Abstract

A precision method for measuring of ultrahigh unloaded Q factors of superconducting cavities is proposed which is based on the excitation of oscillation in the cavity by electron beam. In this measuring, the cavity is not connected to any external microwave circuit; its unloaded Q factor is determined from the loss of electron-beam power, which can be measured with high accuracy.
