SRF Cavity High-Gradient Study at 805 MHz for Proton and Other Applications

805 MHz elliptical SRF cavities have been used for SNS as the first application for protons. At LANL, an R&D started to explore a capability of getting high-gradient cavities (40-50 MV/m) at this frequency for the future applications such as proton and muon based interrogation testing facility added to the LANSCE accelerator and a power upgrade of the LANSCE accelerator for the fission and fusion material test station. Optimized cell designs for “standard”, “low-loss” and “re-entrant” shapes, cavity test results for “standard” single-cell cavities with temperature mapping as well as surface inspection results will be presented.
