Designed a high-performance double-spoke superconducting cavity.

The research team implemented comprehensive electromagnetic and mechanical optimizations on the double-spoke superconducting cavity, achieving three key improvements: reduction of peak electric field during normal operation, suppression of multipacting effects, and enhanced manufacturability. A dedicated Buffered Chemical Polishing tooling system was developed for double-spoke superconducting cavities with complex structures, ensuring uniform acid etching and achieving high Q-values (Q > 3.4×10¹⁰ @ Eₐ cc = 9 MV/m).

Developed a high-performance cryomodule

The double-spoke cavity cryomodule employs carbon fiber tie rods to suspend the superconducting cavities within the cryostat, effectively reducing heat leakage while allowing convenient positional adjustment of the cavity in cryogenic environments.

Development of the Cooling Procedure for Superconducting Cavity Cryogenic System

Based on the significant correlation between cooling rate and Q-value observed during vertical testing of double-spoke superconducting cavities, an optimized cryogenic cooling protocol was developed with precisely controlled cooling rates, to maximize Q-value preservation.
