The performance of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities depends on the niobium surface condition. Recently, various heat-treatment methods have been investigated to achieve unprecedented high quality factor (Q) and high accelerating field (E). We report the influence of a new baking process called furnace baking on the Q-E behavior of 1.3 GHz SRF cavities. Furnace baking is performed as the final step of the cavity surface treatment; the cavities are heated in a vacuum furnace for 3 h, followed by high-pressure rinsing and radio-frequency measurement. This method is simpler and potentially more reliable than previously reported heat-treatment methods, and it is therefore, easier to apply to the SRF cavities. We find that the quality factor is increased after furnace baking at temperatures ranging from 300C to 400C, while strong decreasing the quality factor at high accelerating field is observed after furnace baking at temperatures ranging from 600C to 800C. We find significant differences in the surface resistance for various processing temperatures.

Recently, heat treatment between 250 C and 500 C has been attempted to improve quality factor of superconducting radio-frequency cavities at FNAL and KEK. Experiments of such medium temperature (mid-T) bake with furnaces have also been carried out at
IHEP. Firstly, eleven 1.3 GHz 1-cell cavities were treated with different temperatures at a small furnace. The average quality factor has reached 3.6E10 when the gradient is 16 MV/m. Then, the recipe of mid-T furnace bake at 300 C for 3 hours has been applied to six 1.3 GHz 9-cell cavities at a new big furnace. The average quality factor has reached 3.8E10 when the gradient is 16 MV/m.
Controlling trapped magnetic flux in superconducting radiofrequency (RF) cavities is of crucial importance in modern accelerator projects. In order to study flux trapping efficiency and sensitiv- ity of surface resistance, dedicated experiments have
been carried out on different types of low-b{eta} superconducting accelerating cavities. Even under almost full trapping conditions, we found that the measured magnetic sensitivities of these cavity geometries were significantly lower than the theoretical values predicted by commonly-used models based on local material properties. This must be resolved by taking account of geometrical effects of flux trapping and flux oscillation under RF surface current in such cavity shape. In this paper, we propose a new approach to convolute the influence of geometries. We point out a puzzling contradiction between sample measurements and recent cavity experiments, which leads to two different hypotheses to simulate oscillating flux trapped in the cavity surface. A critical reconsideration of flux oscillation by the RF Lorentz force, compared with temperature mapping studies in elliptical cavities, favoured the results of previous sample measurements, which suggested preferential flux trapping of normal component to the cavity inner surface. Based on this observation, we builded a new model to our experimental results and the discrepancy between old theory and data were resolved.
As a result of a collaboration between Jefferson Lab and niobium manufacturer CBMM, ingot niobium was explored as a possible material for superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavity fabrication. The first single cell cavity from large grain high puri
ty niobium was fabricated and successfully tested at Jefferson Lab in 2004. This pioneering work triggered research activities in other SRF laboratories around the world. Large grain niobium became not only an interesting alternative material for cavity builders, but also material scientists and surface scientists were eager to participate in the development of this material. Most of the original expectations for this material of being less costly and allowing less expensive fabrication and treatment procedures at the same performance levels in cavities have been met. Many single cell cavities made from material of different suppliers have been tested successfully and several multi-cell cavities have shown the performances comparable to the best cavities made from standard poly-crystalline niobium. Several 9-cell cavities fabricated by Research Instruments and tested at DESY exceeded the best performing fine grain cavities with a record accelerating gradient of Eacc = 45.6 MV/m. Recently- at JLab- by using a new furnace treatment procedure a single cell cavity made of ingot niobium performed at a remarkably high Q0-value (~5x10^10) at an accelerating gradient of ~20 MV/m, at 2K. Such performance levels push the state-of-the art of SRF technology to new limits and are of great interest for future accelerators. This contribution reviews the development of ingot niobium technology and attempts to make a case for this material being the choice for future accelerators.
In a recent investigation, we studied two-dimensional point-defected photonic bandgap cavities composed of dielectric rods arranged according to various representative periodic and aperiodic lattices, with special emphasis on possible applications to
particle acceleration (along the longitudinal axis). In this paper, we present a new study aimed at highlighting the possible advantages of using hybrid structures based on the above dielectric configurations, but featuring metallic rods in the outermost regions, for the design of extremely-high quality factor, bandgap-based, accelerating resonators. In this framework, we consider diverse configurations, with different (periodic and aperiodic) lattice geometries, sizes, and dielectric/metal fractions. Moreover, we also explore possible improvements attainable via the use of superconducting plates to confine the electromagnetic field in the longitudinal direction. Results from our comparative studies, based on numerical full-wave simulations backed by experimental validations (at room and cryogenic temperatures) in the microwave region, identify the candidate parametric configurations capable of yielding the highest quality factor.
We report the rf performance of a single-cell superconducting radiofrequency cavity after low temperature baking in a nitrogen environment. A significant increase in quality factor has been observed when the cavity was heat treated in the temperature
range of 120-160 {deg}C with a nitrogen partial pressure of ~25 mTorr. This increase in quality factor as well as the Q-rise phenomenon (anti-Q-slope) is similar to those previously obtained with high temperature nitrogen doping as well as titanium doping. In this study, a cavity N2-treated at 120 {deg}C and at140 {deg}C, showed no degradation in accelerating gradient, however the accelerating gradient was degraded by 25 with a 160 {deg}C N2 treatment. Sample coupons treated in the same conditions as the cavity were analyzed by scanning electron microscope, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy revealed a complex surface composition of Nb_2O5, NbO and NbN(1-x)Ox within the rf penetration depth. Furthermore, magnetization measurements showed no significant change on bulk superconducting properties.
