Abstract

Highly efficient superconducting radio-frequency cavities exhibit low heat loss and are used as components in accelerators and superconducting devices due to their high $Q$-values. The precise location of magnetic flux trapping in cavities is necessary to identify its effects on the performance of superconducting cavities. In this study, we report a new combined mapping system to measure the temperature and magnetic field on the equator. The proposed system comprehensively maps local magnetic field changes as magnetic flux trapping due to quenching. Our experimental results show that magnetic flux trapping due to quenching increases the local surface resistance of superconducting cavities at 2 K. Thus, the proposed system elucidates the relationship between local flux trapping due to quenching and surface resistance in superconducting cavities and highlights the effect of quenching on the surface resistance. This system can aid in the development of superconducting cavities with higher $Q$ values.
