SRF at ANL Effort for ILC

FY07

ANL interest is to develop the complete capability for building, processing, testing, operating

elliptical cavities

Major Areas of ANL/FNAL SRF Collaboration

Cavity Processing Infrastructure (2002-07)Chemistry/Clean roomsScrubberUltra-pure water systemHigh-pressure water pump

Electropolishing System, 12 design meetings since Oct. 06Cathode/Cathode Loading – FNAL leadCavity mechanical assembly – ANL lead

High-pressure water rinsing/single cavity clean assembly

“G150” Surface Prep Laboratory at ANL3.9 GHz Cavity Buffered Chemical Polishing

ILC-Americas Planning:ANL/FNAL to Lead Cavity Processing

6

Technical Approach: A Horizontal Electropolishing System

7

Technical Approach: Cathode Loading, Acid Draining, Water Rinsing

Electropolishing Design Review at ANL, Feb. 12 2007

Reviewers: Hasan Padamsee (Cornell), Kenji Saito (KEK), Tsuyoshi Tajima (LANL), Lutz Lilje (DESY), Axel Matheisen (by phone DESY), Marc Ross (FNAL), John Mammosser (JLAB)

Presenters: Mike Kelly (ANL), Cristian Boffo (FNAL)

Does the design meet the ILC specifications? Will the system be ready for commissioning in July 2007? Assess the suitability of the design for performing one EP procedure per

week in FY08-09.

Charge to the Committee

The committee report was very positive; manpower critical path

Status of ANL-FNAL collaboration in SRF ANL-FNAL have had an effective collaboration on electropolishing

EP Design Specification 100% complete EP Engineering Design 100% complete EP Design Review 90% complete EP System/component procurement 90% complete EP system assembly 40% complete

We are on track to perform electropolishing for ILC by July 2007

ANL-FNAL collaborating on high-pressure rinsing for the joint facility; began in April on design/construction (initially de-scoped due to CR in FY07)

Continued effective ANL-FNAL SRF effort require a (more) focused and sustained effort of a (larger) group of technical together with management.
