The SRF conduction link project at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory aims to develop an SRF particle accelerator design that is more applicable for industrial use. Collaboration between NIU college of engineering and NIU department of physics provided the bulk of design and analysis for this project. Currently, cooling systems, used in SRF particle accelerators, pump liquid helium across the SRF cavity to provide convection based cooling. The goal of this project is to incorporate a conduction based cooling system. In a conduction based cooling system, heat will flow from the SRF cavity into a cryocooler through a conduction link. In …
