Premise Progress since Snowmass 2013 After the 2003 ITRP recommendation to focus on Superconducting RF, in the last decade the technology in Normal-Conducting RF has made considerable progress. C3, which uses parallel-feed RF structures, enable both higher accelerating gradients and higher efficiencies and achieves linac gradients exceeding 100 MV/m with cryo-cooled Cu. Superconducting Nb3Sn coated RF cavities are expected to achieve 100 MV/m too, plus a Q030 times that of Nb. Nb3Sn coated cavities can be operated at 4.5 K rather than in superfluid helium. Heavily processed bulk Nb cavities are a main cost driver, whereas Cu or bronze are less expensive and much more thermally efficient metals. There are small R&D efforts in the U.S. and abroad, including at CERN, in producing Nb3Sn films on either Cu or bronze. Parallel-feed RF structures are applicable to both Cu and Nb3Sn coated Cu cells.
Baseline Design/Layout and Parameters Based on the assessment of current efforts in the U.S. on the novel concept of parallel- feed RF accelerator structures, and in the U.S. and abroad in producing Nb3Sn films on either Cu or bronze, we recommend that the Particle Physics community foster R&D in Superconducting Nb3Sn coated Cu RF Cavities instead of costly bulk Nb, while pursuing in parallel the novel U.S. concept of parallel-feed RF accelerator structures made of Cu or Cu alloys. A technology that synergistically uses both of these advanced tools would make an ILC or equivalent machines more affordable and more likely to be built. A devoted global effort in developing Cu cavity structures coated with Nb3Sn would readily apply to other HEP accelerators, for instance a Muon Collider, and to accelerators beyond HEP. A machine whose RF structures are made of bulk Cu or bronze that operate with the properties of Nb3Sn would deliver higher gradient and higher temperature of operation and reduce the overall capital and operational costs of any future lepton collider below and above 1 TeV cm.

State of Proposal and R&D needs (5-10 years) Under reasonable funding in the U.S. with respect to now, perform R&D in Superconducting Nb3Sn coated Cu RF Cavities instead of on costly bulk Nb. Use the next decade for R&D on producing Nb3Sn on inexpensive and thermally efficient metals such as Cu or bronze, while pursuing in parallel the novel U.S. concept of parallel-feed RF accelerator structures. Increased effort on these two techniques would synergize expenditures towards which will naturally converge to a clear decision by the community on which path to take for the RF of an ILC. Use SLAC existing and future test setups for single cavity tests first, and meter scale next. That would lead to a decision to proceed with cryomodule design. Cryomodules to be tested at SLAC Demo or at FAST. Use SLAC Demo setup to test components from industry as they scale up in 2030-2034. 2028 CDR 10-year progress, 2030-2034 Industrialization
Conclusions A devoted global effort in developing Cu cavity structures coated with Nb3Sn would make the ILC or Higgs/EW factories more affordable and more likely to be built. Using the next decade for R&D on producing Nb3Sn on inexpensive and thermally efficient metals such as Cu or bronze, while pursuing in parallel the novel U.S. concept of parallel-feed RF accelerator structures, would compound the best of both worlds. Not only do parallel-feed RF structures enable both higher accelerating gradients and higher efficiencies, but they would be applicable to both Cu and Nb3Sn coated Cu cells. Increased effort on these two techniques would synergize expenditures towards 10-year progress, which will naturally converge to a clear decision by the community on which path to take for the RF of an ILC or other leptonic future accelerator. If for any reason, the C3structures were not ready in ten years, the current methods of Nb3Sn coatings on Cu or bronze are geared towards standard cavity cells. Were one of these methods to succeed, it could still be implemented on conventional Cu RFs. In conclusion, the use of distributed coupling structure topology within improved performance parameters together with Nb3Sn coating technology can lead to a paradigm shift for superconducting linacs, with higher gradient, higher temperature of operation, and reduced overall costs for any future collider.
