Liquid Nitrogen Cooling Considerations
•Suspension of cavities on struts provides low heat leak from cavity to vacuum vessel
•Beryllium window FEA thermal analysis will need to be performed with new parameters
•The cavity frequency will be shifted (approximately 600 kHz), therefore tuning system or RF power source modifications will be needed
•Insulators will need to be added to the RF couplers•Coaxial LN feedthrough tubes will be needed to insulate the connection outside of vacuum
