There is a need to understand the intrinsic limit of RF surface impedance that determines the performance of superconducting RF cavities in particle accelerators. Here we present a field-dependent derivation of Mattis-Bardeen theory of the RF surface impedance of BCS superconductors, based on the shifted density of states resulting from coherently moving Cooper pairs. Our theoretical prediction of the effective BCS RF surface resistance of niobium as a function of peak surface magnetic field amplitude agrees well with recently reported record low loss resonant cavity measurements from JLab and Fermi Lab with carefully prepared niobium material. The surprising reduction in resistance with increasing field is explained to be an intrinsic effect. |

MOP017 | SRF for Low Energy RHIC Electron Cooling: Preliminary Considerations | 126 |
|
||
Funding: Work is supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. DOE A search for the QCD Critical Point has renewed interest to electron cooling ion beams in RHIC at energies below 10 GeV/nucleon. The electron cooling will utilize bunched electron beams form an SRF linac at energies from 0.9 to 5 MeV. The SRF linac will consist of two quarter wave structures: a photoemission electron gun and a booster cavity. In this paper we present preliminary design consideration of this SRF linac. |

Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. A recent new analysis of field-dependent BCS RF surface impedance based on moving Cooper pairs has been presented.* Using this analysis coded in Mathematica™, survey calculations have been completed which examine the sensitivities of this surface impedance to variation of the BCS material parameters and temperature. The results present a refined description of the “best theoretical” performance available to potential applications with corresponding materials. * Xiao B.

TUP070 | Characterization of Superconducting Samples With SIC System for Thin Film Developments: Status and Recent Results. | 599 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by DOE. Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. Within any thin film development program directed towards SRF accelerating structures, there is a need for an RF characterization device that can provide information about RF properties of small samples. The current installation of the RF characterization device at Jefferson Lab is Surface Impedance Characterization (SIC) system. The data acquisition environment for the system has recently been improved to allow for automated quicker measurement, and the system has been routinely used for characterization of bulk Nb, films of Nb on Cu, MgB2, NbTiN, Nb3Sn films, etc. We present some of the recent results that illustrate present capabilities and limitations of the system. |

Funding: Research supported by EU FP7 HiLumi LHC – No. 284404, and by US DOE through Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 and the US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP). The crab cavity program for LHC luminosity upgrade envisages the testing of at least one of the three competing crab cavities in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) of CERN by 2016. This paper presents the design optimization of a Double Quarter Wave Crab Cavity (DQWCC) prototype suited for testing in SPS. |

THP044 | Compact Higher Order Mode Filter for Crab Cavities in the Large Hadron Collider | 1006 |

Funding: This work is supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with LARP and the U.S. DOE, and supported by EU FP7 HiLumi LHC - Grant Agreement 284404. A double quarter wave crab cavity was designed for the Large Hadron Collider luminosity upgrade. Starting from the analytical calculation of simplified RLC circuit, a compact higher order mode filter is developed for this cavity. Finite element simulation results are presented. The design concept is generic and can easily be adapted to other cavities. |
