Outline
• Two major discoveries at Fermilab
– Nitrogen doping to lower the BCS surface resistance
• Lower than the previously perceived “theoretical limit”
• Example at 16 MV/m: Q >3x1010 by doping vs. Q~1.5x1010 with the
standard ILC/XFEL cavity processing
• Also lowers residual
– Effective magnetic flux expulsion by fast/high thermal gradient
cooldown to achieve record low residual resistances
• Example: Q = 2.7x1011 in 27 mG ambient field
• Immediate implications
– LCLS-II
• Future perspectives

• First breakthrough at Fermilab: Nitrogen doping can
drastically lower “fundamental” BCS losses in cavity walls
and increase Q several times

Anti-Q-slope emerges from the BCS surface resistance decreasing with field
This is what Mattis-Bardeen theory predicted to be the lowest possible surface resistance for Nb -> we breached it!

Nanostructural studies provide first clues
2 Sep 2014 11
• Hydrides may be the cause of the medium and high field Q slopes [see A. Romanenko, F. Barkov, L. D. Cooley, A. Grassellino, 2013 Supercond. Sci. Technol. 26 035003]
• Nitrogen doping may fully trap hydrogen => only intrinsic Nb behavior is then manifested?

Some possible mechanisms for intrinsic Nb behavior leading to
increasing Q with field
• Momentum of Cooper pairs changes the DoS
– B. P. Xiao et al, Physica C 490 (2013) 26-31
• Quasiparticle energy distribution deviates from thermal
equilibrium
– P. J. de Visser et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 047004 (2014)
• Time-dependent DoS

• Second breakthrough at Fermilab: cooldown rate and thermal
gradients around Tc drastically affect the Meissner effect and
can be used to achieve ultra-low residual resistances even in
high ambient fields

Efficient flux expulsion
Poor flux expulsion
It turns out the expulsion efficiency can be controlled by the cooldown procedure through Tc=9.2K (fast/slow, uniform or not)
Same Meissner behavior for EP, EP+120C, N doping, fine/single grain, cooling is what matters

Possible mechanism #1
• Thermal gradient at the superconducting/normal conducting
boundary is aiding the flux expulsion => the higher dT/dx the
better (fast and from higher temperature preferred)
• See [J. Appl. Phys. 115, 184903 (2014)] for details

• See [J. Appl. Phys. 115, 184903 (2014)] for details

Fast Slow
For this mechanism uniformity is “bad” -> leads to islands

Optimal cooling conditions produce record high Qs even when
ambient fields are large
Q=2.7e11 in 23mG!
2 Sep 2014 Alexander Romanenko | LINAC'2014
Also means that magnetic shielding requirements may be relaxed
![Page 23: Breakthrough Technology for Very High Quality Factors in ... · L. D. Cooley, A. Grassellino, 2013 Supercond. Sci. Technol. 26 035003] • Nitrogen doping may fully trap hydrogen](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070922/5fba2ede9d5da9027064a732/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Implications
• CW operation becomes possible for short-pulse machines
• LCLS-II at SLAC
– Adopted N doping as a baseline
• 2x higher Q leads to a factor of 2 decrease in required refrigeration => 1
cryoplant less = savings of ~50-100M$ in capital costs + 10s of M$ in
operational costs
• PIP-II at FNAL
– Increase of duty factor from 5% to 30% desired by Mu2e becomes
possible with doubling the Q
• Q can be preserved/improved and the magnetic shielding requirements
relaxed if the optimal cooling is mastered in the cryomodule
– Looks straightforward, no show stoppers here
• High gradient/high Q becomes possible => future e+e- machines at
drastically reduced costs

Impact of Increasing Q on optimal Gradient
• ILC requirements: Eacc > 35 MV/m/ Q0 > 8x109
• Improving Q0 from 8x109 to 3x1010 has a big impact on machine
cost
• Optimal gradient moves to ~ (70 - 80) MV/m

Conclusions
• We have two new breakthroughs increasing the Q
– Nitrogen doping
• Doped cavities become even more efficient at higher fields
– Efficient flux expulsion
• Opens up the route to minimize the residual resistance even in
poorly shielded realistic environment
– May allow to relax the specs on magnetic shielding
• Exciting time in SRF
– We will follow the science of these discoveries further and see
where it leads us
