THPB018	Towards the Perfect Meissner State: A Magneto-Optical Study on Competing Pinning Centers in Niobium	766
	J.M. Köszegi, J. Knobloch, O. Kugeler HZB, Berlin, Germany
	Over the past years trapped magnetic flux has emerged as a main limiting factor of high quality factors in SRF cavities. Several studies investigated how the ambient magnetic field can be minimized or how the flux expulsion during the phase transition can be improved. We now present a study that targets the pinning centers which allow for the flux to remain inside the superconductor in the first place. Using magneto-optical imaging we were able to not only measure the amount of trapped flux but in addition we managed to image its distribution with a resolution below 10μm and correlate it with electron backscatter diffraction maps. As a result we found that the grain boundaries did not play a major role as pinning centers nor did the crystal orientation influence the amount of trapped flux signifi-cantly. Niobium hydrides which formed during the cool down to cryogenic temperatures however were found to enhance trapping.

THPB019	Simulation of the Thermoelectrically Generated Magnetic Field in a SC Nine-cell Cavity	771
	J.M. Köszegi, J. Knobloch, O. Kugeler HZB, Berlin, Germany
	Several studies showed that thermocurrents generate a magnetic field in a horizontal cavity test assembly or cryomodul, which may get trapped during the superconducting phase transition. The trapped flux causes additional dissipation during operation and can therefore significantly degrade the cavity's quality factor. We simulated the distribution of the generated magnetic field for different temperature distributions and compared the results to experimental findings. Furthermore, the impact of a growing superconducting area was investigated. The simulations complement the experimental studies because measurements were only feasible with a limited number of probes and restricted to selected locations and orientations. The simulations allow to analyze this data in the context of the whole system.

Over the past years trapped magnetic flux has emerged as a main limiting factor of high quality factors in SRF cavities. Several studies investigated how the ambient magnetic field can be minimized or how the flux expulsion during the phase transition can be improved. We now present a study that targets the pinning centers which allow for the flux to remain inside the superconductor in the first place. Using magneto-optical imaging we were able to not only measure the amount of trapped flux but in addition we managed to image its distribution with a resolution below 10μm and correlate it with electron backscatter diffraction maps. As a result we found that the grain boundaries did not play a major role as pinning centers nor did the crystal orientation influence the amount of trapped flux signifi-cantly.
