Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Grigory Eremeev (Cornell University)

Title:     High Field Q-Slope Studies Using Thermometry

Abstract: The high field Q-slope is a degradation of the quality factor in niobium
cavities at high fields. The heat treatment of a niobium cavity between
100 C to 120 C for 48 hours reduces the high field Q-slope and
substantially improves the limiting field. This so-called mild baking
effect is caused by changing the oxide-metal interface, although the
mechanism of this change is not yet understood. I will report our studies
of the high field Q-slope and the mild baking effect, and discuss our
results within the current models for the high field Q-slope and the mild
baking effect.
