Study of Ac/rf Properties of Srf Ingot Niobium
In an attempt to correlate the performance of superconducting radiofrequency cavities made of niobium with the superconducting properties, we present the results of the magnetization and ac susceptibility of the niobium used in the superconducting radiofrequency cavity fabrication. The samples were subjected to buffer chemical polishing (BCP) surface and high temperature heat treatments, typica...
متن کاملRF and Surface Properties of Bulk Niobium and Niobium Film Samples
At CERN a compact Quadrupole Resonator has been developed for the RF characterization of superconducting samples at different frequencies. In this contribution measurements on bulk niobium and niobium film on copper samples are presented. Surface resistance results are being correlated to surface analyses measurements carried out on the same samples.
متن کاملRF and Surface Properties of Superconducting Samples
At CERN a compact Quadrupole Resonator has been developed for the RF characterization of superconducting samples at different frequencies. In this paper, results from measurements on bulk niobium and niobium film on copper substrate samples are presented. We show how different contributions to the surface resistance depend on temperature, applied RF magnetic field and frequency. Furthermore, me...
متن کاملPlasma Treatment of Bulk Nb Surface in the Ar/Cl2 Discharge
The preparation of the cavity walls has been one of the major challenges in the superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) accelerator technology. Therefore, constant research and development effort is devoted to develop surface preparation processes that will improve roughness and lower the level of impurities, like hydrogen or oxygen, embedded in bulk Nb, having in the same time reasonable etching...
متن کاملUHV Arc Deposition of Superconducting Niobium Films
Recently the UHV arc technology was proposed as a possible alternative for depositing thin superconducting films of pure niobium on the inside surface of RF cavities for particle accelerators. The paper describes status of research on deposition of superconducting films for RF accelerating cavities. New UHV arc based devices with planar and cylindrical niobium cathodes are presented. The main r...
