BMBF funded projects
Performance improvement of SRF cavities by surface treatment including mechanical polishing and nitrogen thermal treatment
The findings from this research project will increase the usable accelerating gradient and efficiency of the superconducting niobium cavities for existing and new accelerators and especially for the ILC.
Funding body: BMBF
Project leader: Prof. Dr. Brian Foster
Project duration: 6.2015 - 6.2018
Supraleitende Hochfrequenz-Kavitäten für den ILC und andere zukünftige Beschleuniger
The aim of this project is to understand and characterise the properties of superconducting radio-frequency accelerating cavities by exploiting the large sample of such cavities currently being manufactured for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser facility (EXFEL) at DESY and to investigate alternative and possibly cheaper and more efficient methods of cavity surface treatment.
