Description
At Daresbury Laboratory, two new cryogenic facilities have been designed, built and tested for RF testing of 1.3 GHz thin film coated cavities. The first facility is a high power vertical test stand that has been designed to test both single-cell and multi-cell cavities in LHe at 2 and 4.2 K. However, this facility is shared with other projects, limiting the number of tests per year. To ensure that only good cavities are tested in this facility, a second test stand has also been developed for high throughput cavity testing. This uses a pulse-tube cryocooler with a cooling capacity of 2.7 W at 4.2 K. The simple design and operation enables qualification of up to 2 cavities per week. Details of these facilities and results from RF cavity measurements are presented.
