  6. Task 12.2 Thin Films CEA Saclay • First set of experiments using refurbished magnetometer done up to 140 mT. Latest measurements presented at SRF2013. • Further improvements are foreseen (enable larger samples, new coil design). • Campaign to hire post doc started. INP Grenoble • ALD deposition set-up designed and under fabrication (expected for Q1 2014). • Series of NbNsamples have been CVD deposited and undergoing characterization. • Difficulties in hiring PhD student (absence of funding), some delays expected.

  7. Task 12.2 Thin Films CERN • Refurbishing of cavity production chain (surface treatments, etc.) in progress: • Vertical EP for copper cavities 1.3/1.5 GHz is now fully operational. • Two cavities have been HIPIMS coated: • Performance equivalent to the best cavities coated in the past by magnetron. (plot shown, unpublished). • Aiming for highest Q limit, to evaluate the real role of HIPIMS on cavity performance.

  8. Task 12.2 Thin Films CERN (Cont’d) • Sample study also ongoing at Sheffield to study biased HIPIMS, in order to implement at CERN in the mid-term: • Delivery of a single cell copper 704 MHz beta 0.65 elliptical cavity for the study of the angle-of-incidence effect. • Nb3Sn activity not yet started: under discussion (internal production vs external collaboration). HZB Berlin • Quadrupole resonator fabricated at Niowave, under surface preparation at Jlab: • Design studies were presented at SRF13 (PhD student). • Vertical test stand in production (not covered by EuCARD2, but required for the experiments), delivery Q1 2014. • Design of a new Helium supply system under way.

  9. Task 12.3 High Gradient NC CERN CERN Organizing task 12.3 meeting to be held during the next CLIC workshop in Feb 2014. University of Lancaster/STFC/CERN Damped cavity design now complete, awaiting fabrication drawings. Crab cavity construction in UK and at CERN almost complete. Developing XBOX pulse compression optimisation scheme to be used to test crab cavities when available. Two PDRA’s appointed, on cavity design and LLRF. UK

  10. Task 12.3 High Gradient NC WFM spectra with beam (insert: simulation) PSI • All required WFM components delivered at PSI. • Currently doing lab testing and characterization: • Results presented at IBIC13. • Preliminary, non quantitative result: OK in terms of dynamic range and distortion. • Filled 30% position started Nov 1 at PSI. CEA/Saclay • Post-doc, candidate selected – start Apr 2014. • Internship, full funding in place, candidate selection next – expected start Apr 2014. • Phd proposal being prepared for Oct 2014 start.

  11. Task 12.3 High Gradient NC Uppsalla University • Awaiting funding decision in spring in order to optimize work-plan. Manchester University • Massively parallel ACE3P simulations ongoing.: • Initial results encouraging. • CLIC_DDS_A requires attachment of couplers and tuning stubs so CLIC_DDS_A • Fully bonded single cavity almost complete (confirmed measurements within 5 MHz). • Further work on the impact of the interleaved wakefields on misalignments.

Flisgen (Ph.D. student) Overall Status: • Conducted initial simulations of cavity eigenmodes (using CST, HFSS and custom codes): • Creation of reduced order models of complex and long accelerator structures. • Computation of RF properties of complex structure using a compact model (R/Q, external Q‘s of multi-cavity-modes and scattering parameters). • Investigating modes suitable for diagnostic purposes. • Beam-based measurements in progress at FLASH.
