Study of the Superconducting Medium Beta Cavity of the European Spallation Source
The thesis explains the design, fabrication, vertical test, higher order mode (HOM) and field emission study of the ESS superconducting medium beta (MB) cavity. The ESS MB cavity is a 6-cell elliptical cavity. The main criteria for a multicell elliptical cavity design are explained. The multicell elliptical cavity fabrication process is discussed. The vertical test results of the MB cavity are exp
