Liquid helium-free SRF cavities could make industrial applications practical

Copper/Niobium/NiobiumTin cavity connected to the cryocooler. The building blocks of superconducting accelerators are superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities made primarily from niobium that are combined in a vessel and bathed in liquid helium to reach superconducting temperatures. While a large liquid … Continue reading
