SRF Fixture Design and HOM analysis

A particle accelerator can either be a normal conducting or a superconducting accelerator. While a superconducting accelerator is a more energy efficient option, they traditionally use a liquid helium bath to achieve the temperatures needed for superconductivity. This makes superconducting accelerators operationally complex and expensive. To make superconducting accelerators a more commercially viable option IARC is working on a cryogen free accelerator which can be seen below.
