Description

 

This workshop will review the current understanding on flux trapping and magnetic field expulsion for pure or infused/doped bulk niobium, coated, and A15 superconducting cavities. The goal is to identify areas, which are not yet understood and to define an experimental program to improve our understanding over the coming years. 

The workshop will be divided into the following sessions:

I) Magnetic Shielding (conveners: S.K. Chandrasekaran, FNAL; R. Laxdal, TRIUMF; M. Masuzawa, KEK) 

Since a long time, it has been known that SRF cavities may trap the ambient magnetic field present when the cavity is undergoing its transition to the superconducting state. This trapped flux is responsible for additional dissipation at RF frequencies, and SRF engineers have strived to suppress the extra losses by suitable magnetic shielding. In this session, we would like to review the techniques which are available to achieve conditions as close as needed to zero field cooling in cryomodules. Magnetic hygiene, passive and active shielding, computer simulations, and techniques of measurement of the residual field will be discussed; the aim is to highlight the engineering efforts and to estimate the resources required to achieve different levels of ambient field reduction, as appropriated to the SRF material under consideration and to the application at hand.

II) Flux Expulsion Efficiency (conveners: J. Koeszegi, HZB; D. Longuevergne, IPNO; K. Umemori, KEK)

In real superconductors, the Meissner effect is almost invariably incomplete. The ability to expel the magnetic field upon transition to the superconducting state varies amongst different materials and cavity geometries. In the extreme case, the expulsion does not happen at all, and all the ambient magnetic field is trapped in the form of vortices. This is most often the case of Nb/Cu thin films. Recently the efficiency of flux expulsion in SRF cavities has been the object of several studies, which highlighted dependencies from material parameters and from the cool down dynamics.

A related topic is the possible presence of thermoelectric currents, stirred by temperature gradients across the cavity during transition.

Advancing towards a full understanding of all factors controlling flux expulsion in SRF cavities would contribute to i) optimise the performance of SC cavities, and to ii) relax the need of a highly performant magnetic shielding. In this session, we plan to review and discuss the existing theoretical frameworks and data sets, and their possible evolution and integration.

III) Sensitivity to Trapped Flux (conveners: M. Checchin, FNAL; A. Miyazaki, CERN)

Once flux is trapped in a SRF cavity, the associated dissipation will contribute to the total surface resistance. The loss mechanism is thought to be related to the forced oscillations that vortices may undergo under the effect of the Lorentz force when RF fields penetrate into the superconductor. For a same amount of trapped flux, however, different materials display different levels of RF dissipation, which is expressed by the so-called sensitivity. The surface resistance induced by a given amount of ambient magnetic field is therefore dependant on i) flux expulsion in-efficiency and ii) sensitivity to the trapped flux, which are both functions of material parameters. Sensitivity is as well a function of the applied RF frequency and amplitude. Several models have been proposed, to explain all the observations, but we still lack a predictive theory. Besides being a fascinating subject in itself, understanding and controlling the sensitivity to trapped flux in SRF cavities would have a direct impact on the cavity performances and on cryomodule costs. As for the case of flux expulsion, the session will be devoted to review and discuss the existing theoretical models and experimental work, and to their possible developments.

 

Each session will start with an invited review talk, followed by invited and contributed talks on proposed theories, observed phenomena, and experimental results. Each session will close with a discussion that shall result in a proposal for future experiments. 

The chairs are then asked to summarise their respective session in a write-up, which will be published after the workshop. 

The workshop will be held as a TTC topical workshop and it will receive funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 740871.

        Measurement of magnetic shielding performance and permeability of soft magnetic alloys for SRF 25m

        Magnetic shield products are manufactured through specialized processes, including heat treatment and performance testing of DC magnetic shielding. By May 2018, all of the magnetic shields for the SRF of the FRIB were completed and passed performance tests at room temperature in our factory. Those products are made of mu-metal, a nickel-iron alloy, instead of from an alloy for cryogenic temperatures. Heat treatment was done at 1100 degrees Celsius with a hydrogen gas atmosphere, and the permeability of the mu- metal increased by about 100 times larger than that of the raw material. In the final process, the performance of each product was tested in a 40-50 uT DC magnetic field. The shielding factors were calculated from magnetic field strengths measured by a magnetometer, which is carefully calibrated. The talk will also discuss the behavior of permeability at several levels of cryogenic temperature for farther understanding of shielding performance at 4.2, 25, 50, 100, and 200K.

        Small magnetic field measurements and control at CERN 25m

        At CERN, magnetic measurement activities typically concern fields up to about 10 T, with uncertainties in the 10-100 ppm range. In some cases, however, measurement and control of very low fields, in the range of nano to microcrotesla, is needed. In this talk, we shall first review briefly such cases, which are mostly motivated by the mitigation of beam perturbations at very low energy or over large regions. Next we will discuss the instrumentation best suited for such low levels, including both custom-made and commercially available sensors, which are mostly designed for geomagnetic applications. Finally, we will list the specific capabilities available at CERN in this area, which include commercial teslameters of various types, manufacturing capabilities for inductive sensors, controllable scalar and vector field sources and other test and calibration facilities.

