Presently, three different techniques are used for deducing the trapped flux of SRF cavities quantitatively based on measurements of flux expulsion at the phase transition moment during the cavity cool-down process. It is still an open question as to whether these techniques give results that are consistent to each other. In this talk, we introduce two formulae that allow direct cross checking...
This presentation will discuss techniques used for magnetic field measurement in SRF cavities as well as samples. Advances, challenges and future prospects will be given.
The efficiency of flux expulsion during the cavity superconducting transition is affected significantly by the properties of the material used to fabricate the cavity itself. Significant variability is indeed observed when comparing cavities fabricated with material coming from different vendors. Here we present results from a recent study in which the microscopic properties of different...
We started EBSD measurements, which can be observed while changing temperature of Nb samples in a chamber. We expect measurements on grain orientation, stress and dislocation can give us important information to understand pinning center and flux expulsion
Initial investigations on magnetic flux expulsion in the CERN vertical test cryostats are discussed, with measurements taken on a bulk Nb 704 MHz 5-cell elliptical cavity. Cool down procedure is assessed in terms of both magnetic field flux expulsion and thermal currents, and the implication to RF performance is discussed.
In addition, mapping of magnetic field inside the cryostat is...
In each VT for QWR at RIKEN, we measure the vertical magnetic field at the upper part of the cavity. We report the obtained data, mainly at a moment the cavity shifts from NC to SC, and from SC to NC.
In this presentation, I will give an overview of the substantial influence of magnetic flux expulsion on the performance of production cavities for LCLS-II, focusing particularly on their performance in cryomodule tests. Strong correlations are observed between Q0 and the temperature at which vacuum furnace treatment occurred.
The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is currently constructing a major upgrade to its accelerator, the Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II). Several Department of Energy national laboratories, including the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), are participating in this project.The 1.3-GHz cryomodules for this project...
The present status of the measurements and analysis wrt. the residual static magnetic field in the vertical test cryostats and the used test inserts at DESY are presented. First commissiong tests to determine the flux expulsion of 120C electropolished cavities have been done. The more than 1200 vertical tests done on the European XFEL series cavity production gave no indication about a cavity...
The absolute calibration of the AMR sensors used in our flux expulsion experiment will be presented. Furthermore the latest results obtained with the 3D magnetic field mapping system, investigating the flux expulsion efficiency of a 1.3 GHz TESLA-type single cell cavity will be discussed.
Measurements of magnetic sensitivity to trapped flux on several type of cavity geometries have been performed at IPNO showing a clear geometrical effect. Magnetic sensitivity is dependent on the cavity geometry and on the residual magnetic field orientation. A presentation of experimental data will be done. These will be as well compared to the theoretical magnetic sensitivities calculated...
This talk will provide a short review of the different pinning mechanisms that operate in useful superconductors. We will consider both high kappa superconducting materials used for high field magnets and low kappa materials used for SRF. We will visualise the different pinning processes that operate and discuss the theoretical descriptions for such processes. Finally we will identify the...
