Abstract :
The production of 360 superconducting 1.5-GHz niobium cavities for the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) is discussed. The production of these cavities includes the manufacturing from niobium material of residual resistance ratio (RRR) >or=250 for the cells, the RF optimization of frequency (+or-100 kHz), field flatness ( Delta EE >
