Where, f is the frequency, μ is the permeability and σ is conductivity of theconductor.In fact, after only a few penetration depths, in conductor internal body the RFcurrent becomes negligible. The surface resistance of 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 of thecopper surface gives a contribution to the RF current, while the rest major part servedas substrate.The RF losses of the accelerator cavity, in the absence of vortices, are mainlydetermined by the RF surface resistance (R S ), which is usually represented as asummation of 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 of 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 of the material. Likeinhomogeneities, impurities, grain boundaries or surface serrations. Materials with alarge coherent length will be insensitive to large defects without an appreciableincrease of the R res . This is quite desirable for applications of 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 of the material,λ is theeffective penetration depth, and T c is the critical temperature.Because the surface resistance of superconductor in the RF field is non-zero, atiny RF loss can heat the superconductor surface. So the more cryogenic power is6
needed for preventing the superconductivity ceasing as shown in Table 1.1 [7] . In Table1.1, Dynamic means to put the RF power into the superconductor cavity. At 2K, theratio of the installed power over heat load is about 1000, but at 8K, the ratio is about250. This means that the cryogenic power per unit of heat load at 2K is about fourtimes of that at 8K. This conclusion also can be obtained by the Carnot cycle:PPcoolsourceT − TT2 1≥ (1.5)1Where, T 2 is the room temperature, T 1 is the cryogenic temperature. BecauseT 2 >>T 1 , the ratio should be inverse proportion to T 1 .Table 1.1 RF unit cryogenic heat loads and installed AC cryogenic plant power to remove the heat.In order to decrease the cryogenic power, two parameters should be taken intoaccount. The first parameter is the surface resistance, and the second is the cryogenicoperation temperature. According to the Eq.(1.3), we should decrease R res and R BCS .To decrease R res , we should increase the residual resistance radio (RRR).RRRR(300K)Rphonons= = +(1.6)res1RR(300K)resWhere, R phonons (300K) is a constant.According to the Eq.(1.4), to decrease R BCS , we should increase the criticaltemperature T c and decrease the cryogenic operation temperature T. However,according to the Eq.(1.5), to decrease the cryogenic power, we should increase thecryogenic operation temperature T. So, the best way is to increase T c .1.3 The necessary of Nb 3 Sn superconductor thin filmAmong the pure metal, Niobium have the highest T c , which is about 9.2K.However, in order to obtain the better performances, such as Q value, acceleratinggradients, thermal stability, and so on, the Nb cavity should only operate at thetemperatures below 2.1 K, which is under the very expensive superfluid He bathcooling conditions. Fortunately, some of metal compounds have the Tc higher than7
