Superconducting cavity development at Fermilab recently reached a major milestone. Fermilab scientists and engineers shipped their first successfully completed and tested 3.9 GHz superconducting module to DESY on Friday, April 24. The module, which consisted of four superconducting cavities and associated infrastructure arrived safely on Tuesday, April 28. It will become part of the German […]
From Fermilab Today: Fermilab reaches milestone with successful cavity test
A successful test of a dressed 3.9 GHz superconducting radiofrequency cavity last week put Fermilab among an elite group that can produce cutting-edge, high-powered accelerator components. Fermilab employees need to test three more cavities before they can assemble a cryomodule for shipment to DESY for use in the laboratory’s free-electron laser accelerator. The collaboration with […]
