From DESY inForm: An idea takes shape: New production technique in view for niobium cavities

3 May 2007 In the development of superconducting cavities for the ILC, the machine planning group (MPL) lands another success. New prototypes manufactured from a so-called niobium single crystal plate yield excellent results. The advantage of single-crystal cavities compared with standard ones made of polycrystalline niobium lies in the atomic structure of the crystal lattice. Category: Around the World | Tagged: ,
