Thermal design studies in superconducting rf cavities: Phonon peak and Kapitza conductance
Thermal design studies of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities involve two thermal parameters, namely the temperature dependent thermal conductivity of Nb at low temperatures and the heat transfer coefficient at the Nb-He II interface, commonly known as the Kapitza fifty fifty truckee conductance.During the fabrication process of the SRF
