Four new super-conducting Quarter Wave Resonators (QWR, β = 0.13), obtained by niobium sputtered on an OFHC copper substrate, were recently installed and tested on the ALPI post-accelerator (1). The resonators substituted four similar ones that were operating at 4 MV/m at 7 W, because two of their couplers jammed. Now the cavities have a new coupler design and show an acceleration field, measured with different ion species, in excess of 6 MV/m at 7 W (about 1 MeV energy gain per cavity per char...
