Description

The JAERI tandem booster is under construction. The booster linac consists of 40 superconducting quarter wave resonators made of niobium and niobium-clad copper. We carried out off-line tests of 16 resonators and obtained electric field levels of about 6.5 MV/m at an rf input of 4 W. Maximum field levels of some resonators exceeded 10 MV/m. We found that Q-degradation occurred when resonators were cooled slowly at a temperature of about 120 K. (orig.)
