Superconducting radiofrequency (RF) cavities made of Nb have been shown to achieve their theoretical limit, while only minor improvements using standard procedures are expected in operation. Hence, new treatments and materials that tailor the RF surface are mandatory. Since theoretical models of the RF behavior of such surfaces do not fully describe the observations, we lack guidance for future research and identifying important parameters. To provide experimental data to improve these theoretical models and study material properties, and their impact on the RF performance, a dedicated sample test system is needed. The quadrupole resonator (QPR) is such a test cavity and allows for investigating samples of 7.5 cm in diameter under superconducting-cavity-like conditions in a wide parameter space defined by temperature, magnetic field and frequency. In this work we report the status of the QPR being developed as a joint project of Universität Hamburg and DESY.
