2nd Annual Meeting

FermilabOverview
SRF activity at FNAL/ANL is in support of Project X, ILC, or other future SRF projects Explicitly includes industrial development, and associated R&D for improved
performance and reliability, and reduced cost Infrastructure availability and personnel development permit the
development of industrial partners for SRF cavities and cryomodules FNAL philosophy: the laboratory does not duplicate activity or compete
with industrial capability Industry can provide most materials and services more quickly at lower cost Exceptions involve substantial infrastructure, e.g., cryogenic systems
Most of the industrialization focus has been for the ILC, so this talk will be weighted toward ILC (electron) technology Most conclusions are broadly applicable to other SRF projects ...Proton accelerators in particular

FermilabILC cavity: international effort
• ILC cavity fabricators– Research Instruments (Germany)– Zanon (Italy)– Advanced Energy Systems (US)– Niowave and Roark (US)– PAVAC (Canada/US)– Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Japan)– Toshiba (Japan)– Hitachi (Japan)
• ILC cavity processing facilities– DESY– Jefferson Lab– KEK– Fermilab/Argonne joint facility– (Industrial processing facilities: RI, AES, Zanon)
• Results from past 3 years have been collected in worldwide database, as a means to further track progress and provide input to ILC machine design

• Cavity from vendors who have manufactured a cavity that has surpassed 35MV/m in vertical test: – ACCEL or ZANON or (AES SN>=5) or (MHI SN>=12)
• Fine-grain cavity• Use the first successful (= no system problem) test• Standard EP processing: no BCP, no experimental processes• (Ignore test limitation)• Second pass
– if (Eacc(1st successful test)<35 MV/m) then• if (2nd successful test exists) then
– plot 2nd test gradient• else
– plot nothing [assume 2nd test didn’t happen yet]• endif
– else• plot 1st successful test gradient
– endif

FermilabGradient Summary
• Good progress worldwide in cavity production, processing, and test• AES has been qualified as an ILC cavity vendor during this activity• Progress is a partnership between industry and laboratories, results are
dependent on both performing well– Scars, pits, stains, dirt and residue introduced at different steps– Early defects are not typically overcome by the standard processing steps
• The typical learning curve at each company requires a ‘few’ cavities– constant vigilance required afterwards to stay there
• Yield statistics to the ILC specification show improvement with time– Utility of XFEL test data for ILC will be limited by XFEL requirements, but huge data set
• Efforts to exceed ILC gradient spec will continue– Field emission prevention at all gradients remains important
• Laboratory processing and test facilities are coming up to speed, recent throughput at Fermilab for instance is very good

1-cells: 6 fine-grain cavities fabricated – Half use “smart-”bells TE1PAV001-3
• First weld together half-cells, then add beamtubes
– Half use dumb-bells – TE1PAV004-006• First weld each half-cell to a beamtube,
then weld together • “smart bell” cavities exhibited
multipacting ~18-22 MV/m possibly due to unusual shape
9-cells: 10 fine-grain cavities were ordered; order later changed to 650 MHz

Six 1-cells tested extensively from 2008– BCP/VT @Cornell, some had add’l prep/tests– Useful information learned, e.g., defect on die– Primarily being used for commissioning and
materials studies now
Six 9-cells received QC shows fabrication is not yet as stable as other vendors Performance is moderate
Tumbling R&D

• NR flash BCP’d the six 9-cells – insufficient data to comment• AES flash BCP’d the latest batch of six 9-cell cavities – all
show some pitting but performance is typically good– Does BCP cause the pitting?
• Process not well controlled, e.g., acid flow too fast• Pitting worse on lower surface than upper
– Does material cause the pitting?• Pits re-emerge after tumbling• R&D on sheet corners anticipated
• RI did bulk EP on half of the latest batch (six of twelve)– Performance more likely to improve after heavier “light” EP
• So far, no performance advantage, but potential advantage justifies a controlled promotion of industrial processing
– AES has a new EP machine – Process was qualified on a 1-cell cavity– AES to bulk EP six cavities this year

FermilabFNAL Cryomodule Assembly
• CAF infrastructure is fully functional for the 1.3 GHz pulsed cryomodule assembly.
• We have assembled two 1.3 GHz and one 3.9 GHz cryomodules at CAF. Our experience is still too limited to fully assess each step of the assembly and make optimization.
• New assembly tooling will be needed to assemble the 325 and 650 MHz cryomodules but the main infrastructure of the CAF looks adequate to assemble these cryomodules.
• Cavity dressing/qualification and assembly components preparation for cryomodule assembly will probably require some automation in order to increase the throughput for future projects.
• Cryomodule assembly throughput requirements will dictate hiring and training technicians. Training required for CM assembly is lengthy, especially for cleanroom work.
