In addition, these systems offer robust, non-expert, turn-key operation, making SRF technology significantly more accessible for smaller-scale applications in fields such as industry, national security, medicine, environmental sustainability, etc. To fully realize these systems, many technical and operational challenges must be overcome. These include properly cooling the SRF cavity via thermal conduction and designing high-power (~ 100 kW continuous) RF couplers which dissipate minimal heat (~ 1 W) at 4.2 K. This presentation will discuss these challenges and the solutions which have been developed at Cornell University and elsewhere.