        Magnetic field management in cryomodules and vertical cryostats at CEA-Saclay 25m

        Limitation of the flux trapping in superconducting cavities requires magnetic field management around cavities. At CEA, this activity is carried out both for cryomodules (IFMIF, ESS, SARAF) and test facilities. Appropriate magnetic shielding must be provided, and magnetic field sources must be avoided close to the cavities. This latter point requires the selection of non magnetic material for all elements located close to the cavity. When solenoids are located inside cryomodules (e.g. IFMIF, SARAF), it must be verified that the surrounding elements will not be magnetised.
        The presentation will describe tests and solutions implemented at CEA for this purpose.

        Magnetic field management for SRF 35m

        Magnetic field management for SRF cavities has grown in importance with recent projects desiring greater Q, implying smaller magnetic fields at the cavities. This requires cryomodules and facilities to be designed with additional measures, such as global and/or local passive magnetic shielding as well as active methods to reduce fields. I will provide a summary of these techniques as applied to the LCLS-II project.
        In addition to the LCLS-II results, I shall also present techniques and results from FRIB, on behalf of Kenji Saito.

        Characterisation of the magnetic shield efficiency for the ESS double spoke cavities 15m

        Measurements of the efficiency of the magnetic shield have been carried out for the ESS Spoke cavities. The magnetic shield is made of Cryophy, a Nickel-Iron alloy, and is mounted around the Double-Spoke cavity. It is composed of two 1mm-thick layers, actively cooled by cryogenic circuit (LHe @ 4K). The installation of a mock-up cavity in the prototype cryomodule (made of stainless steel) gave us the opportunity to characterize the efficiency of the magnetic shield. The set-up of the experiment will be presented. First results showed that, at room temperature, the residual magnetic field inside the mock-up cavity is reduced by a factor of approximately 300. Measurements at lower temperatures, between 20K and 60K, have also been carried out and showed no degradation of the magnetic shield efficiency. Results will be presented in details and discussed.

        Review of magnetic flux expulsion 25m

        This presentation will give an overview of magnetic flux expulsion. This will include a general description of the phenomenon and how it is fits into the larger picture of Q0 degradation due to trapped flux. A historical overview will be presented, focusing particularly on recent developments in the understanding of flux expulsion. The importance of this parameter to achieve high Q0 will be highlighted. In addition, areas will be noted where understanding is lacking and additional insight is needed

        Can the present techniques for cavity flux expulsion efficiency measurements be unified? 15m

        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 of trapped fluxes measured with different techniques. It is shown that the measured trapped fluxes can be quite different depending on the technique adopted. It follows then that further effort is still needed in developing a universal technique for the measurement of local trapped fluxes over the entire wall of an elliptical shape cavity.

        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 production grade materials are analyzed, aiming to correlate such properties with the flux expelling behavior of cavities

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 addressed in an effort to correlate with ambient magnetic field simulations and expected flux expulsion.
        Measurements show a high degree of flux trapping and clear signs of thermal currents, which is discussed in relation to the cavity preparation and cool down.

        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 consist of eight cavities produced by two vendors, Research Instruments GmbH in Germany (RI) and Ettore Zanon S.p.a. in Italy (EZ), using niobium cell material from Tokyo Denkai Co., Ltd. (TD) and Ningxia Orient Tantalum Industry Co., Ltd. (OTIC/NX).

                    The initial production cavities showed multiple deficiencies including manufacturing flaws from one vendor, high rates of field emission from both vendors and Qo reduction from a previously unknown flux trapping/pinning material dependence. Additional new cavities material from Tokyo Denkai (TD) has been purchased; TD showed the best flux expulsion and RF performance at the lowest heat treatment temperature from the original two niobium vendors (OTIC Ningxia being the other). Because there is still not a full understanding of the reason why the TD material performed better than the OTIC material, single-cell cavities from each new niobium heat treatment lot are being made with the standard 900°C annealing w/ 800°C doping recipe ahead of the 9-cell cavities. These single cells must be tested/analyzed prior to the 9 cells' (made from the same batch) heat treatment cycle. We will report on the single cell flux expulsion results and how they correlate to manufacture supplied material properties.

        Trapped flux sensitivity studies as a function of: treatment, RF field and frequency 17m

        The trapped flux surface resistance dependence on surface treatment, RF field and resonance frequency has been intensively studied at FNAL. The findings of this study are here presented, with a particular focus on the level of sensitivity at high fields given by the state-of-the-art high-gradient treatments such as 120C baking, N-infusion and modified 75-120C baking . Analyzing these results altogether with the variation of the BCS surface resistance component, it is possible to understand which treatment gives the highest Q-factor at a given RF field, frequency and amount of trapped flux

        Sensitivity to trapped flux in high-purity large-grain niobium based on cavity measurements 17m

