Description

One of the significant sources of residual losses in superconducting radio-frequency cavities is magnetic flux trapped during the cool-down due to the incomplete Messier effect. If the trapped vortices are non-uniformly distributed on the cavity surface, the temperature mapping revealed the “hot-spots” at the location of high density of pinned vortices. In this contribution, we present the results of combined temperature and magnetic mapping measurements on a single cell 3.0 GHz and 1.3 GHz niobium single-cell cavities. The results show the direct evidence of pinned vortices induced “hot-spots”.
