Alternative BCS superconductors with the superconducting critical temperature higher than that of niobium theoretically surpass the limitations of niobium. The feasibility of technology has been demonstrated at 1.5 GHz with Nb3Sn vapor deposition technique at Wuppertal University. The benefit at these frequencies is more pronounced at 4.2 K, where Nb3Sn coated cavities show RF resistances an order of magnitude lower than that of niobium. At Jefferson Lab we started the development of Nb3Sn vapor diffusion deposition system within an R&D development program towards compact light sources. Here we present the current progress of the system development.
