  • Abstract
    A theoretical and practical investigation is given of superconducting helical resonators with quality factors greater than 108 which allow the determination of dielectric loss tangents in the frequency range of 0.1 to 5 GHz and below 15 K with high accuracy. The underlying measurement theory is an extension of perturbation theory. They are evaluated for the fields in a shielded multiple quarter-wave helical resonator with a cylindrical dielectric specimen inside the helix. Measurement results on optimized resonators made from superconducting Nb and Nb3Sn are reported as well as further applications.
