摘要:
为了大幅度提高纯铌超导腔的品质因数,从而降低其使用功耗,选择对超导腔进行高温氮掺杂处理。立足国内外大型加速器的需求,中国科学院高能物理研究所首先开展了1.3 GHz 1-cell超导腔的研究,包括常规处理以及氮掺杂实验,并且对掺杂前后的结果进行了分析、对比。结果表明,通过掺氮,两只1.3 GHz 1-cell细晶粒纯铌超导腔的品质因数均获得了显著提升,同时在超导腔低温垂直测试中观察到了比较明显的反常的品质因数随加速梯度变化的曲线,即“anti-Q-slope”现象。
Abstract:In order to greatly improve the quality factor (Q) of a Nb superconducting cavity and reduce its power loss, we performed high-temperature nitrogen doping (N-doping) on the superconducting cavity, which is the most widely used method in the world. Based on the needs of large-scale accelerators at home and abroad, the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, carried out researches on 1.3 GHz 1-cell superconducting cavities, including standard post-processing and N-doping. After data analysis and comparison, it can be found that the Q values of two 1.3 GHz 1-cell fine-grain superconducting cavities have been significantly improved. At the same time, the abnormal behavior of Q value depending on acceleration gradient (Eacc) was observed in low-temperature vertical test, which is called the "anti-Q-slope" phenomenon.
