Abstract
In 1979 a feasibility study for the application of superconducting accelerator cavities to LEP was started at CERN. In a first series of measurements using a single cell test cavity (f= 500 MHz) quality factors of 2.1 × 109 and maximum acceleration fields of 4.6 MV/m were reached at 4.2 K. A short survey of the experimental layout and the results are given. For the measurements a chain of carbon resistors and solid state X-ray detectors was used for temperature and X-ray mapping of the cavity surface. Together with a visual inspection of the cavity interior during operation a better insight in field breakdowns mechanism and electron loading could be obtained.
