Description
The successful development of Nb3Sn/Cu coatings for the SRF cavities of next generation particle accelerators would allow for the operation of the SRF system at 4.5 K, resulting in a reduction of the needed cryogenic power by a factor 3 with respect to what normally needed for bulk Nb cavities, operated at 2 K. In the framework of I.FAST and ISAS collaborations, an optimized recipe for Nb3Sn films deposited via DCMS has been established on small samples at INFN-LNL and is discussed in this work. Films with a Tc ≥ 17 K at deposition temperatures ≤ 650 °C on Cu substrate pre-coated with a 30-micron thick buffer layer of Nb have been successfully produced. The same deposition recipe is RF validated on QPR samples, with the results being also discussed in this work. A surface resistance < 9 nΩ at 4.5 K (at 20 mT, 417 MHz) is measured, which is about a order of magnitude larger than the baseline specifications for the LHC Nb/Cu cavities and already fulfills the requirements for the FCC-ee. Finally, the design and development of a dedicated coating system for 1.3 GHz elliptical cavities is discussed.
