A -- PROCEDURE DEVELOPMENT FOR ELECTROPOLISHING SCRF SINGLE CELL CAVITIES

Fermilab intends to establish a Cooperative Research andDevelopment Agreement (CRADA) in the field of electropolishing (EP) of niobium superconducting cavities. The main purpose of this CRADA is to develop the ability to conduct EP R&D on single cell superconducting radio frequency (SCRF) niobium cavities. This development will facilitate the acquisition of information needed to define the International Linear Collider (ILC) cavity processing method and will eventually lead to the industrialization of this process. A single cell electropolishing apparatus (SCEPA) is currently being built for use in this CRADA.
