  This paper presents results of quench localization on 3.9 GHz XFEL prototype cavities tested at LASA vertical test facility. Cavities have been equipped with OST second sound detectors and thermometry sensors. A first guess for quench position has been obtained from modal analysis. Second sound sensors confirmed the quench position resolving also the symmetry degeneracy given by the RF mode pattern analysis. In a subsequent vertical test, second sound and temperature sensors have been installed nearby the suspect quench position. From Thermometry mapping, a sudden increase in cavity temperature within a small region is evident, therefore confirming that a local thermal breakdown due to defect heating occurs in the predicted quench point. The quench region deduced with the mentioned techniques is eventually compared with results of optical inspection.

The maximum RF surface magnetic field (Bs) achieved with SRF bulk Nb cavities is often limited by anomalous losses due to Joule heating of normal-resistive defects embedded onto the RF surface. At high BS (e.g Bs>50 mT), the defect temperature increases strongly with BS, leading to a thermal runaway of the cavity or quench. The unloaded quality factor Q0 of the cavity decreases suddenly and strongly due to superconducting to normal state phase transition of the hot spot area. Quench detectors, called Oscillating Superleak Transducer (OST) and sensing 2nd sound events in He II, have been recently used to study quench of SRF cavities. IPN developed his prototypes of OST quench detectors and a test stand for their calibration and characterization in the temperature range T0=1.6 K-2.2 K. This device allows precise and controlled experimental simulation of SRF cavity quench using pulsed heat sources. Experimental runs were performed to study the dynamic response of OST detectors when the heat source is subjected to a time varying heat flux q(t) as function of several parameters (T0, q(t) time structure and density, heat source size) and first experimental data are presented.

  Supratech is a facility at CEA/Saclay that enables tests on superconducting and high power RF components for particle accelerators. The facility comprises a home-made hard tube HV modulator powering up to 95kV-20A at 2.1ms/50Hz and a 700MHz pulsed klystron developed by CPI able to produce RF up to 1MW-2ms/50Hz. A new compact HV and RF interlock system including klystron HV diagnostics has been implemented on Supratech test facility. This paper describes in more detail the klystron interlock system and the results of the first tests.

A set of superconducting deflecting cavities were studied for the APS Upgrade. A TM-mode baseline deflecting cavity design has been developed and prototyped, while an alternative design based on a TE-like mode is being studied. Waveguide field probes associated with the baseline and alternative superconducting deflecting cavities are explored as beam position and tilt monitoring diagnostics. Microwave Studio was used to simulate the technique of detecting the fields excited by a Gaussian bunch passing through the cavities to determine beam position relative to the electrical center. Probes installed on the horizontal midplane in the beam pipe are promising diagnostics for monitoring beam position and tilt in both designs. The probes in the power coupler also work as beam position monitors for the alternative deflecting cavities.
