Development of Nb{sub 3}Sn Cavity Vapor Diffusion Deposition System

2014 
Nb$_{3}$Sn is a BCS superconductors with the superconducting critical temperature higher than that of niobium, so theoretically it surpasses the limitations of niobium in RF fields. The feasibility of technology has been demonstrated at 1.5 GHz with Nb$_{3}$Sn vapor deposition technique at Wuppertal University$~\cite{Wuppertalthebest}$. The benefit at these frequencies is more pronounced at 4.2 K, where Nb$_{3}$Sn coated cavities show RF resistances an order of magnitude lower than that of niobium. At Jefferson Lab we started the development of Nb$_{3}$Sn vapor diffusion deposition system within an R\&D development program towards compact light sources. Here we present the current progress of the system development.
