Performance Enhancement of Medium-Temperature Baked Niobium SRF Cavity by Surface Contamination Removal
V. Chouhan, D. Bice, A. Cravatta +5
Medium temperature (mid-T) baking, typically conducted at 300 350 C, enhances the quality factor of niobium (Nb) superconducting radio frequency cavities. High vacuum furnace bakin…
Latest Development of Electropolishing Optimization for 650 MHz Niobium Cavity
V. Chouhan, D. Bice, D. Burk +15
Electropolishing (EP) of 1.3 GHz niobium superconducting RF cavities is conducted to achieve a desired smooth and contaminant-free surface that yields good RF performance. Achievin…
Visual, Optical and Replica Inspections: Surface Preparation of 650 MHz NB Cavity for PIP-II Linac
V. Chouhan, D. Bice, D. Burk +2
Surface preparation of niobium superconducting RF cavities is a critical step for achieving good RF performance under the superconducting state. Surface defect, roughness, and cont…
The Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of LB650 Cavities
J. Holzbauer, G. Wu, H. Park +13
The PIP-II project's LB650 cavities could potentially be vulnerable to mechanical deformation because of the geometric shape of the cavity due to reduced beta. The mechanical prope…
