■ Conclusion
SRF cavities 1&2TARLA-Cavities 1 and 2 were treated according to the XFEL-recipe (major steps mentioned only):• Main EP (110µm removal)• 800 °C hydrogen degassing• Tuning of pi-mode and field flatness to >98%• Fine EP (40 µm removal)• Control of pi-mode and field flatness (>98%)• Welding of ring & bellow• Control of pi-mode and field flatness (>98%)• Welding of helium vessel• Leak check of helium vessel• Control of pi-mode and field flatness (>98%)
The cavities are currently undergoing the final surface preparation procedures:• High pressure rinsing• 120 °C bake
Afterwards the couplers and components for the horizontal tests at HoBiCaT will be assembled to the cavities.
The achieved RF parameters are listed after the next slide.

98,1 %FMS = Field Measurement System – allows measurement of field distribution in a clean cavity
Target frequency with FMS installed: 1297,380 MHz (+/- 0,1 MHz)
For reference:Frequency change from FMS to cavity under vacuum (warm): about 390 kHz -> 1297,770 MHzFrequency change during cooldown: 2 MHz -> 1299,770 MHzRemaining 230 kHz are required for tuner pre-tension.
RF input couplers
The RF input couplers were manufactured at RI according to the ELBE-design.
The required antenna length of the couplers were determined by RF measurements on the SRF cavities with a coupler and different antenna tips (different length).
The couplers were equipped with the proper antenna tip and two couplers were assembled to a test waveguide.After bake out and leak check, the coupler pairs were moved to HZDR for high power testing.
The warm windows were also preassembled and sent to HZDR for high power testing.
RF input couplers - test setup 1Each pair of RF input couplers (cold part, coaxial transition, door knob) was integrated to the resonant ring test facility at HZDR.The test waveguide was connected to a clean pump stand and the vacuum was monitored.
The power was raised in pulsed mode to a peak power of about 50 kW and in CW mode to about 16 kW.
The couplers were protected by interlocks on: • Coupler temperature (inner conductor
at cold part)• Arc detection• Vacuum
To improve the cooling, the outer walls and the cooling channel (fro LN2) were cooled with forced air.
Both coupler pairs passed the test, the results are summarized on the next slides.
RF input couplers - test setup 2Two warm RF windows were assembled to the resonant ring test facility at HZDR.The waveguide H-bends between the RF windows was evacuated and the vacuum was monitored.
The power was raised in pulsed mode to a peak power of about 55 kW and in CW mode to about 10 kW.
The windows were protected by interlocks on: • window temperature (IR sensor)• Arc detection• Vacuum
Warm windows 3&4 did pass the test without problems, windows 1&2 have to be retested due to a small leakage at an O-ring joint.
RF input couplers - test results pulsed
Coupler pair 1&2 was tested in pulsed mode to a peak power of about 55 kW, corresponding to an average power of about 20 kW (duty cycle 36%).
The temperatures of the inner conductor raised to arround 110 deg C (air cooling only).Vacuum activity was still visible, but can be improved by better cleaning.Coupler pair 3&4 was tested in pulsed mode to a peak power of about 50 kW, corresponding to an average power of about 40 kW (duty cycle 80%).
The temperatures of the inner conductor raised to arround 110 deg C (air cooling only).Vacuum activity was still visible, but less than coupler pair 1&2 due to improved cleaning and bake out procedure.
RF input couplers - test results CW 8 kW
Coupler pair 1&2 was operated in CW mode at a power of 8 kW for 6 hours.
The temperatures of the inner conductors stabilized at arround 65 / 80 deg C (air cooling only).The imbalance is due to a slight mismatch of the couplers to the testwaveguide at 1,3 GHz.
The vacuum stabilized at arround 1,5E-7 mbar.Coupler pair 3&4 was operated in CW mode at a power of 8 kW for 8 hours.
The temperatures of the inner conductors stabilized at arround 65 / 70 deg C (air cooling only).
The vacuum stabilized at arround 2E-7 mbar.
RF input couplers - test results CW 16kW
Coupler pair 1&2 was operated in CW mode at a power of 16 kW for about 20 minutes.
The temperatures of the inner conductors raised up constantly until the interlock threshold was reached. Operation was stopped by the temperatures reaching 110 deg C (limit).
The vacuum was changeable arround at 3E-7 mbar and became unstable with temperatures > 80 deg C.
Coupler pair 3&4 was operated in CW mode at a power of 16 kW for 55 minutes.
The temperatures of the inner conductors raised up constantly until the interlock threshold was reached. Operation was stopped by the temperatures reaching 110 deg C (limit).
The vacuum was stable arround at 2,6E-7 mbar.
RF input couplers - test results summary
Coupler pair 1&2 showed stable operation at 8 kW CW.The operation at 16 kW CW was sufficient.
Due to a short pumping time (the test was started immediately after arrival of the parts at HZDR), the vacuum still shows activity which could be reduced by a longer pumping time.Coupler pair 3&4 showed stable operation at 8 kW and 16 kW in CW mode.
The vacuum was stable in both operating conditions, as the vacuum was pumped some days before the test was started.
