Achieving cavity resonance

DESY scientists fine-tune cavity frequencies

| 7 July 2011

Accelerator scientists have been busy creating and combining sine waves and nonlinear curves to form a straight, horizontal line – the flat top of a signal pulse of electric field-accelerating electrons. The flat, even profile signifies the untroubled transfer of power from source to electrons, one that occurs when a cavity is in tune with […]

Fermilab and KEK scientists recently hooked up a new cavity tuning system to the various cavities in the so-called cavity-tuner zoo at KEK. This zoo, comprising eight superconducting radiofrequency cavities fabricated by four different vendors from three different regions, was the testing ground for a new development in what is called Lorentz force detuning (LFD) […]
