At Los Alamos National Laboratory, a prototype design of proton superconducting cavities has been developed for the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) project. These cavities are designed for b=0.64. They have five cells and operate at 700 MHz. They will operate at 2.15 K in a liquid-helium bath contained in an unalloyed, Grade 2 titanium vessel. Six cavities were manufactured with RRR-250 niobium, one by Los Alamos and five by industry. This paper discusses both the design and fabrication of the cavity and helium vessel, and the experience gained during the fabrication process.
