The 1.3 GHz cavity test program at TRIUMF for the ARIEL eLINAC progressed into its next stage: Going from single cell cavity tests to demonstrate the operating Q and gradient for ARIEL can be reached at TRIUMF to nine cell cavity tests for production cavities. Single cell cavity tests at TRIUMF showed a comparable performance to a characterization done on the same cavity at FNAL last year. These single cell tests showed that the operating point for ARIEL of Q0 > 1010 at 10 MV/m during 2 K operation can be reached and exceeded at TRIUMF. To prepare for the first ARIEL nine cell cavity, a test with a TESLA nine cell cavity was done. This included frequency and field tuning, etching via BCP, HPR and assembly in a class 10 clean environment as well as modifications to the cryo assembly and upgrades to the 2 K pumping system. The performance of this TESLA cavity and the performance of first ARIEL nine cell cavity produced by PAVAC will be shown. | ||
