SMTF WG1 on Cavities: Challenges in making reproducible cavity performance

Location:Black Hole, WH 2NW

The main themes are : How do we achieve reproducibility at 35 MV/m Q=1010?  What are the known problems of the existing methods?  What studies are underway and are still needed to get better results? Whatt are the latest results on single and multi-cell cavities?

Taking into consideration the discussions at Snowmass and the high level of activity detailed in the posters presented at SRF2005, we plan to continue these discussions in the working group.  Our goal is for the suggested leaders to put together a document that outlines the best procedures that are followed, and how to avoid pitfalls.

We have organized the Cavity discussions around 3 main topics. Our initial plan calls for 4 plus hours for each topic. It may well turn out that each topic takes longer than 4 hours, so our plan is to continue discuss each topic in the order below, until it is exhausted, or to move among the first topics to accommodate the time differences between US, Europe and Japan.

If we run out of time, and cannot cover all 3 topics, we can try to continue these discussions at a future collaboration meeting.

Speakers should talk about the detail experiences, both positive and negative, as well as summarize what is important to follow to get good, reproducible results, and what studies are underway. Talks should avoid plans for future facilities.

We will start with the first topic, EP, and continue as long as needed

Technical Board Agenda

Chair: Hasan Padamsee
Lunch Thursday..12:00 1:30 pm
Location: TBD.

Agenda

Topic 1: Will single and large grain materials provide large cost reduction for example by eliminating the need for ep or HT bake? How aggressively should the ILC community pursue cavity cost reduction approaches such as hydro-forming/ spinning, Nb/Cu bonding, in order to eliminate e-beam welding. How aggressively should the superstructure
be pursued?(superconducting joint)  

Topic 2: Can a single crystal ingot be bought? Does it make sense for the world cavity community purchase a
single crystal ingot (roughly 4000 lbs = 50 cavities) to divide amongst three regions? ($1M)

Topic 3: How do we integrate this meeting with the upcoming TTC meeting in Frascati in December?
