Plasma Processing of SRF Cavities at Jefferson Lab
- Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF), Newport News, VA (United States)
Jefferson Lab has an ongoing R&D program in plasma processing which is close to going into production pro-cessing in the CEBAF accelerator. Plasma processing is a common technique for removing hydrocarbons from surfaces, which increases the work function and reduces the secondary emission coefficient [1]. The initial focus of the effort is processing C100 cavities by injecting RF power into the HOM coupler ports. The goal will be to improve the operational gradients and the energy margin of the CEBAF linacs by processing cryomodules in situ. Results from processing a cryomodule in the cryomodule test bunker as well as cavity vertical test results will be presented. This work describes the systems and methods used at JLAB for processing cavities using an ar-gon/oxygen gas mixture.
