| The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) is currently under construction in Germany in Hamburg area. A linear accelerating part of the XFEL is going to consist of 808 superconducting 9-cell Niobium cavities installed in 101 accelerating modules. Before assembly into modules the cavities are tested in a dedicated test facilities. The testing procedures are prepared based on DESY expertise and available software from Tesla Test Facility (TTF) Collaboration and Free electron LASer for Hamburg (FLASH). RF test provides the most important information about cavity performance: maximum available gradient and dependence of quality factor and radiation on the gradient. Results of the RF test determine, whether a cavity is shipped to CEA Saclay (France) to be assembled into a module or send for retreatment to improve its performance. In this paper we present the most important aspects of the cavity RF test procedure. | |||
| MOP052 | RF Aspects of Quality Control for Industrial XFEL Cavities Fabrication | cavity, controls, background, SRF | 237 |

| Quality control of XFEL serial cavities allows us not only except the using of reject cavities for linac, but also give a feedback to the industry in case of cavity parameters come to their limits. RF control assays not only the electro dynamical characteristics (as frequencies, Q-factors and fields), but also provide the mechanical revise with a very high accuracy. Automation of this quality control in XFEL data base gave us a powerful tool which is required for the big projects as European-XFEL. | |||

In the Specification for XFEL Cavity preparation (R1) two different preparation sequences are presented. Ettore Zanon Company as one of the two companies contracted for XFEL cavity production and preparation has chosen the so called BCP flash cycle. To fulfill the requested work flow and quality of infrastructure and processes, the company set up a complete new infrastructure in refurbished fabrication halls. The layout of the facility, set up of work flow of preparation and test results of resonators processed by E.Zanon in their infrastructure will be reported.

| THP002 | Design of 3-Cell Travelling Wave Cavity for High Gradient Test | cavity, accelerating-gradient, feedback, niobium | 892 |

| Utilization of a superconducting traveling wave accelerating (STWA) structure with small phase advance per cell for future high energy linear colliders may provide accelerating gradient 1.2/1.4 times larger [1] than standing wave structure. However, the STWA structure requires a feedback waveguide [1]. Recent tests of 1.3 GHz model of a single-cell cavity with waveguide feedback demonstrated an accelerating gradient comparable to the gradient in a single-cell ILC-type cavity from the same manufacturer [2]. In the present paper a design for a STWA resonator with a 3-cell accelerating cavity for high gradient tests is considered. Methods to create and support the traveling wave in this structure are discussed. The results of detailed studies of the mechanical and tuning properties of the superconducting resonator with 3-cell traveling wave accelerating structure are also presented. | |||

| THP093 | Fundamental Mode Spectrum Measurement of RF Cavities with RLC Equivalent Circuit | cavity, cryomodule, software, electron | 1141 |
|
|||
| The procedure of the cavity fundamental mode spectrum measurement consists of the following steps: scanning of the accelerating mode passband for any deviation from the standard one, determining all peaks in the accelerating mode passband and evaluating the mean spectrum frequency deviation. The upgrade of that procedure was proposed and successfully implemented. The cavity RLC equivalent circuit is used in order to predict the measured peaks. This method allows more quickly detects the peaks in the accelerating mode passband thereby reduce the time needed for test, which is crucial for serial production cavities testing. In this paper, an upgrade of the test procedure and its validation with measurements is presented. The method was validated with data taken during testing of the cavities installed in two pre-series XFEL cryomodules. This improvement of the test procedure is implemented into the testing software and it is successfully used for serial production cavities testing. | |||
| THP096 | Recent Upgrade of Ultra-Broadband RF System for Cavity Characterization | cavity, controls, software, operation | 1151 |
|
|||
| The first computer controlled RF system for SC cavity characterization entered into operation at INFN-LNL in 1994. Since then it has been successfully used for testing SC cavities of different shapes and frequencies. Recently we performed an important upgrade on it in order to cover a wider frequency range and to take advantage of the better performance of nowadays electronic devices. The paper describes the present system layout, dedicated software, sequences of calibration and testing procedures and moreover discusses further upgrading possibilities. | |||
