Where, f is the frequency, μ is the permeability and σ is conductivity <strong>of</strong> theconductor.In fact, after only a few penetration depths, in conductor internal body the RFcurrent becomes negligible. The surface resistance <strong>of</strong> a conductor isπfμR n S= 1 =(1.2)δσ σIt is obvious that the penetration depth will increase and the surface resistancewill decrease when the frequency decreases. At GHz range, only a few microns <strong>of</strong> thecopper surface gives a contribution to the RF current, while the rest major part servedas substrate.The RF losses <strong>of</strong> the accelerator cavity, in the absence <strong>of</strong> vortices, are mainlydetermined by the RF surface resistance (R S ), which is usually represented as asummation <strong>of</strong> the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) surface resistance R BCS and aresidual resistance term (R res ) as shown in Eq.1.3. R res is usually on the order <strong>of</strong> a fewnΩ. Provided that the surface is clean and properly manufactured, R S is usuallydominated by R BCS .R = R + R = R + R(1.3)SWhere,phR phresBCSresis the phonons resistance. The phonons resistance comes from thecrystal lattice and is same with the BCS resistance. Among the factors that define theR res , there are extrinsic causes e.g. trapped magnetic flux, can be avoided. Othercauses are intrinsic and due to the structural imperfections <strong>of</strong> the material. Likeinhomogeneities, impurities, grain boundaries or surface serrations. Materials with alarge coherent length will be insensitive to large defects without an appreciableincrease <strong>of</strong> the R res . This is quite desirable for applications <strong>of</strong> the superconductorcavity, since the superconducting surfaces are exposed to RF field, and are difficult toprepare completely 'defect-free'. Therefore it is important to minimize the residualsurface resistance. The R BCS can be defined as:RBCSBTc−TA= σnω3λ 2 e(1.4)TWhere, A and B are two constants weakly depend on material, ω is the RFangular frequency, σ n is the normal state conductivity <strong>of</strong> the material,λ is theeffective penetration depth, and T c is the critical temperature.Because the surface resistance <strong>of</strong> superconductor in the RF field is non-zero, atiny RF loss can heat the superconductor surface. So the more cryogenic power is6
