  All over Run 2, the LHC beam-in­duced heat load on the cryo­genic sys­tem ex­hib­ited a wide scat­ter­ing along the ring. Stud­ies as­cribed the heat source to elec­tron cloud build-up, in­di­cat­ing an un­ex­pected high Sec­ondary Elec­tron Yield (SEY) of the beam screen sur­face in some LHC re­gions. The inner cop­per sur­face of high and low heat load beam screens, ex­tracted dur­ing the Long Shut­down 2, was analysed. On the low heat load ones, the sur­face was cov­ered with the na­tive Cu2O oxide, while on the high heat load ones CuO dom­i­nated at sur­face, and it ex­hib­ited a very low car­bon cov­er­age. Such chem­i­cal mod­i­fi­ca­tions in­crease the SEY and in­hibit a proper con­di­tion­ing of the af­fected sur­faces. Fol­low­ing this char­ac­ter­i­sa­tion, the mech­a­nisms for CuO build-up in the LHC beam pipe were in­ves­ti­gated on a newly com­mis­sioned cryo­genic sys­tem al­low­ing elec­tron ir­ra­di­a­tion, sur­face chem­i­cal char­ac­ter­i­sa­tion by X-ray Pho­to­elec­tron Spec­troscopy and SEY mea­sure­ments on sam­ples held below 15 K. In par­al­lel, cu­ra­tive so­lu­tions against the pres­ence of CuO in the LHC beam screens were ex­plored, which could be im­ple­mented in-situ to re­cover a proper con­di­tion­ing and lower the beam-in­duced heat load.

Re­cent find­ings in the su­per­con­duct­ing ra­dio-fre­quency (SRF) com­mu­nity have shown that in­tro­duc­ing cer­tain im­pu­ri­ties into high-pu­rity nio­bium can im­prove qual­ity fac­tors and ac­cel­er­at­ing gra­di­ents. Suc­cess has been found in ni­tro­gen-dop­ing, dif­fu­sion of the na­tive oxide into the nio­bium sur­face, and thin films of al­ter­nate su­per­con­duc­tors atop a nio­bium bulk cav­ity. We ques­tion why some im­pu­ri­ties im­prove RF per­for­mance while oth­ers hin­der it. The pur­pose of this study is to char­ac­ter­ize the im­pu­rity pro­file of nio­bium with a low resid­ual re­sis­tance ratio (RRR) and cor­re­late these im­pu­ri­ties with the RF per­for­mance of low RRR cav­i­ties so that the mech­a­nism of re­cent im­pu­rity-based im­prove­ments can be bet­ter un­der­stood and im­proved upon. Ad­di­tion­ally, we per­form a low tem­per­a­ture bake on the low RRR cav­ity to eval­u­ate how the in­ten­tional ad­di­tion of oxy­gen to the RF layer af­fects per­for­mance. We have found that low RRR cav­i­ties ex­pe­ri­ence low tem­per­a­ture-de­pen­dent BCS re­sis­tance be­hav­ior more promi­nently than their high RRR coun­ter­parts. The re­sults of this study have the po­ten­tial to un­lock a new un­der­stand­ing on SRF ma­te­ri­als.

  A mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary col­lab­o­ra­tion within the I.​FAST pro­ject teamed-up to de­velop ad­di­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing (AM) tech­nol­ogy so­lu­tions for ac­cel­er­a­tors. The first pro­to­type of an AM pure-cop­per radio fre­quency quadru­pole (RFQ) has been pro­duced, cor­re­spond­ing to 1/4 of a 4-vane RFQ*. It was op­ti­mised for pro­duc­tion with state-of-the-art laser pow­der bed fu­sion tech­nol­ogy. Geo­met­ri­cal pre­ci­sion and rough­ness of the crit­i­cal sur­faces were mea­sured. Alt-hough the ob­tained val­ues were be­yond stan­dard RFQ spec­i­fi­ca­tions, these first re­sults are promis­ing and con-firmed the fea­si­bil­ity of AM man­u­fac­tured com­plex cop-per ac­cel­er­a­tor cav­i­ties. There­fore, fur­ther post-pro­cess­ing tri­als have been con­ducted with the sam­ple RFQ to im-prove sur­face rough­ness. Al­go­rithms for the AM techno-log­i­cal processes have also been im­proved, al­low­ing for higher geo­met­ri­cal pre­ci­sion. This re­sulted in the de­sign of a full 4-vane RFQ pro­to­type. At the time of the paper sub­mis­sion the full-size RFQ is being man­u­fac­tured and will un­dergo through the strin­gent sur­face qual­ity meas-ure­ments. This paper is dis­cussing novel tech­no­log­i­cal de­vel­op­ments, is pro­vid­ing an eval­u­a­tion of the ob­tained sur­face rough­ness and geo­met­ri­cal pre­ci­sion as well as out­lin­ing the po­ten­tial post-pro­cess­ing sce­nar­ios along with fu­ture tests plans.
