Systematic uncertainties in RF-based measurement of superconducting cavity quality factors

Q 0 determinations based on RF power measurements are subject to at least three potentially large systematic effects that have not been previously appreciated. Instrumental factors that can systematically bias RF based measurements of Q 0 are quantified and steps that can be taken to improve the det...

Q 0 determinations based on RF power measurements are subject to at least three potentially large systematic effects that have not been previously appreciated. Instrumental factors that can systematically bias RF based measurements of Q 0 are quantified and steps that can be taken to improve the determination of Q 0 are discussed. Ausführliche Beschreibung
