Abstract
An novel rotating temperature and radiation mapping system in He II has been developed to investigate field emission (FE) & thermal breakdown (TB) in TESLA 9-cell SRF cavities. More than 10,000 spots on a cavity surface can be analyzed in one turn with 5° stepping. 116 special surface scanning thermometers have been developed to measure surface temperature in He II. 32 photodiodes are employed to study the X-rays induced by FE electrons. Each rotating arm holds 14 thermometers and 4 photodiodes. A unique driving and suspension system is designed to gently turn the 9 arms around the cavity and uniformly press the thermometers against cavity surfaces. A moving adapter device (pancakes) is designed for rotating a large number of electronic cables which become inflexible in superfluid He.The T-R mapping system has successfully detected and diagnozed serious problems caused by FE and TB, and has played a significant role in cavity processing.KeywordsField EmissionHeat Flux DensityCavity SurfaceCritical Heat FluxField Emission ElectronThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
