Cavities and Cryomodules in CEBAF • Cryomodules labeled “Cxx” (xx = design energy gain) -“C 20” = original cavities installed in 1990 s -“C 50” = refurbished original cavities (EP, 600°C anneal, HPR) -“C 100” = new cavities for 12 Ge. V upgrade -Proposed “C 75” = new cells for CEBAF energy maintenance Large-grain cavities in a CEBAF cryomodule 3

C 75 large-grain cavity pair • Installed FPC “dog-leg” with ceramic window, HOM “elbows” and HOM loads T = 2. 07 K Large-grain cavities in a CEBAF cryomodule 7
Installation in Cryounit • Installation of cold tuner and magnetic shield • Installation into Helium vessel • Installation of secondary magnetic shield, MLI, thermal shield • Installation into Cryounit vacuum vessel • 3 flux-gate magnetometers attached to center cells of 5 C 75 -001 1546 1544 1545 Large-grain cavities in a CEBAF cryomodule 8
Residual field during CM assembly • Increased residual field at the cavity after welding operations Large-grain cavities in a CEBAF cryomodule 9
Cryomodule cool-down 5 C 75 -001 (cav 1) 5 C 75 -003 (cav 2) The remaining 6 cavities in the cryomodule are standard C 50 cavities • Installed in slot “ 1 L 13” in CEBAF • Cavity 1 cool-down across Tc at a rate of 0. 44 K/min (“slow”) • Cryomodule commissioned in Oct. -Nov. 2017 Large-grain cavities in a CEBAF cryomodule 10
Cavity performance in cryomodule (1) • Cav 1 quenched at 19. 1 MV/m after RF processing of field emission • C 75 large-grain cavities have higher Q 0 than the other C 50 finegrain cavities: better flux expulsion? Large-grain cavities in a CEBAF cryomodule 11
Cavity performance in cryomodule (2) • The additional following parameters of C 75 cavities met specifications and were equivalent to those of C 50 cavities: -Tuner operation -Microphonics (peak detuning ~10 -17 Hz) -HOM • The two large-grain C 75 prototype cavities have been operating in CEBAF since Nov. 2017 Large-grain cavities in a CEBAF cryomodule 12
Future plan • Fabricate two additional prototype cavities “in-house” • Evaluate schedule for contracting the fabrication of 8 additional cavities to a cavity vendor • Evaluate “in-situ” cryomodule degaussing Large-grain cavities in a CEBAF cryomodule 13
