Cool and Dry: A Revolutionary Method for Cooling a Superconducting Accelerator Cavity at Fermilab
For the first time, a team at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (CSA CSM) has cooled and operated a superconducting radio-frequency cavity—a crucial component of superconducting particle accelerators using cryogenic refrigerators—with cryocoolers, breaking the tradition of cooling cavities by immersing them in a bath of liquid helium. It achieved an accelerating...
