Abstract

A superconducting reentrant niobium cavity has successfully accelerated a proton beam from a Van de Graaff accelerator. For injection energies of 1.56 and 2.75 MeV the single cavity produced the expected energy gains of 55 and 75 keV, respectively, operating at a frequency of 430 MHz, a Q of 109, a peak field of 9 MV/m, and a power input of approximately 1 W. Peak fields of 22 MV/m have been achieved.
