Improved Surface Treatment of the Superconducting TESLA Cavities
نویسنده
چکیده
The proposed linear electron-positron collider TESLA is based on 1.3 GHz superconducting niobium cavities for particle acceleration. For a center-of-mass energy of 500 GeV an accelerating field of 23.4 MV/m is required which is reliably achieved with a niobium surface preparation by chemical etching. An upgrade of the collider to 800 GeV requires an improved cavity preparation technique. In this paper results are presented on single-cell cavities which demonstrate that fields of up to 40 MV/m are accessible by electrolytic polishing of the inner surface of the cavity.

The optimal shape of cells of a superconducting accelerating section
The shape of TESLA accelerating structure can be improved to decrease maximal surface magnetic field by sacrificing and increasing maximal surface electric field. This sacrifice may be necessary because the magnetic field is a hard limit but electric field emission can be decreased by processing. For the case of superconducting cavities RF magnetic strength should be of a more concern.

متن کاملFailure Analysis of the Beam Vacuum in the Superconducting Cavities of the TESLA Main Linear Accelerator
For the long term successful operation of the superconducting TESLA accelerator it is essential to avoid any accidental contamination of the accelerating cavities. We discuss several failure scenarios of the beam vacuum system that could potentially result in such contaminations. The risk of individual failure situations is evaluated as well as preventive measures to avoid them.
