Superconducting Radiofrequency Technology for Accelerators State of the Art and Emerging Trends

Single source reference enabling readers to understand and master state-of-the-art accelerator technology
Superconducting Radiofrequency Technology for Acceleratorsprovides a quick yet thorough overview of the key technologies for current and future accelerators, including those projected to enable breakthrough developments in neutrino research and quantum computing.
The work is divided into three sections. The first part covers new techniques such as nitrogen doping, nitrogen infusion, oxide-free niobium, new surface treatments, and magnetic flux expulsion, complemented by discussions of the physics of the improvements stemming from diagnostic techniques and surface analysis as well as from theory. The second part reviews the on-going applications of RF superconductivity in already operational facilities and those under construction such as light sources, proton accelerators, neutron and neutrino sources, ion accelerators, and crab cavity facilities. The third part discusses planned accelerator projects such as the International Linear Collider, the Future Circular Collider, the Chinese Electron Positron Collider, and the Proton Improvement Plan-III facility at Fermilab.
