Impact of Trapped Flux and Thermal Gradients on the Srf Cavity Quality Factor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The obtained Q0 value of a superconducting niobium cavity is known to depend on various factors like the RRR of the Niobium material, crystallinity, chemical treatment history, the high-pressure rinsing process, or effectiveness of the magnetic shielding. We have observed that spatial thermal gradients over the cavity length during cool-down appear to contribute to a degradation of Q0. Measurements were performed in the Horizontal Bi-Cavity Test Facility (HoBiCaT) at HZB on TESLA type cavities as well as on discand rod-shaped niobium samples equipped with thermal, electrical and magnetic diagnostics. Possible explanations for the effect are discussed.

IMPACT OF TRAPPED MAGNETIC FLUX AND THERMAL GRADIENTS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF Nb3Sn CAVITIES∗
Trapped magnetic flux is known to degrade the quality factor of superconducting cavities by increasing the surface losses ascribed to the residual resistance. In Nb3Sn cavities, which consist of a thin layer of Nb3Sn coated on a bulk niobium substrate, the bimetallic interface results in a thermal current being generated in the presence of a thermal gradient, which will in turn generate flux th...
متن کاملInfluence of the Cooldown at the Transition Temperature on the Srf Cavity Quality Factor
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) chan...

Propane combustion in a trapped vortex combustor (TVC) is characterized via large eddy simulation coupled with filtered mass density function. A computational algorithm based on high order finite difference (FD) schemes, is employed to solve the Eulerian filtered compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In contrast, a Lagrangian Monte-Carlo solver based on the filtered mass density function is inv...
