Abstract
The method for determining a quality factor of an accelerating superconducting cavity of a particle accelerator, in particular a linear particle accelerator, the method includes determining a heat load to which a cryomodule having the accelerating cavity and a bath of cryogenic fluid is subjected, then determining a quality factor based on the determination of the heat load during the operation of the particle accelerator.
Claims19
A method for determining a quality factor of an accelerating superconducting cavity of a particle accelerator, the method comprising:
- determining a heat load to which a cryomodule having the accelerating cavity and a bath of cryogenic fluid is subjected;
- and
- determining a quality factor based on the determination of the heat load while the particle accelerator is being used to accelerate particles,
- wherein the determining the heat load comprises the use of a state observer based on a thermodynamic and thermohydraulic model of the cryomodule.
