Q-factor optimization for high-beta 650 MHz cavities for PIP-II
M. Martinello, D. J. Bice, C. Boffo +8
High Q-factors are of utmost importance to minimize losses of superconducting radio-frequency cavities deployed in continuous wave particle accelerators. This study elucidates the…
LCLS-II-HE verification cryomodule high gradient performance and quench behavior
S. Posen, A. Cravatta, M. Checchin +43
An 8-cavity, 1.3 GHz, LCLS-II-HE cryomodule was assembled and tested at Fermilab to verify performance before the start of production. Its cavities were processed with a novel nitr…
