Funding: DOE Single-cell Nb3Sn cavities coated at Cornell University have demonstrated quality factors of 1010 at 16 MV/m and 4.2 K in vertical tests, achieving the performance requirements of contemporary modern accelerator designs. In this paper, we present results demonstrating the impact of the cooldown procedure and ambient magnetic fields on the cavity's ability to achieve these quality factors and accelerating gradients. The impact of the magnetic fields from thermoelectric currents, generated by thermal gradients across the cavity during cooldown, are shown to be equivalent to the impact of magnetic fields trapped from ambient sources. Furthermore, the increase in the residual surface resistance due to trapped magnetic flux, from both ambient sources and thermoelectric currents, is found to be a function of the applied RF magnetic field amplitude. A hypothesis for this observation is given, and conclusions are drawn regarding the demands on the cooldown procedure and ambient magnetic fields necessary to achieve quality factors of 1010 at 4.2 K and 16 MV/m or higher. |
