CERN Based $T_{c}$ Measurement Station for Thin-Film Coated Copper Samples and Results on Related Studies

In the framework of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) Study, the development of thin-film coated superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities capable of providing higher accelerating fields (10 to 20 MV/m against 5 MV/m of LHC) represents a major challenge. The development of a test stand commissioned at CERN for the inductive measurement of the critical temperature (T$_{c}$c) of SC thin-film deposited on copper samples for SRF application is presented in this work. Based on new studies for the production of Non Evaporable Getters (NEG) coated chambers, the first results of an alternative forming method for seamless copper cavities with niobium layer integrated in the production process are also presented.
