A CRUCIAL R&D ON HIGH GRADIENT Nb CAVITIES - Fabien Eozénou - FJPPL 2008 A_RD_04
International Linear Collider ~17000 Superconductive Nb cavities > 31.5 MV/m 1 Tev TWO MAIN ROJECTS RELATED TO THE “COLD” TECHNOLOGY • XFEL (X-Ray Free-Electron Laser) • 17.5 GeV λ=0.1nm • 808 cavities E=23.5 MV/m assembled in 101 cryomodules - Fabien Eozénou - FJPPL 2008 A_RD_04
Electro-Polishing (EP) And Baking: Reminder ‘Standard’ preparation to reach high gradients: Barrel Polishing + EP + Anneal + Final EP + HPR + Rinse + Baking Electro-Polishing: Internal Surface Treatment of the Cavity filled with acid in presence of Current Standard Baking: Cavity is baked under vacuum to remove high field Q-Slope whose origin remains mysterious ‘Standard’ parameters: 120°C: 48h - Fabien Eozénou - FJPPL 2008 A_RD_04
Process - Nb polished internally with an electrolyte (concentrated H2SO4 - HF mixture) under voltage - Cavity = Anode & Cathode is an Al pipe inside the cavity Chemical reactions - Anode: Niobium oxidation 2 Nb + 5 H2O Nb2O5 + 10 H+ + 10 e- - Cathode: H2 generation 2 H+ + 2 e- H2 (Teflon net to prevent H contamination) - HF: dissolution of oxide Nb2O5 layer - H2SO4: forming of a viscous layer Electro-Polishing (EP): More details - Fabien Eozénou - FJPPL 2008 A_RD_04
Electro-Polishing (EP) and Baking: Main Breakthroughs Nb Cavity Performances ( 1991 - 1999 ) Continuous improvements with Heat Treatments @ 800 and 1400°C, High Pressure Rinse, Baking & ElectroPolishing. 42 MV/m hard barrier ( 2004 ) - Fabien Eozénou - FJPPL 2008 A_RD_04
GOALS OF THE COMMON R&D PROGRAM • Improvement of the Baking Procedure: • Facilitate the baking procedure • Decrease the baking time • Improvement of Electro-Polishing: • Obtaining of high reproducible gradients • Better understanding of the process (use of modelling) - Fabien Eozénou - FJPPL 2008 A_RD_04

FAST ARGON BAKING B.Visentin IR baking system in Clean Room at Saclay. Use of Argon Instead of high Vacuum 120°C 48h 145°C 3h In terms of Oxygen diffusion in the bulk niobium - Fabien Eozénou - FJPPL 2008 A_RD_04
BAKING RESULTS ON ICHIRO CAVITIES “Ichiro” (or Low Loss) Geometry makes it possible to reach higher gradients → Two cavities received from KEK IS8 Baked under argon during 1 hour at 145°C → + 9MV/m + 1hour additional baking : removal of residual slope. 2 hours = optimal duration for “fast argon” baking Will be presented at EPAC 2008: MoPP154 (B. Visentin et al.) An additional test will be done to reach the quench - Fabien Eozénou - FJPPL 2008 A_RD_04

LOW REPEATITIBILITY TESTS ON 9-CELL CAVITIES SHOW A LOW REPEATITIBLITY OF THE GRADIENT COMPARED TO THE CHEMICAL POLISHING. MANY CAVITIES ARE LIMITED BY FIELD EMISSION. IT IS NECESSARY TO IMPROVE RINSING PROCEDURES. - Fabien Eozénou - FJPPL 2008 A_RD_04
ILC GDE S0 PROGRAM ON SINGLE CELL ILC S0 International Program on single-cell cavity: Different Rinsing procedures are evaluated: 6 tests for each “recipe” to have statistics: - Fabien Eozénou - FJPPL 2008 A_RD_04

SEARCH FOR NEW PARAMETERS: EP at LOWER VOLTAGE (5V) PROCESS EASY TO CONTROL! = Current Oscillation Regime at any Temperature and stirring conditions. + It does not seem to depend on bath aging. + Low heating of the Bath Surface after 130 µm EP at 5V • Tests With 1C21 Cavity: 2 sequences: 80 µm + 50 µm +Ethanol Rinsing. EP at low temperature first (~20°C) • Very Bright and little grainy surface Ratio Removal @ Iris / Removal @ Equator seems promising 110 µm / 90 µm in the half cell were acid is better renewed Lower than for Standard EP (17V) ? → To be confirmed What is the result in terms of RF performance?... - Fabien Eozénou - FJPPL 2008 A_RD_04
RF RESULTS AFTER LOW VOLTAGE EP Promising Result :1C21 cavity belong to a batch of cavities that show poor results after BCP (Baking Resistant cavities! Eacc<20 MV/m) OUTLOOK: → EP at low Voltage with ICHIRO/1DE1 Cavities + Standard EP on 1C21 → EP at higher temperature to increase the removal rate - Fabien Eozénou - FJPPL 2008 A_RD_04
