WEIOA03 | Nb Sputtered Quarter Wave Resonators for the HIE-ISOLDE | 767 |
|
||
The HIE-ISOLDE superconducting linac will be based on quarter wave resonators (QWRs), made by Niobium sputtering on Copper. The operating frequency at 4.5 K is 101.28 MHz and the required performance for the high beta cavity is 6 MV/m accelerating field for 10 W maximum power dissipation. These challenging specifications were recently met at CERN at the end of a vigorous development program. The paper reports on the progress of the cavity RF performance with the evolution of the sputtering process; it equally illustrates the parallel R&D which is ongoing at CERN and at INFN in the quest for even higher performances. | ||
