RF Superconducting Cavities for Accelerators

  • Chapter
Microwave Superconductivity

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NSSE,volume 375))

Abstract

In this chapter the state of the art of rf superconducting cavities for particle accelerators is presented and discussed. The main concepts of rf cavity design and the main physical parameters are first introduced. Fabrication techniques and diagnostic measurements are then described for both bulk and thin film niobium coated cavities. The application of superconducting cavities to Electron Linear Colliders, Proton Linacs and Ion Accelerators as well as Free Electron Lasers is also briefly outlined. A large set of measurements on thin film niobium cavities is then analyzed in order to get insight in the origin of residual and nonlinear losses. Finally the possible role and preliminary results on alternative, high Tc compounds, are discussed m detail.
