国際リニアコライダー計画(ILC)用試験加速器として建設されたSTF-2クライオモジュールには、ニオブ製1.3GHz、9-cell超伝導空洞が12台内蔵されており、運転温度2Kでパルス高加速電界での電子ビーム加速試験が行われています。2019年3月にはILCの目標値である平均加速電界32MV/mでのビーム運転が達成され、ビームエネルギーとして280MeVまでのビーム加速に成功しました。内面検査・機械研磨装置、電解研磨や高圧水洗浄などの表面処理装置、組立用クリーンルーム、空洞単体での低温性能評価を行う縦型測定システムなど、超伝導空洞開発を全工程に渡って一貫して行う設備が整っており、超伝導空洞の高性能化に重点を置いた研究活動を行っています。 特に、清浄環境下で超伝導空洞の窒素雰囲気中での真空熱処理を行うための高温真空熱処理炉が開発され、この真空熱処理炉を用いた窒素熱処理(窒素ドープ、窒素インフージョン)による高Q値・高加速電界の達成を目指した開発研究が重点的に行われています。横型クライオスタットでは超伝導電子銃空洞の冷却試験が計画され、また、陽子・重イオンを加速するための低ベータ型超伝導空洞開発が共同研究により展開されています。さらに、ニオブより高い超伝導転移温度を持つNb3SnやMgB2を用いた超伝導薄膜空洞の開発研究にも着手しています。
