| The performance of niobium cavities has approached
the theoretical hard limit. Yet the consistent achievement
of higher performing cavities remains the greatest
challenge. To further understand the basic materials
science, a workshop was held at Fermilab in May 2007 to
present and discuss the fundamental and experimental
limitations, and propose new ideas. | |

| A condition for Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR)
can be established inside a fully assembled RF cavity
without the need for removing high-power couplers. As
such, plasma generated by this process can be used as a
final cleaning step, or as an alternative cleaning step in
place of other techniques. We will describe the current
effort to study plasma cleaning by ECR in a 3.9GHz
cavity. | |

| Lorentz force detuning compensation of TESLA type
cavities using commercially available piezo electric
actuators was first demonstrated at DESY [1].
Compensating for Lorentz force detuning to avoid
excessive RF power requirements is critical for high
gradient cavities such as the ones proposed for the ILC.
For this reason, Fermilab is working on issues related to
range, reliability, and automation of SRF cavity fast
tuners. A mechanical resonance excitation method is used
to increase the piezo tuner range. In order to study the
long-term reliability of the design a strain-gauge based
sensor was developed, which monitors the piezo tuner
preload continuously. A feed forward Lorentz force
detuning compensation algorithm using the forward
power signal, the field probe signal, and the phase
difference between them has been developed. This
algorithm is being implemented in a hybrid PC/FPGA
based control system providing automated signal
acquisition, system identification, and waveform
playback. In parallel, an FPGA based real-time cavity
simulator has been developed to validate the performance
of the system prior to its deployment and to provide a testbed
for further detuning and microphonics algorithm
development. The control system will be used to
compensate for cavity detuning in the first cryomodule
installed in the ILC Test Area at Fermilab. In tests of the
algorithm using CCII at a gradient of 26 MV/m,
compensation with a fast piezo tuner reduced the Lorentz
Force detuning from 275 Hz to 20 Hz. This compensation
resulted in a corresponding decrease of the peak klystron
power requirement from 120% to 105% of the nominal
power on resonance. | |

| Ultra short bunches with high peak current are required for the creation of high brilliance coherent light in the x-ray range in undulators. At the European x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) they will be obtained by a two stage bunch compression scheme based on off the rf field crest acceleration and transverse magnetic chicanes. The deviation of the rf field's sine shape from a straight line leads to long bunch tails and reduce peak current. This effect will be eliminated by adding a third harmonic rf system. The paper surveys the basic principle for the third harmonic rf, the most relevant design parameters, the actual status of beam physical examinations and potential concepts for the technical realization. | |

| Fermilab is involved in an effort to assemble 3.9 GHz
superconducting RF cavities into a four cavity
cryomodule for use at the DESY TTF/FLASH facility as a
third harmonic structure. The design gradient of the
cavities is 14 MV/m. This effort involves design,
fabrication, intermediate testing, assembly, and eventual
delivery of the cryomodule. We report on all facets of this
enterprise from design through future plans. Included will
be test results of single 9-cell cavities, lessons learned,
and current status. | |
