A closed cycle cryogenic system for testing superconducting RF cavities

  • 1. Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility, Newport News, VA (United States)

Description

Construction of particle accelerators with large numbers of superconducting RF cavities requires that adequate facilities be available to perform efficient cryogenic cavity testing. A closed cycle helium cryogenic system supplying multiple vertical test cryostats has been constructed at CEBAF. System design, instrumentation, and control features permit secure automated filling, cooldown to < 2 K, and fast warm-up. Description and operational characteristics of the system are presented
