Method of manufacturing superconducting accelerator cavity
View Patent ↗Provided is a method of manufacturing a superconducting accelerator cavity in which a plurality of half cells having opening portions (equator portions and iris portions) at both ends thereof in an axial direction are placed one after another in the axial direction, contact portions where the corresponding opening portions come into contact with each other are joined by welding, and thus, a superconducting accelerator cavity is manufactured, the half cells to be joined are arranged so that the axial direction thereof extends in a vertical direction; and concave portions that are concave towards an outer side are also formed at inner circumferential surfaces located below the contact portions of the half cells positioned at a bottom; and the contact portions are joined from outside by penetration welding.
1. A superconducting-accelerator-cavity manufacturing method in which a plurality of ring-shaped bodies having opening portions at both ends thereof in an axial direction are placed one after another in the axial direction, contact portions where corresponding opening portions come into contact with each other are joined by welding, and thus, a superconducting accelerator cavity is manufactured,
wherein the ring-shaped bodies to be joined are arranged so that the axial direction thereof extends in a vertical direction, and concave portions that are concave towards an outer side are formed at inner circumferential surfaces by forming a chamfer at an inner-circumferential-side end surface which is located below the contact portions of the ring-shaped bodies positioned at a bottom, and
wherein the contact portions are joined by penetration welding by irradiating the contact portions with beams from outside with all of the plurality of ring-shaped bodies being arranged so that the concave portions are arranged in a horizontal direction.
2. A superconducting-accelerator-cavity manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the concave portions are formed so that a depth thereof decreases toward a bottom side.
