Rare earth elements like scandium and yttrium are doped into ingot niobium during the smelting processes. A series of experiments have been done since 2010. The preliminary testing results show that the magnetic properties of niobium materials have changed with different doping elements and proportions while the superconductive transition temperature does not change very much. This method may increase the superheating magnetic field of niobium so as to improve the performance of the niobium cavity, which is a key component of SRF accelerators. A Tesla-type single-cell cavity made of scandium-doped niobium is being fabricated.展开更多

A capacitive structure is chosen for the main coupler. Numerical investigation using CST Microwave Studio demonstrates the cold window part. The other nonstandard structures such as holding rods and antenna are also optimized. The coupler uses a 95% purity Al2O3 ceramic cold window. The VSWR （Vottage Standing Wave Ratio） is 1.02 at 1.3 GHz and the frequency bandwidth is 45 MHz with VSWR〈I.1. The electric field intensity is 8.5× 10-2 kV/mm around the window with 20 kW Continuous Wave （CW） transmitted power. The Qext is designed variable from 5× 10^8 to 1×10^7.展开更多

With the continuous development of technology, higher demands of material are raised. One of the key issues is that RRR （Residual Resistance Ratio） of the Nb material should be more than 300, which requires that the Nb ingot have even higher RRR. This article introduces the development and the experimental results of high purity niobium in OTIC in Ningxia （Ningxia Orient Tantalum Industry Co. Ltd.）, and the test results of the single cell TESLA （Tera Electron volt energy Superconducting Linear Accelerator） shaped cavity manufactured by Peking University using Nb material from OTIC.展开更多

After tuning, a flat field profile with a final π-mode frequency within 3 kHz of target frequency is achieved. The field flatness is measured by a bead-pull method, and the relative electric field is calculated from the frequency shift perturbed by the bead stepping along the axis of the cavity.展开更多

They will cause geometry errors and have impacts on the cavity performance. This paper systematically analyzes the impacts of mechanical errors on the RF performance of Peking University single spoke cavity. The various kinds of shape and size errors are considered, the influences on the resonation frequency and field flatness are studied by numerical simulation and the theoretical models are analyzed. The results show that the single spoke cavity is robust with respect to the mechanical tolerance. It also indicates the most essential factors for fabrication.展开更多
