| Abstract |
For the European XFEL (EU-XFEL), two industrial companies are responsible for the manufacture and surface preparation of the eight hundred superconducting cavities. The companies had to strictly follow the XFEL specification and document all production and preparation steps. No performance guaranties were required. Each cavity delivered by industry to DESY is tested in a vertical test at 2K. Resonators not reaching the performances defined for application at the EU-XFEL linear accelerator modules or showing leakage during cold RF tests have undergone a subsequent retreatment at DESY. Nearly 20% of the cavity production required retreatment, most of them by an additional high pressure rinsing. Some cavities received additional chemical treatment by BCP flash after the initial HPR did not cure the problem. The analysis of retreatments and quality control data available from the retreatment sequences and the workflow of retreatment will be presented.
