Losito CERN, Geneva E. Picasso SNS, Pisa PArametricCOnverter (1998-2000) PACO-2 conceptual layout Why spherical cavities? Highest e.m. geometrical factor ? highest e.m. quality factor for a given surface resistance (Q = G/Rs) For the TE011 mode of a sphere G ~ 850 W, For the TM010 mode of a standard elliptical accelerating cavity, G ~ 250 W Typical values of quality factor of accelerating cavities (TM modes) are in the range 1010 – 1011 The quality factor of the TE011 mode of a spherical cavity may well exceed 1011 The spherical cell can be easily deformed in order to remove the e.m. modes degeneracy and to induce the field polarization suitable for g.w. detection The interaction between the stored e.m. field and the time-varying boundary conditions depends both on how the boundary is deformed and on the spatial distribution of the fields inside the resonator The optimal field spatial distribution is with the field axis in the two cavities orthogonal to each other The sphere has the highest interaction cross-section with a g.w.
