Superconducting Radio-Frequency Systems for High-ß Particle Accelerators
Abstract
This article addresses the physics and engineering of the superconducting radio-frequency systems for high-ß particle accelerators. I consider different geometries for cavities, discuss criteria for optimization, and options for higher-order mode damping. In reviewing recent progress in the field, SRF systems are classified according to the functions they perform. These systems are fundamental RF accelerating systems, deflecting/crab cavities, harmonic RF systems, and SRF photoemission electron guns.
