	A new technique to fabricate SCRF cavities with the help of laser welding process has been developed at Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology RRCAT), Indore, Department of Atomic Energy, India. In this technique, a pulsed Nd:YAG laser has been used and welding was performed in inert gas environment, in a specially designed welding rig. The advantages of this technique are reduced cost, small heat affected zone, no necessity to weld in vacuum and enhanced rate of production. The paper describes the technique and fabrication method of a single-cell 1.3 GHz SCRF cavity which was fabricated at RRCAT with this new technique. It also discusses the test result of this cavity which was processed and tested at Fermilab. The cavity reached an Eacc of 17MV/m with a Q0 of 1.4 E +10 at 2K. The cavity is being barrel polished for further improvement.

A new technique to fabricate SCRF cavities with the help of laser welding process has been developed at Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology RRCAT), Indore, Department of Atomic Energy, India. In this technique, a pulsed Nd:YAG laser has been used and welding was performed in inert gas environment, in a specially designed welding rig. The advantages of this technique are reduced cost, small heat affected zone, no necessity to weld in vacuum and enhanced rate of production. The paper describes the technique and fabrication method of a single-cell 1.3 GHz SCRF cavity which was fabricated at RRCAT with this new technique. It also discusses the test result of this cavity which was processed and tested at Fermilab. The cavity reached an Eacc of 17MV/m with a Q0 of 1.4 E +10 at 2K. The cavity is being barrel polished for further improvement.
