Ram Dhuley - Cryocooler conduction cooled SRF cavities for compact particle accelerators

US/Central
Description

SRF based particle accelerators can be an energy-efficient source of electron irradiation for several high-throughput industrial and environmental applications. The current reliance of the SRF technology on complex liquid helium cryogenic systems, however, can be a barrier to its adoption in industrial settings. In this talk, I will introduce cryocooler conduction cooling – a technique that breaks free from liquid helium, leading to a dramatically simple SRF cryo-system. I will present Fermilab’s efforts for the development of conduction cooled SRF cavities and first experimental results. I will then briefly describe the ongoing designs at Fermilab for compact, conduction cooled SRF based electron accelerators.
