The superconducting accelerating cavities for the Tritron

  • 1. Technische Univ. Muenchen, Garching (Germany, F.R.). Fachbereich Physik

Description

The Tritron is a separated orbit cyclotron with superconducting magnets and rf-cavities. The six cavities operate at 170 MHz. They are designed to have a small field enhancement factor. The cavities are fabricated by electroplating copper onto fibreglass shells. The copper is electroplated with PbSn as superconductor. Test results for the first two cavities are given. The values for the accelerating voltage and the quality factor Q lie above the design values for the Tritron accelerator. The highest gap field reached was 10.6 MV/m. (orig.)
