Title A simple variable coupler for the cryogenic test of SRF cavities
Abstract The cryogenic rf tests of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities in vertical cryostats is typically carried out using fixed-length antennae to couple rf pow-er into the cavity and to probe the energy stored into the cavity. Although variable couplers have been designed, built and used in the past, they are often a complex, cost-ly, not very reliable auxiliary component to the cavity test. In this contribution, we present the design and im-plementation of a simple variable rf antenna which has ~50 mm travel, allowing to obtain about four orders of magnitude variation in Qext-value. The motion of the antenna is driven by a motorized linear feedthrough out-side of the cryostat. The antenna can easily be mounted on the most common type of cavity flangesv
