NEW CAVITY FABRICATION FACILITY AT KEK - F. Eozenou / T. Saeki - A_RD_05
Introduction of KEK activities • The fabrication-cost reduction of superconducting cavity is not enough for future project like ILC. We have constructed a new superconducting Cavity Fabrication Facility (CFF) at KEK for the study of cost-effective mass-production of cavity. • All the necessary equipment for the cavity fabrication were installed in the CFF at KEK. • We have fabricated 9-cell cavity KEK-00 (without HOM) in CFF. The fabrication process of KEK-00 and the vertical test result of KEK-00 will be shown. • Future plan of CFF will shown as well as the plan of FJPPL collaboration between Saclay and KEK.
Main Equipments of Cavity Fabrication Facility EBW room Installation of EBW machine started from April 2011. Chemical Polishing room Measuring system for half cell shape (Under developing) Press machine (servo control) Inspection equipment for Nb surface Vertical lathe 25

(1st Feb. 2012) Observation by Kyoto camera EBW bead EBW bead Area of EBW for repairing the hole of cell#1 Local grinding was done for the inner surface of the repaired part of cell#1 by hand in order to make a smooth surface. (3 Feb. 2012).
Surface treatment of 9-cell cavity (KEK-00) Bulk EP (100 um), Degreasing (50 0C, 30 min), HPR (1.5 h), Annealing(4 h, 750 0C), and final EP (20 um). HPR (7 hours) Brushing Brushing of beam-pipe and HOM antenna. Degreasing with detergent (FM-20 2%) in hot bath (500C, 30 min).
Vertical Test Result of 9-cell cavity w/o HOM (KEK-00) Eacc = 29 MV/m Q0 = 9 x 10^9 Cell#1 (repaired cell) reached to 42.7 MV/m in the 6pi/9 mode. Limitation in the pi mode might be quench at cell#8, because the T-mapping sensor detected higher temperature in cell#8 in coincidence with the quench at 29 MV/m.

Fabrication
Summary of KEK activities • All equipment (press machine, CP room, EBW machine, etc) were installed in Cavity Fabrication Facility (CFF). • 9-cell cavity KEK-00 (w/o HOM) was fabricated. Center cells were EBW’ed at job shop and end-groups were EBW’ed in CFF(KEK). • Final EBW of KEK-00 cavity at the equator of end-cell was failed, but it was repaired. After surface preparation at KEK, KEK-00 reached to Eacc = 29 MVm in vertical test. • 9-cell cavity KEK-01 and -02 (w/ HOM) will be fabricated where all seams will be EBW’ed at CFF(KEK) in FY2012. • We will fabricate a single-cell cavity in CFF at KEK. This cavity will be used for the study of vertical EP at Saclay in the frame-work of FJPPL collaboration.
