AD Seminar - Cryocooler conduction-cooled SRF cavities for compact particle accelerators

Fermilab recently demonstrated practical accelerating gradients (~10 MV/m cw) on a Nb₃Sn SRF cavity with cryocooler conduction-cooling, a novel technique that does not require conventional helium cryogenic systems. The successful integration of this cryocooling scheme with an SRF cavity is a stepping-stone for realizing compact SRF based e-beam sources for high-throughput industrial applications of electron irradiation. In parallel to this novel technology development, Fermilab has made rapid progress on the design and construction of high-power e-beam SRF accelerators for industrial applications. In this seminar, I will talk about Fermilab’s R&D of cryocooler conduction cooled SRF cavities and the progress on building an e-beam accelerator that is utilizing this technology. I will then present an overview of activities and applications being developed using the cryocooler conduction-cooled SRF technology at other research institutions and the private industry.
