Recent advances in low-beta superconducting RF technology have enabled the proposal and construction of ever-increasing-intensity ion accelerators, e.g. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University and Project-X at Fermilab. Superconducting TEM-class structures are required for these accelerators and beam quality preservation and cost efficiency are of the highest importance. This paper presents a comparison of the superconducting TEM-class cavities available for the acceleration of ions in the energy range of 16 to 55 MeV/u in order to guide their selection in future ion accelerator projects. | ||
