Surface Superconductivity in Niobium for Superconducting RF Cavities
A systematic study is presented on the superconductivity (sc) parameters of the ultrapure niobium used for the fabrication of the nine-cell 1.3 GHz cavities for the linear collider project TESLA. Cylindrical Nb samples have been subjected to the same surface treatments that are applied to the TESLA cavities: buffered chemical polishing (BCP), electrolytic polishing (EP), low-temperature bakeout...
متن کاملBasic Principles of RF Superconductivity and Superconducting Cavities
The basics of superconductivity are outlined with special emphasis on the features which are relevant for the application of superconductors in radio frequency cavities for particle acceleration. For a cylindrical resonator (“pill box cavity”) the electromagnetic field in the cavity and important parameters such as resonance frequency, quality factor and shunt impedance are calculated analytica...

متن کاملChange of Rf Superconductivity Parameters Induced by Heat Treatment on Niobium Cavities
We have investigated the thermal quench evolution of a Niobium cavity, chemically polished, during ultra high vacuum annealings from 100 to 800°C. Ten cavities have been tested before heat treatment (HT) and the results show a good agreement with the BCS theory for a diffuse reflection of the conduction electrons on the metal surface. All along the HT we have clearly identified at first the oxy...
متن کاملAnisotropic Thermal Conductivity of Polycrystalline Niobium for Superconducting Cavities
This study investigates the thermal conductivity Κ of polycrystalline niobium. We recall that superconducting cavities for particle accelerators are made of niobium. And, the thermal conductivity Κ is one of the factors which play an important role in the cooling of these cavities by the surrounding superfluid helium bath. Our experiments revealed a rather unexpected discrepancy in the thermal ...
