Influence of the Cooldown at the Transition Temperature on the Srf Cavity Quality Factor
نویسندگان
چکیده
A significant improvement of the quality factor Q0 from values of 1.5×10 10 to values around 3×10 10 at 1.8 K has been repeatedly achieved in a fully dressed and horizontally operated TESLA type SRF cavity by limited thermal cycling, i.e. heating the cavity briefly above the 9.2 K transition temperature of niobium and subsequent cooling. Conceivable explanations for this effect include (a) changes in shielding efficacy of the magnetic shielding to (b) thermal currents to (c) hydrogen diffusion and hydride formation. Our experiments are inconsistent with (a) and (c) being the responsible mechanism. It appears that the generation of additional magnetic flux due to the thermoelectric effect and the flux dynamics near the transition temperature are responsible for the observed effect.

High-q Cavity Operation: Study on the Thermoelectrically Induced Contribution to Rf Surface Resistance
We present a study concerning the operation of a superconducting RF cavity (non-doped niobium) in horizontal testing with the focus on understanding the thermoelectrically induced contribution to the surface resistance. Starting in 2009, we suggested a means of reducing the residual resistance by warming up a cavity after initial cooldown to about 20 K and cooling it down again [1]. In subseque...

In this paper design and two dimensional (2D) simulation of a photonic crystal highly sensitive temperature sensor is presented. The 2D simulations are based on finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and are done using Rsoft software. The device is constructed using a cavity filled with the distilled water located in the center of the photonic crystal waveguide. The operation of the propos...
متن کاملCancellation of Series-Loss Resistance in UWB Active Inductors using RC Feedback
One of the most important features of the Active Inductors (AIs) is their input equivalent resistance, namely series-loss resistance, which should be low enough to have a high Quality Factor (QF). Most of the previous methods by this goal did not yield a high enough QF. This paper presents a new method, namely applying an RC feedback, to cancel series-loss resistance entirely. As the RC fee...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann method for MHD natural convection of CuO/water nanofluid in a wavy-walled cavity with sinusoidal temperature distribution
In this paper, natural convection heat transfer of CuO-water Nanofluid within a wavy-walled cavity and subjected to a uniform magnetic field is examined by adopting the lattice Boltzmann model. The left wavy wall is heated sinusoidal, while the right flat wall is maintained at the constant temperature of Tc. The top and the bottom horizontal walls are smooth and insulated against heat and mass....
