The Race For The Highest Gradient Grigory Eremeev 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: • Tc ~ 9.25 0K; • Hc ~ 2000 Oe; • Rbcs ~ .00001 mΩ at 2 0K Nb : Rs ~ .00001 mΩ Cu: Rs ~ 10 mΩ ↓ Qnb ~ 1011 up to Eacc = 5·107 Volts per meter Presented by Grigory Eremeev

Best cavities We are still limited at about Eacc = 40 MV/m for standard elliptical-shape cavities. Presented by Grigory Eremeev
Tricks of the Trade: New shapes Presented by Grigory Eremeev
Re-entrant cavities Reduction of surface magnetic field by increasing magnetic volume Courtesy of Valery Shemelin Presented by Grigory Eremeev
Re-entrant cavity breaks the barrier in 2005 at Cornell Presented by Grigory Eremeev
For the talk by J. Sekutowicz, SLAC, January 25, 2005 Presented by Grigory Eremeev
For the talk by Takayuki Saeki, KEK Presented by Grigory Eremeev
Superconductivity above Hc Tested at Cornell on March 14, 2007…record still holds Hsurface = 2065 Oe Presented by Grigory Eremeev
Another Trick Making of Theoretical Niobium: large grain and single crystal Presented by Grigory Eremeev
Large grain cavities In order to improve niobium surface it was proposed to increase grain size, and to make large grain or even single crystal cavities. P. Kneisel et al., Single Crystal Workshop Presented by Grigory Eremeev
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
More tricks? Next speaker will talk more about studies related to high-field limitation of RF cavities. Presented by Grigory Eremeev
