Description
A novel vertical test facility (VTF) has been in operation at the UKRI-STFC Daresbury Laboratory since 2019. This VTF tests jacketed SRF cavities in a horizontal configuration at 2 K. Originally designed and operated for 704 MHz high-beta cavities for ESS, the facility has now been upgraded and expanded to test 650 MHz high-beta cavities for PIP-II, including fast cooldown capability (>20 K/min) for magnetic flux expulsion. This paper reports on the new design, commissioning, and operation of the facility.
