The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is de-signed to produce spallation neutrons. CSNS upgrade is planned to increase beam power by inserting a SRF linac after drift tube linac (DTL). IHEP is developing a 325MHz double spoke cavity at ¿0 of 0.5 for the CSNS SRF linac. The cavity shape was optimized to minimize Ep/Ea while keeping Bp/Ep reasonably low. Meanwhile, mechanical design was applied to check stress, Lorentz force detuning and microphonic effects, and to minimize pressure sensitivity. A new RF coupling scheme was pro-posed to avoid electrons hitting directly on ceramic win-dow. After fabrication and post processing of cavity, the cavity reached Bp of 120mT at E_{acc} = 13.8MV/m and Q₀ = 1.72·10¹⁰ under vertical test at 2K., Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on RF Superconductivity, SRF2019, Dresden, Germany

Second sound is an effective way to detect the quench position on superconducting cavity. A second sound quench site detection system is under developing for the PAPS. High gradient is very important for superconducting cavity, however it may be limited by quench on the cavity high field region. Quench can be caused by various reasons. To locate the position is the key to reveal the mysteries of quench. Now we are developing the quench position detection system by RTD sensors such as Cernox and OST sensors., Proceedings of the 9th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2018, Vancouver, BC, Canada

After upgrading the post-processing system, several superconducting cavities were RF tested at Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in China recently. The test results of 14 spoke 012 cavities and 6 spoke 021 cavities which used at China ADS injector I and linac all exceeds our design objective. Moreover, a spoke 040, a 650MHz elliptical cavity and a 325MHz HWR cavity are also vertical tested and the test results are all significantly surpass our design value. The post processing of these cavities including Buffered Chemical Polishing (BCP), high temperature heat treatment and High Pressure water Rinsing (HPR) is presented here., Proceedings of the 7th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2016, Busan, Korea

Peking University is striving for constructing a superconducting radio-frequency accelerator test facility (PKU-SETF) to provide coherent radiations [1]. A cryomodule consisting of a China made 9-cell TESLA type cavity was designed and constructed for this purpose, which is expected to provide 15-20 MeV energy gain at an operating temperature of 2K. Some technical issues in the manufacturing progress are reported, including the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding of the LHe vessel and the superconducting cavity, the demagnetization of the vacuum vessel made of pure iron, and the manufacturing of the main power coupler., Proceedings of the 1st International Particle Accelerator Conference, IPAC2010, Kyoto, Japan

Spoke cavities have been developed and have apparent advantages for high current proton accelerator based on superconductivity at low and medium energy region. As the research and the technical reserve, Peking University has started the R program of single spoke cavity (SSC). The work is proposed to do beam load experiment on the HI-13 Tandem at CIAE. The maximum kinetic energy of proton beam is 26MeV, and the frequency of the chopper for superconducting is 150MHz. It leads us to the choice of a 450MHz and β=0.2 single spoke cavity. In this paper, the RF design, mechanical study, fabrication arts, tolerance analysis, and room temperature RF test is presented., Proceedings of the 1st International Particle Accelerator Conference, IPAC2010, Kyoto, Japan
