f Goals for SRF Materials R&D Goals for SRF Materials R&D Fermilab • Our job is to figure out Feb09 vs Nov08 how to advance the Target ILC state of the art. yield in • Goal: Advance the state 2012 of the art toward the 2012 ILC goal (90% Target ILC yield at 35 MV/m) 25 MV/m yield in 2009 – This goal also satisfies performance goals for Project X. Goal: Can we define • and approach even higher limits? 19 Ma 19 May 2009 y 2009 S SRF R F Revie view Coole oley – Technology De Deve velopment 2

Issues lurk at every step because the art is based on Issues lurk at every step because the art is based on f recipes and not on understanding recipes and not on understanding Fermilab • Raw material • Tuning: Heat treatments soften metal, promote detuning Niobium is not “sheet metal” – – Each batch is different! • Chemistry – Grain texture affects later Acids are dangerous – forming and chemistry – Acid reactions are very sensitive Alternate: Ingot slices (Lg gr) – to process params, mat’l history Forming • EP does not obey “classic” – science; high flow is used – Shear is required to maintain thickness – shear bands – Cavity surface is complex – how promote dislocation etch pitting to model and control? – Keeping ductility imposes – Alternate: Non-HF process restrictions on raw material HPR: • • Welding – Ablative – What is being – Pits! Many mechanisms are removed? Damaged? plausible Assembly experience varies – – Tooling, vacuum artifacts Diagnoses: • – Vendor experience varies Can’t touch RF surface! – Remove forming history? – – Repair in situ? Alternate: hydroforming – ALD, etc.: New! What’s the payoff? • 19 May 2009 19 Ma y 2009 S SRF R F Revie view Coole oley – Technology De Deve velopment 5

f Management to address issues Management to address issues Fermilab • FNAL cannot do everything – therefore we coordinate a comprehensive array of ~30 partners from academia, labs, and industry (next slide) – Many will be supported with ARRA funds – Primary reporting is via SRF Materials Workshop • FNAL is organizer • HEP, JLab, Cornell, FSU, MSU also on program committee • FNAL maintains QA/QC to support fab and processing • FNAL conducts some basic work and processing R&D • FNAL performs activities not easily done by partners – Pre-weld, coupon, and cavity acid work – HPR, assemble, and test – Diagnostics, including T-mapping, optical inspx., and ECS 19 Ma 19 May 2009 y 2009 S SRF R F Revie view Coole oley – Technology De Deve velopment 7

f Shepherding the Materials Community Shepherding the Materials Community Fermilab Labs’ role: • – Steer the agenda, define issues – Get samples to academics = coupons and pieces cut from cavities – Zero in on real defects = ECS, optical inspection, T-map – Develop processing = do work, modify based on understanding – Facilitate ideas = get 1-cell cavities to SBIRs, labs, academics – Drive vendor development = buy cavities, transfer processes – Test cavities from vendors and give feedback • Academics’ role: – Provide understanding based on materials, physics, and chemistry – Provide reality checks, define limits, describe mechanisms • Industry role: – Define the fabrication and processing realities – Engage in dialogues with academics and labs – Deliver cavities Generate new ideas (SBIR) – 19 May 2009 19 Ma y 2009 S SRF R F Revie view Coole oley – Technology De Deve velopment 10 10
