BCS, M-B and extension 
 Each Cooper pair was assumed to have zero net momentum. By minimizing 
5 
the free energy one get a single particle distribution function f and Density of 
State (DoS), represented by h. 
 Considering that a single particle scattering from one energy state to 
another one, by considering the energy of each state (with one photon added 
to either the initial state or the final state.), the probability of initial state and 
the possibility of scattering, a scattering form was calculated using f and h. 
 This scattering form was then applied to the anomalous skin effect to get the 
surface impedance. 
 We assume that all Cooper pairs move with the same velocity Vs, and apply 
this assumption to BCS theory to get new f and h.* 
 These new f and h are applied to get a new scattering form, thus a new 
surface impedance. 
 We average these effects over both RF cycle and depth into the surface to get 
the effective surface resistances (Rs) under different fields.**

 A mean (phonon) field theory, same as BCS theory, differs from 
Eliashberg. 
 Consider single photon absorption only, same as M-B theory, differs 
from de Visser*. 
 Dealing with moving Cooper pairs, same as Bardeen**. 
 The way to deal with mean free path, same as M-B theory. 
 Calculates the “ideal” case, which means the best performance a 
cavity can achieve. 
 A cavity with short mean free path is not necessary to be a “non-ideal” 
cavity. 
 No extra parameters needed except those in M-B theory + residual 
 How good it can explain experimental results?

Cooper pair with zero momentum 
Two particles can be attractive to each other with 
electron-phonon interaction, if they have: 
• momentums in opposite direction 
• same energy state k (one ↑ the other ↓) 
• k in a shell nearby Fermi level kF, with its 
thickness determined by Debye energy 
Consequence of attraction: 
• Bonded particles become Bosons and get 
condensed 
• Excited particles obey Fermi-Dirac distribution 
• A “forbidden zone” appears nearby kF, with its 
thickness to be 2휟 (energy gap) 
• Energy of excited particle (hole below kF and 
electron above kF) changes from|εk|=|1/2mvk

Cooper pair with a net momentum 
“States with a net current

taking a pairing (k1↑, k2↓) 
with k1+k2 =2q, and 2q the 
same for all virtual pairs” 
– quoted from BCS theory

Final expression 
• The final expression is a quadruple integration, besides the 
integrations in energy and in reciprocal space shown in M-B 
theory, the extension has two additional integrations in angles, 
related to k and k’. 
• The averaging over both RF cycle and depth into the surface 
requires two additional integrations. 
• A MathematicaTM script was developed to calculate the Rs vs Bpk. 
It is slow, but it works. 
• No parameter fittings can be done using current script due to the 
slow calculation speed.

Calculation result and explanation (2) 
In M-B theory, mathematically, the scattering between 
any two k and k’ with photon interaction equals to the 
scattering between E and E+ħ흎. 
With moving Cooper pairs, mathematically, the 
scattering between any two k and k’ with photon 
interaction equals to the scattering between E+εext and 
E+ε’ext+ ħ흎.

Rs decreasing? 
• Source: angle between 푽푭 (any direction) and 푽풔 cause 
energy split with angle dependence. 
• Consequence: Energy split and modified single 
particle distribution function cause an overall 
reduction effect in scattering.

About the inconsistency at 
the beginning, there are 
several possibilities: 
1, The choose of 
parameters 
2, Measurement errors 
3, Cavity performance 
could be further improved 
4, Some facts that are not 
considered in this model: 
phonon distribution, 
multiple photo absorption, 
additional non-linear 
effects, etc. 
We actually predicted the 
behavior at low temperatures

Summary 
18 
 Previous surface impedance calculations are available only for the 
low field limit. 
 A field-dependent derivation of the Mattis-Bardeen theory of SRF 
surface impedance has been developed. 
 The extended range of gradients is treated for the first time. 
 Without any extra parameters except those from original M-B theory, 
field-dependent Rs agreement with experiment with recent heat-treated/ 
Nb-doping Nb with unusual surface loading is excellent at 
different temperatures, with residual resistance to be constant. 
 The reduction in resistance with increasing field is seen to be an 
intrinsic effect. 
 For type-I, and type-II under Hc1. 
 What is going to happen between Hc1 and Hc2?

  • 5. BCS, M-B and extension  Each Cooper pair was assumed to have zero net momentum. By minimizing 5 the free energy one get a single particle distribution function f and Density of State (DoS), represented by h.  Considering that a single particle scattering from one energy state to another one, by considering the energy of each state (with one photon added to either the initial state or the final state.), the probability of initial state and the possibility of scattering, a scattering form was calculated using f and h.  This scattering form was then applied to the anomalous skin effect to get the surface impedance.  We assume that all Cooper pairs move with the same velocity Vs, and apply this assumption to BCS theory to get new f and h.*  These new f and h are applied to get a new scattering form, thus a new surface impedance.  We average these effects over both RF cycle and depth into the surface to get the effective surface resistances (Rs) under different fields.** *J.

  • 12. Final expression • The final expression is a quadruple integration, besides the integrations in energy and in reciprocal space shown in M-B theory, the extension has two additional integrations in angles, related to k and k’. • The averaging over both RF cycle and depth into the surface requires two additional integrations. • A MathematicaTM script was developed to calculate the Rs vs Bpk. It is slow, but it works. • No parameter fittings can be done using current script due to the slow calculation speed. 12

  • 18. Summary 18  Previous surface impedance calculations are available only for the low field limit.  A field-dependent derivation of the Mattis-Bardeen theory of SRF surface impedance has been developed.  The extended range of gradients is treated for the first time.  Without any extra parameters except those from original M-B theory, field-dependent Rs agreement with experiment with recent heat-treated/ Nb-doping Nb with unusual surface loading is excellent at different temperatures, with residual resistance to be constant.  The reduction in resistance with increasing field is seen to be an intrinsic effect.  For type-I, and type-II under Hc1.  What is going to happen between Hc1 and Hc2?
