Abstract:
In order to overcome dissipation due to impurity segregation at grain boundaries, niobium cavities are submitted to a purification annealing (1300 °C±200 °C under vacuum) during which titanium is evaporated onto the Nb surface. The resulting titanium layer acts as a solid state getter reacting with light impurities (H, C, N, O), thereby removing these impurities from the bulk of the niobium. Preferential titanium diffusion along grain boundaries have been studied using proton-induced x-ray emission.
