Basic Principles of RF Superconductivity and Superconducting Cavities
نویسنده
چکیده
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 analytically. The design and performance of practical cavities is shortly addressed.

متن کاملThe Frequency Dependence of Superconducting Cavity Q . . - and Magnetic Breakdown Field
A theoretical-explanation is given to account for the unexpected observation that L-band Nb superconducting cavities were found to have lower Q and lower magnetic breakdown field than those of the higher X-band frequencies 0 Both effects can be related to the trapping of magnetic flux in the cavity walls. The frequency dependence arises from the frequency dependence of the resistivity of oscill...
