2. RF MEASUREMENT ON A SINGLE CAVITY 73<br />

Figure 5.4. The dispersi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> frequencies before <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

after two steps <strong>of</strong> machining <strong>on</strong> the rings for the accelerating<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> coupling half cavities in the tank #1. For the<br />

accelerating cavities the dispersi<strong>on</strong> around mean value is<br />

reduced to roughly 1.5 MHz (left), whereas for the coupling<br />

cavities is less than 1 MHz (right).<br />

quality factor is sufficiently high to give the requested precisi<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong><br />

frequency measurement.<br />

2.4. Shunt impedance measurement. Although several techniques<br />

can be c<strong>on</strong>ceived to permit the direct measurement <strong>of</strong> the shunt<br />

impedance, indirect methods are preferred. In fact, the ratio between<br />

shunt impedance <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> quality factor Rsh/Q do not depend <strong>on</strong> frequency<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> losses but <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong> geometrical factors. This fact implies that the<br />

measurement <strong>of</strong> Rsh/Q is more reliable than the direct measurement <strong>of</strong><br />

the shunt impedance. In fact, the cavity under test can be built with<br />

two half parts or with an half part rested <strong>on</strong> a c<strong>on</strong>ductor plane because<br />

the losses in the joints do not affect appreciably the distributi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> the<br />

fields <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> therefore, the measurement <strong>of</strong> Rsh/Q.<br />

Then, if the measurement <strong>of</strong> a single prototype with a low quality<br />

factor is performed, <strong>on</strong>e can use an electromagnetic simulator to
