Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have worked on the development of superconducting focusing mirrors, which are a limiting factor in precise measurements of cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. The development of a polarized measurement system and a superconducting mirror made of Nb3Sn were carried out in parallel. The polarization measurement system measured the polarization strength for aluminum, iron, and stainless steel mirrors, and conducted a cooling test using a Nb plate below the superconducting transition temperature. For the development of the Nb3Sn superconducting mirror, we optimized the formation of the Nb3Sn plate by the bronze method using a niobium/bronze cladding material. Finally, we developed the basic technology for producing NB3Sn plates with a three-layer structure of Nb/bronze/oxygen-free copper in anticipation of actual production.