        Surface resistance arising from trapped flux is experimentally measured, by which the sensitivity to trapped flux is derived. Measurements are carried out with single-cell L-band SRF cavities made of high-purity large-grain niobium materials, immersed in a uniform externally applied magnetic field generated by a solenoid whose axis overlaps the cavity axis. The surface resistance is found by using the standard technique for Q0 measurement and the customary G/Q0 analysis.Q0 values at a fixed low surface field are used. The trapped flux is found by measuring flux densities at a selected location using a single-axis fluxgate magnetometer attached to the cavity outer surface: Ba*[1-(Bsc-Bnc)/(Bsc^(0)-Bnc)], where Ba is the applied external field, Bnc and Bsc is the local flux density measured just above and below Tc, respectively, during a field-cooling of the cavity whose Q0 is then measured, Bsc^(0) is measured in a separate zero-field-cooling by keeping the cavity in the same location and turning on the identical applied field Ba at a temperature well below Tc . Several magnetometers are placed at various locations. It is found that the sensitivity to trapped flux in high-purity large-grain niobium to be 1.9 nOhm/microTesla on average. This is to be compared to 3-9 nOhm/microTesla in high purity fine-grain niobium and 10-50 nOhm/microTesla in nitrogen-doped high-purity niobium reported by other groups. We will discuss the measurement results as well as the measurement techniques.

        Flux trapping investigation in superconducting samples via the quadrupole resonator 17m

        Magnetic flux trapping has been demonstrated to be very detrimental for the performances of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities for accelerators. How exactly the flux, trapped in pinning centers in the form of vortices, results in dissipation of the RF power is an interesting open question. Theoretical models have been proposed to explain the experimental observations. A possible discriminant between the different models is the dependence of the trapping sensitivity as a function of the RF frequency.
        The quadrupole resonator (QPR) at CERN is a tool that allows for the measurement of the surface resistance of flat samples at different temperatures, peak magnetic fields at the sample surface and RF frequencies. This makes the QPR very appealing for fundamental studies on flux trapping. Indeed, frequency dependencies can be investigated on a single superconducting sample, with no need to change the object under test.
        In this work, we present results of the surface resistance measured for both a bulk niobium and superconducting films on a copper sample in the presence of external magnetic field to enhance the trapping effect. The results are presented in comparison to the proposed models, with particular focusing on the frequency dependence.

        Optimization of High Temperature N2 Doping for Minimization of Sensitivity to Trapped Flux and Maximization of Quench Fields 12m

        We will describe Fermilab experiments that focus on the optimization of doping parameters to achieve low sensitivity to magnetic flux while maintaining very high Q characteristic of nitrogen doped cavities and same or higher quench fields. One of the directions pursued is using lighter doping recipes which have been shown in the past to increase the mean free path of the resonator and decrease the sensitivity to magnetic flux; moreover, a correlation has been found between lighter doping and higher quench fields, while maintaining sufficiently low surface resistance. We will describe new progress obtained via new doping recipes, explored partially in the context of the LCLS-2 high energy upgrade

        In this talk I discuss the RF dissipation of trapped vortices which contribute to the residual surface resistance in SRF cavities. In particular, the power caused by oscillations of flexible pinned vortex segments driven by a weak RF field, and the dependencies of the RF power on frequency, spatial distribution of pinning centers and purity of the material are considered. A brief overview of the vortex viscous drag is given, starting from the conventional Bardeen-Stephen model and its generalizations including the effect of the De-Gennes energy levels in the vortex core and the nonmagnetic impurity scattering. A nonlinear vortex viscosity at strong RF current drives, terminal velocities of vortices penetrating the cavities at the RF fields close to the superheating field, and the extent to which pinning can mitigate the RF vortex dissipation are discussed.

        In this study, the radio-frequency complex response of trapped vortices in superconductors calculated for small values of applied radio-frequency field, will be presented. In agreement with experimental data on bulk niobium radio-frequency cavities, the calculated surface resistance shows a non-monotonic trend as a function of the mean-free-path and a sigmoidal-like trend as a function of the frequency. These two trends are shown to be generated by the interplay of two different dissipation regimes - pinning and flux-flow - which can be tuned either by acting on the material parameters (mean-free-path, pinning sites configuration, pinning strength, coherence length and penetration depth) or on the resonator frequency.

        The improvement of the performance of RF superconducting cavities has recently motivated a considerable research effort to elucidate the effect of trapped magnetic flux on the surface resistance . In this paper we show that by introducing a non-linear pinning force in the Gittleman-Rosenblum equations for the RF power dissipation due to a trapped magnetic flux in a superconductor, we can properly describe the linear dependence of the additional surface resistance on the RF field amplitude . In particular, we also show that the proportionality between the RF-field dependent and independent parts and , and the frequency dependence of follow naturally from this approach

        In this talk, I will explain the hysteretic mechanisms that are responsible for field-dependent residual losses of SRF cavities due to the motion of isolated trapped vortex lines under the action of parallel oscillating fields at the surface. By invoking collective weak pinning theory in the context of the Bardeen-Stephen model of vortex dynamics, I will present simple estimates, approximate analytical calculations, and numerical simulations that compare well with cavity tests performed in CERN and Cornell. Our simple formulas describing power losses and crossover behavior can be used to guide the tuning of material parameters to optimize cavity performance.
