Tests on Mgb2 for Application to Srf Cavities*

چکیده
Magnesium diboride (MgB2) has a transition temperature (Tc) of ~40 K, i.e., about 4 times higher than niobium (Nb). Studies in the last 3 years have shown that it could have about one order of magnitude less RF surface resistance (Rs) than Nb at 4 K and seems to have much less power dependence than high-Tc materials such as YBCO. However, it was also found that it will depend on the way you deposit the film. The result from on-axis pulsed laser deposition (PLD) showed rapid increase in Rs with higher surface magnetic fields compared to the film deposited with reactive evaporation method.

Magnesium diboride coated bulk niobium: a new approach to higher acceleration gradient
Bulk niobium Superconducting Radio-Frequency cavities are a leading accelerator technology. Their performance is limited by the cavity loss and maximum acceleration gradient, which are negatively affected by vortex penetration into the superconductor when the peak magnetic field at the cavity wall surface exceeds the vortex penetration field (Hvp). It has been proposed that coating the inner wa...
متن کاملENERGETIC CONDENSATION GROWTH OF MgB2 THIN-FILMS FOR SRF APPLICATIONS*
We report single-step vacuum growth of stoichiometric superconducting thin films of MgB2, using AASC’s cathodic arc deposition process. Energetic condensation using cathodic arcs produces non-equilibrium fast ions (~50-100eV) that allow growth modes on relatively low temperature substrates. We have demonstrated MgB2 films with Tc of 34K by depositing at 275 °C in a single step, from a stoichiom...

Five new accelerating modules were installed into the TTF tunnel as a part of the VUV FEL Linac. They are tested prior to the linac operation. The RF test includes processing of the superconducting cavities, as well as maximum module performance tests. The test procedure and the achieved modules cavities performance are presented. Abstract Five new accelerating modules were installed into the T...

Superconducting RF photo guns are suitable candidates for electron injectors in future free-electron lasers and energy recovery linacs. For the radiation source ELBE an SRF gun was build and put into operation. During longterm tests, the operation of normal-conducting photocathodes in the superconducting cavity has been successfully demonstrated. At moderate average currents of some hundreds of...
متن کاملBessy Vsr: a Novel Application of Srf for Synchrotron Light Sources
CW SRF Cavities have been used very successfully in the past in synchrotron light sources to provide high power acceleration. Here we present a novel application of higher harmonic systems of two different frequencies (1.5 GHz and 1.75 GHz) to generate a beating of accelerating voltage. With such a system it is possible to store "standard" (some 10 ps long) and "short" (ps and sub-ps long) puls...
