Description
When Nb₃Sn was reintroduced to the SRF community as an alternative to pure niobium, one key motivation has been to reduce the cryogenic requirements of new and existing accelerators by shifting from 2 K to 4 K operation. Meanwhile, a variety of implementations beyond research machines are being explored. The combination of Nb₃Sn with conventional cryocoolers, enabling cryogen-free operation, has paved the way for the development of compact, standalone systems suitable for applications far beyond research, such as enhancing the durability of synthetics via crosslinking or sterilizing food and medical equipment, as well as environmental cleanup when it comes to decontaminating liquid and solid waste material. So, while fundamental R&D continues to refine Nb₃Sn resonators, exploring improvements such as replacing the niobium substrate with copper, parallel research efforts are investigating how the increased beam power provided by SRF could expand the commercial use of electron beams. This presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of ongoing research efforts to harness the benefits of SRF through Nb3Sn and conduction cooling.
