Abstract We have performed a series of vertical tests of three different designs of single cell Niobium superconducting cavities at 2 degrees Kelvin. These tests aimed at establishing that an accelerating gradient of 45 MV/m could be reached in any of the designs, while using the standard KEK surface preparation. The designs tested were the Cornel re-entrant shape (RE), the DESY/KEK Low Loss shape (LL), and the KEK ICHIRO series. The cavities underwent surface preparation consisting of centrifugal barrel polishing, light chemical polishing, electropolishing, and final a high-pressure water rinse. All three kinds cavities were used in a series of vertical tests to investigate details of the surface treatment. When using ultra-pure water for the high pressure rinse, the LL cavity reproducibly exceeded a gradient of 45 MV/m, the RE design reproducibly reached a gradient of between 50 MV/m and 52 MV/m, and three of the six ICHIRO cavities reached a gradient of between 45 MV/m and 51 MV/m.

Summary Proof of reproducibility was done. See poster MOPLS087 New cavity shapes with low Hp/Eacc made a breakthrough in high gradient of 50MV/m. From the analysis of field enhancement factor  it was also shown that the high gradient performance of IS shape is superior to other shapes.
