This work aims to optimize the functional properties of coatings used in CERN accelerators. In order to optimize the technology for the production of superconducting Nb and amorphous carbon coatings, different density coatings will be investigated using X-ray reflectometry. In order to optimize the secondary electron emission in accelerators amorphous carbon coatings suppressing the emission will be studied, the hypothesis that the low secondary electron emission factor of these coatings is related to the formation of additional energy states at the edge of the band tail will be tested.
Project funding:
Lithuanian Academy of Sciences
Project results:
The studies will quantify the values of coefficient of secondary electron emission for the amorphous carbon of the various technologies, the recommendations for technologies of amorphous carbon coatings and niobium coatings will be formulated.
Period of project implementation: 2018-06-11 - 2018-12-31
Project coordinator: Kaunas University of Technology
