铌中过热场的温度依赖性

Temperature dependence of the superheating field in niobium

N. R. A. Valles, M. U. Liepe

摘要:

本文实验研究了铌的过热场Hsh与温度的关系。准确地确定这个场对于验证理论和理解粒子加速器超导腔中的梯度极限都是重要的。本文讨论了已提出的理论建模领域和它们之间的区别。用于测量Hsh的温度依赖性的实验过程利用高功率脉冲来驱动铌腔谐振器,使表面磁场非常迅速地斜升。通过测量作为时间函数的腔的品质因数,可以确定腔的任何部分在超导状态和正常导电状态之间转变的时刻。振荡超漏传感器被用来证明,过渡到正常的导电状态是全球性的,表明遇到了一个基本的限制。最后,我们看到,腔的110-120 C热处理-一种通常用于在高加速梯度下增加品质因数的方法-可能具有降低材料的过热场的有害影响,这是在超导铌腔中追求最大可实现加速梯度的基本限制因素。

英文摘要:

This study experimentally investigates the temperature dependence of superheating field, Hsh, of niobium. Accurately determining this field is important both to test theory and to understand gradient limits in superconducting cavities for particle accelerators. This paper discusses theories that have been proposed in modeling the field and discriminates between them. The experimental procedure for measuring the temperature dependence of Hsh utilizes high power pulses to drive a niobium cavity resonator, ramping up surface magnetic fields extremely quickly. The moment any part of the cavity transitions between the superconducting and normal conducting state can be determined by measuring the quality factor of the cavity as a function of time. Oscillating superleak transducers are used to demonstrate that the transition to the normal conducting state is global in nature, showing that a fundamental limit is encountered. Finally, we see that 110-120 C heat treatment of the cavity--a method commonly used to increase the quality factor at high accelerating gradients--may have the deleterious effect of reducing the superheating field of the material, which is the fundamental limiting factor in pursuing the maximal achievable accelerating gradient in superconducting niobium cavities.
