised SRF cryomodule for application on ERL accelerators, which is being developed through an international collaboration the cryomodule has been installed on the 35 MeV ALICE (Accelerators and Lasers in Combined Experiments) Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) facility at STFC Daresbury Laboratory. Existing cryogenic infrastructure has a capacity to deliver approximately 120 W cooling power at 2 K, but the HOM (Higher Order Mode) absorbers, the thermal intercepts for the high power RF couplers and the radiation shield in the cryomodule are designed to be cooled (to 5 K and 80 K) with gaseous helium instead of liquid nitrogen. As a result the cryogenic infrastructure for ALICE had to be modified to meet these additional requirements. In this paper we describe our experience with the process of integration and the cryogenic commissioning, and present some initial results.

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).

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.

  A high-sensitive temperature mapping system for multi-cell SRF cavities has been constructed at Cornell University. The resolution of the system is 1mK. Hence it’s able to detect small temperature increases when cavities reach at low accelerating gradients e.g. 3MV/m. The surface resistivity of superconductor under radio-frequency electromagnetic field can be calculated from the temperature increases. In this contribution, the surface resistance map of multi-cell SRF cavities is shown. The temperature mapping result is possible to establish a relationship between the surface resistivity and the magnetic field as well. Unlike the RF method which is average value of the surface resistance, the T-map results give local surface resistivity versus magnetic field. BCS theory assumes the surface resistivity is independent to the magnetic field. The T-map results, however, suggest that the surface resistance at high-loss region is field dependent and caused Q-slope.

  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

  The phase 1 R&D program launched in preparation to building a 5 GeV Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) at Cornell, a full main linac cryomodule is currently built, housing six 7-cell cavities. In order to control the beam break-up limit, the shape of the cavity was highly optimized and stringent tolerances on the cavity production were targeted. We will report on the details of the cavity production, the accuracy of the cups forming the individual cells, the trimming procedure for the dumbbells, the cavity tuning and final accuracy of the cavity concerning field flatness, resonant frequency and overall length within this small series production.

  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.

The Cornell energy recovery linac will accelerate a 100 mA beam to 5 GeV, while maintaining very low emittance (30 pm at 77 pC bunch charge). A major challenge to running such a large current continuously through the machine is the effect of strong higher-order modes (HOMs) in the SRF cavities that can lead to beam breakup. This paper presents the results of HOM studies for the prototype 7-cell cavity installed in a horizontal test cryomodule (HTC). HOM measurements were done for three HTC assembly stages, from initial measurements on the bare cavity to being fully outfitted with side-mounted RF input coupler and beam line HOM absorbers. We compare the simulated results of the optimized cavity geometry with measurements from all three HTC experiments, demonstrating excellent damping of all dipole higher order modes.
