Effect of condensed gases on SRF cavities A. Romanenko
Overview • Most of gas molecules will condense on the walls of the cavity at the operating temperatures (2-4.2 K) • Typical residual pressures at 2K - ~10-11Torr • Effect on performance • Increase in the residual resistance (lower the Q0) • Lower the work function and increase the secondary electron yield = enhance field emission and multipacting A.

P. Kneisel, Proc. of SRF’95 Field emission gets worse (lower onset) if present before condensing gases Noticeable field emission enhancement was found to be present only if P>= 10-4Torr A. Romanenko
Rough estimates based on Kneisel’s data Assuming all the gas molecules condense on the surface covering with the uniform layer: For 1.5 GHz single cells used by Kneisel: cavity volume V~ 2 x 10-3 m3 cavity surface S~8 x 10-2 m2 PV = NkT => N = PV/kT => surface density s = N/S = PV/(kTS) T = 300 K For field emission free cavities: P < 3 Torr => s < 2.2 x 1021 m-2 For “dirty” cavities: P < 10-4Torr => s < 7.3x1016m-2 – less than a monolayer A. Romanenko
Proposed experiments Cavities now have higher Q0, higher gradients, may be more sensitive • Use high Q0 single cell 1.3 GHz cavity (limited at ~40 MV/m by quench, no field emission and high field Q-slope) • Pump down at room temperature to predetermined pressures and seal the cavity off • Cool down to T = 2K • Initially - 4 cavity tests: lowest pressure baseline, P=10-5, TBD, TBD • 4 cool down cycles => 2 weeks of vertical test stand time • 1 week if test 2 cavities at once A.
