Improvement of Heat-Treated Niobium Surface by In-situ Plasma Treatment Applied to Superconducting RF Resonator
C. Boutelaa, S. Gruszka, C. Cheney +11
A specific heat treatment at 300 C, named medium-temperature baking (Mid-T baking) is applied to superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) accelerating cavities to improve the quality…
Study of Nb Surface Under Ultra High Vacuum After Heat Treatments For SRF Cavities
C. Boutelaa, C. Craig, R. Laxdal +4
Specific heat treatments applied to superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities, such as nitrogen infusion or Mid T baking, aim to improve the quality factor (Q0) at medium accel…
Insitu X Ray Photoemission Study of Nb Surface Under Plasma Cleaning During MID T BAKING For SRF Cavities
C. Boutelaa, S. Gruszka, C. Cheney +11

Radiation tolerance: Nano triumphs bulk
Parswajit Kalita, Santanu Ghosh, Gaëlle Gutierrez +4
Materials are subjected to energetic particles in a number of radiation environments,and are hence prone to undesirable (radiation) damage.We report here the superiority of the nan…
Enhanced radiation tolerance of YSZ at high temperature against swift heavy ions: key role of interplay between material microstructure and irradiation temperature
Parswajit Kalita, Santanu Ghosh, Udai B. Singh +6
Yttria stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) pellets with different crystallite sizes were irradiated with 80 MeV Ag ions at room temperature and 1000 K to understand the role of crysta…
