Designing Superconducting Cavities for Accelerators
نویسنده
چکیده
Rapid advances in the performance of superconducting cavities have made RF superconductivity a key technology for accelerators that fulfil a variety of physics needs: high energy particle physics, nuclear physics, neutron spallation sources, and free electron lasers. New applications are forthcoming for frontier high energy physics accelerators, radioactive beams for nuclear astrophysics, next generation light sources, intense proton accelerators for neutron, neutrino and muon sources.

Superconducting cavities for accelerators
Superconducting cavities have been in operation in accelerators for 25 years. In the last decade many installations in storage rings and linacs have been completed. Meanwhile, nearly 1 km of active cavity length is in operation in accelerators. Large-scale applications of superconducting radiofrequency systems are planned for future e+e− linear colliders and proton linacs. Superconducting cavit...
متن کاملDevelopment and Characterization of Thin Film Superconducting Radio Frequency Surfaces for Accelerator Cavities
Superconducting thin films have the potential to improve the performance of particle accelerators. Before these thin films can be implemented, a systematic study on structureproperty correlations is necessary. Here, we present the characterization of niobium thin films deposited onto both ceramic and metallic substrates. In particular, the film microstructure and superconducting properties are ...
متن کاملTesla Superconducting Accelerating Structures
The application of the superconductivity phenomenon in accelerators originated with pioneer work in the late sixties at the High Energy Physics Laboratory (HEPL) at Stanford University [1]. Starting with the deposition of lead on copper and niobium on copper, by the end of 1968 the HEPL group had developed and tested the first bulk niobium superconducting accelerating cavity [2]. The result was...
متن کاملOn active disturbance rejection based control design for superconducting RF cavities
Superconducting RF (SRF) cavities are key components of modern linear particle accelerators. The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) is building a 3 MeV/u re-accelerator (ReA3) using SRF cavities. Lightly loaded SRF cavities have very small bandwidths (high Q) making them very sensitive to mechanical perturbations whether external or self-induced. Additionally, some cavity type...
متن کاملResistive Hom Load for Superconducting Cavities*
Ferrites and lossy ceramics, used in HOM (higher order mode) loads for superconducting accelerators, have shortcomings such as poor batch-to-batch reproducibility of electromagnetic properties, extremely low electric conductivity at cryogenic temperatures leading to accumulation of charge on the material surface, brittleness, which may cause contamination of the nearby SRF cavities by lossy dus...
