Magnetic shielding is a key technology for superconducting RF cavities. The tolerance of the ambient magnetic field depends on factors such as the operating RF frequency and acceleration gradient, but it can be as small as a few mG. Some high-Ni-content alloys, such as Cryperm 10 or Cryophy, which are claimed to maintain high permeability at cryogenic temperatures where superconducting cavities are operated, are commercially available at present and are used for magnetic shielding of superconducting cavities at many laboratories. Permeability measurements were made in order to understand the characteristics of such materials at both room and cryogenic temperatures, and the results will be used as a database for designing magnetic shields. It was found that the catalog performance of such materials was not always reproduced in the measurements. Some degradation was observed which depended on how the material was handled. The results of investigation into possible causes for the performance degradation of the shielding material at cryogenic temperature will be presented, along with permeability measurement results for various materials at different temperatures.
