Presented by Grigory Eremeev Outline: - Cavities and Fields; - Results; - Tricks of the Trade: new shapes; - Making of theoretical niobium.

Presented by Grigory Eremeev Conducting cavities can be filled with electromagnetic energy. This energy is then transferred to charged particles flying along the cavity axis.

Presented by Grigory Eremeev THE CAVITY Cavity cavity Niobium – best superconducting properties among all pure metals: T c ~ K; H c ~ 2000 Oe; R bcs ~ mΩ at 2 0 K Nb : R s ~ mΩ Cu: Rs ~ 10 mΩ ↓ Q nb ~ up to E acc = 5·10 7 Volts per meter

Presented by Grigory Eremeev Ideal Q0Q0 E acc, MV/m Real

Presented by Grigory Eremeev High-purity Nb, sheet inspection, CBP, etc Improved cavity shape Electron multiplication Thermal breakdown Electron field emission Quench High-pressure rinsing, cleanroom procedures Electropolishing, low temperature baking, … Limitation: Solution: Courtesy of Matthias Liepe Limitation: Solution: MV/m MV/m MV/m 2005 >40 MV/m MV/m MV/m High field Q- reduction Further improved cavity shapes

Presented by Grigory Eremeev We are still limited at about E acc = 40 MV/m for standard elliptical-shape cavities. Best cavities

Presented by Grigory Eremeev Tricks of the Trade: New shapes

Presented by Grigory Eremeev H surface = 2065 Oe Superconductivity above H c Tested at Cornell on March 14, 2007…record still holds

Presented by Grigory Eremeev Making of Theoretical Niobium: large grain and single crystal Another Trick

Presented by Grigory Eremeev

Large grain cavities P. Kneisel et al., Single Crystal Workshop In order to improve niobium surface it was proposed to increase grain size, and to make large grain or even single crystal cavities.

Exceptional smoothness From paper by W. Singer et al., PAC’2007

Presented by Grigory Eremeev We are looking for other tricks…

Presented by Grigory Eremeev Next speaker will talk more about studies related to high-field limitation of RF cavities. More tricks?
