Jefferson Lab developed the next generation of SRF accelerator technology based on the new material niobium-tin (Nb3Sn). After decades of work, the first prototype niobium-tin cyromodule with two CEBAF-style SRF Nb3Sn cavities completed its qualification test in the Cyromodule Testing Facility (CMTF) at Jefferson lab.

 

The once-in-half-a-century milestone represents the beginning of a new era of SRF technology for particle accelerators and potentially many other scientific instruments.
