| contents | A geometric model based on a spherical Fermi - surface and using the equivalent skin-layer model allows to calculate the surface resistance, which is relevant for the RF power losses in the cavity walls. An exact solution for this conduction electron model in skin layers was derived. It is compared with measurements and with predictions from the traditional diffusion model as formulated by Reuter, Sondheimer and Chambers. A focus is put on frequencies with relevance in ion linac acceleration. At frequencies up to the GHz - range the geometric model gives up to 15% higher resistance values - when the electron free path length is about five times longer then the classical skin depth. Though both model assumptions differ a lot, the results are close to each other. A 340 MHz test cavity was built from bulk copper. The quality - factor measurements were performed in a liquid helium cryostat during the warming up phase of the cavity.The cavity was at first measured after just polishing the bulk copper surface. In the next step this surface was copper-plated. After annealing for one hour at 400 deg Celsius, a corresponding RRR - value around 120 was reached. An ion linac with copper cavities operated at cryogenic temperatures around 40 deg Celsius is expected to allow attractive, compact future linac designs. Simulations on heat conduction in pulsed operation give promising results. |
