Thickness effect on superconducting properties of niobium films for radio-frequency cavity applications
/ Bianchi, Antonio (INFN, Milan) ; Bonura, Marco (U. Geneva (main)) ; Carlos, Carlota P.A. (U. Geneva (main) ; CERN) ; Leith, Stewart (CERN) ; Rosaz, Guillaume (CERN) ; Senatore, Carmine (U. Geneva (main)) ; Venturini Delsolaro, Walter (CERN)
Niobium-coated copper radio-frequency cavities are cost-effective alternatives to bulk niobium cavities, given the lower material costs of copper substrates and their operation in liquid helium at around 4.2 K. However, these cavities historically exhibited a gradual degradation in performance with the accelerating field. [...]

X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy to Investigate Precipitated Oxides in Nb3Sn Wires With an Internal Oxygen Source
/ Bovone, G (Geneva U.) ; Buta, F (Geneva U.) ; Lonardo, F (Geneva U.) ; Bonura, M (Geneva U.) ; Borca, C N (PSI, Villigen) ; Huthwelker, T (PSI, Villigen) ; Hopkins, S C (CERN) ; Ballarino, A (CERN) ; Boutboul, T (CERN) ; Senatore, C (Geneva U.)
Internal oxidation can achieve significantly enhanced Jcin Nb3Sn wires, but the mechanism of oxygen transport and oxide precipitation is not fully understood. Our investigation employs X-ray Absorption Near-Edge Structure (XANES) spectroscopy, revealing insights into the oxidation of Zr and its interaction with oxygen in different areas of the wire cross section.

Influence of the Heat Treatment on the Layer JC of Internal-Sn Nb3Sn Wires With Internally Oxidized Nanoparticles
/ Lonardo, F (Geneva U.) ; Bovone, G (Geneva U.) ; Buta, F (Geneva U.) ; Bonura, M (Geneva U.) ; Bagni, T (Geneva U. ; Uppsala U.) ; Medina-Clavijo, B (CERN) ; Ballarino, A (CERN) ; Hopkins, S C (CERN) ; Boutboul, T (CERN) ; Senatore, C (Geneva U.)
We evaluated various heat treatments (HT) for maximizing the Nb3Sn layer thickness while retaining a refined grain microstructure in low filament count internal-Sn Nb3Sn Rod-In-Tube wires with internally oxidized nanoparticles. These wires were manufactured in our laboratory using SnO2as oxygen source and Nb alloys containing Ta and Zr or Hf. [...]

Damage experiment with superconducting sample coils - experimental setup and observations during beam impact

The damage mechanisms and limits of superconducting accelerator magnets caused by the impact of high-intensity particle beams have been the subject of extensive studies at CERN in the recent years. Recently, an experiment with dedicated racetrack coils made of Nb-Ti and Nb$_3$Sn strands was performed in CERN’s HiRadMat facility. [...]

Effects of the oxygen source configuration on the superconducting properties of internally-oxidized internal-Sn Nb$_{3}$Sn wires
/ Bovone, G (Geneva U.) ; Buta, F (Geneva U.) ; Lonardo, F (Geneva U.) ; Bagni, T (Geneva U.) ; Bonura, M (Geneva U.) ; LeBoeuf, D (LNCMI, Grenoble) ; Hopkins, S C (CERN) ; Boutboul, T (CERN) ; Ballarino, A (CERN) ; Senatore, C (Geneva U.)
We successfully manufactured 12-filament rod-in-tube Nb$_{3}$Sn wires with oxide nanoparticles formed by the internal oxidation method. We employed Nb-7.5 wt%Ta-1 wt%Zr and Nb-7.5 wt%Ta-2 wt% Hf alloys along with oxygen sources (OSs) in two different configurations—in the core of Nb filaments (coreOS) and at the boundary between the filaments and the Cu tube (annularOS)—to assess the influence of the OS layout on the superconducting properties and grain size.

Very high upper critical fields and enhanced critical current densities in Nb$_3$Sn superconductors based on Nb–Ta–Zr alloys and internal oxidation
/ Buta, F (U. Geneva (main)) ; Bonura, M (U. Geneva (main)) ; Matera, D (U. Geneva (main)) ; Bovone, G (U. Geneva (main)) ; Ballarino, A (CERN) ; Hopkins, S C (CERN) ; Bordini, B (CERN) ; Chaud, X (Natl. High Mag. Field Lab.) ; Senatore, C (U. Geneva (main))
The inhibition of Nb$_3$Sn grain growth in the presence of ZrO$_2$ nanoparticles appears to be one of
the most promising method for pushing the critical current densities of Nb$_3$Sn superconducting
wires to levels that meet the requirements set for the Future Circular Collider. We have investigated
the effect of ZrO$_2$ nanoparticles formed by the internal oxidation of Zr on the superconducting
properties and microstructure of Nb3Sn formed from Nb-1 wt%Zr, Nb-7.5 wt%Ta,
Nb-7.5 wt%Ta-1 wt%Zr and Nb-7.5 wt%Ta-2 wt%Zr alloys. [...]

Impact of 440 GeV Proton beams on Superconductors in a Cryogenic Environment
/ Will, A (CERN ; KIT, Karlsruhe, IPE) ; Bernhard, A (KIT, Karlsruhe, IPE) ; Bonura, M (Geneva U.) ; Bordini, B (CERN) ; Mentink, M (CERN) ; Mueller, A S (KIT, Karlsruhe, IPE) ; Oslandsbotn, A (CERN) ; Schmidt, R (CERN) ; Schubert, J (CERN) ; Senatore, C (CERN ; Geneva U.) et al.
The superconducting magnets used in high energy particle accelerators such as CERN’s LHC can be impacted by the circulating beam in case of specific failures. This leads to interaction of the beam particles with the magnet components, like the superconducting coils, through direct beam impact or via secondary particle showers. [...]
