Innovative Measurement Tech for Superconducting Cavity Resonators

In the production of cavity resonators, the interior field distribution is measured in order to verify that quality and efficiency are being maintained.<br>

The newly developed technology is particularly suitable to be used in superconducting cavity resonators. In comparison to conventional methods, the new method is also suitable to be implemented at operating temperatures of up to 4K. For this reason the calibration is carried out under realistic operating conditions. Furthermore, the key characteristic is that measuring takes place over the entire length of the cavity resonator. Changes in the field are also identified during the cooling period….
