R&D on SRF at INFN LASA

Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Sustainability and cost reduction are key factors for the development of future large particle accelerators. This motivated INFN LASA to initiate an INFN-funded R&D program dedicated to improve the performance of SRF Nb cavities in terms of quality factor (High-Q) and accelerating gradient (High-G). The R&D program will start by exploiting state-of-the-art surface treatments on 1.3 GHz single-cell prototypes, in view of a possible industrialization process for large-scale productions. Integrating part of this program is the upgrade of our vertical test facility to enable qualification of such high-performance cavities. Ongoing activities include the construction of a new dedicated cryostat, which minimizes Liquid Helium consumption, reduces the impact of trapped magnetic flux and provides a wide range of diagnostics for quench, field emission, and magnetic flux expulsion studies.
