In the context of the HIE-ISOLDE upgrade at CERN, several new facilities for the niobium sputter coating of QWR-type superconducting RF accelerating cavities have been developed, built, and successfully operated. In order to further optimize the production process of these cavities the magnetron sputtering technique has been further investigated and continued as an alternative to the already successfully operational DC bias diode sputtering method. The purpose of this poster is to present the results obtained with this technique. The Nb thickness profile along the cavity and its correlation with the electro-magnetic field distribution inside the cavity are discussed. Film structure, morphology and Residual Resistivity Ratio (RRR) will be considered as well and compared with films obtained by DC bias diode sputtering. Finally these results will be compared with RF characterization and measurement of a production-like magnetron-coated cavity.

	A nine-cell 1.3 GHz superconducting niobium cavity has been fabricated for the ARIEL project at TRIUMF. The cavity is intended to accelerate a beam current of 10 mA at an accelerating gradient of 10 MV/m. The beam loaded RF power of 100 kW is supplied through two opposed fundamental power couplers. The electromagnetic design was done by TRIUMF. The cavity final design and fabrication procedure have been developed in collaboration between TRIUMF and PAVAC Industries Inc. Several innovations in the cavity fabrication process were developed at PAVAC. Since the most important weld is at the equator this weld is done first to form a ‘smart-bell’ as the basic unit as opposed to welding first at the iris to form ‘dumb-bell’ units. Each half cell is pressed with a male die into a plastic forming surface to produce half-cells with less shape distortion and material dislocations. The cavity fabrication sequence including the frequency tuning steps and RF frequency modelling methods will be discussed.

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.
