Title: Study on Electropolishing Conditions for 650 MHz Niobium SRF Cavity

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1881271

The PIP II linear accelerator includes different types of niobium SRF cavities including 650 MHz elliptical low (0.61) and high (0.92) beta cavities. The elliptical cavity surface is processed with the electropolishing method. The elliptical cavities especially the low-$$\beta$$ 650 MHz cavities showed a rough equator surface after the EP was per-formed with the standard EP conditions. This work was focused to study the effect of different EP parameters, including cathode surface area, temperature and voltage, and optimize them to improve the cavity surface.
