Funding: BMBF, Helmholtz Association, ILC-HiGrade, FP7 (CRISP), Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung/Foundation The actual R&D program at DESY is derived from the global effort for the International Linear Collider (ILC) and is well in phase with effort elsewhere. The program aims at a solid understanding and control of the industrial mass-production process of the superconducting radio-frequency accelerating cavities, which are manufactured for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EXFEL) at DESY. The goal is to identify the gradient limiting factors and further refine the cavity treatment technique to provide gradients above 35 MV/m at >90% production yield. Techniques such as 2nd sound quench detection, OBACHT optical inspections, defect metrology using silicon replica as well as Centrifugal Barrel Polishing (CBP) and Local Grinding repair are foreseen as tools. Actual status, details, and first achievements of the program will be reported. |

| MOP070 | Results on Quality Factors of 1.3 GHz Nine-Cell Cavities at DESY | cavity, factory, niobium, operation | 297 |

| Superconducting cavities made of niobium are the basis of many particle accelerators around the world. Besides the quest for high accelerating fields for projects like European XFEL and the International Linear Collider, the quality factor, a measure for the resistance and hence the ohmic losses, is of importance, as it eventually determines the cryoplant size and its costs of operation. Especially for accelerators operating in continuous wave mode, the dynamic heat load generated by cavity operation exceeds the static heat load by far and thus requires minimisation. To investigate the current quality factor performance of 1.3 GHz cavities at DESY, the test results of some 50 recent cavities with state-of-the-art treatment have been examined regarding surface treatment and material. | |||

| TUP116 | Quench field and Location in Vertical Tests at KEK-STF | cavity, accelerating-gradient, linac, cryomodule | 751 |
|

| Many vertical tests have been done for the ILC and ERL at KEK-STF since 2008. T-mapping system (fixed type) was equipped at every vertical test, and quench location was identified completely. Every quench location at quench field will be presented in this paper. | |||
