Recovered supernova Ia rate from simulated LSST images

Aims.TheVera C. RubinObservatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will revolutionize time-domain astronomy by detecting millions of different transients. In particular, it is expected to increase the number of known type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) by a factor of 100 compared to existing samples up to redshift ∼1.2. Such a high number of events will dramatically reduce statistical uncertainties in the analysis of the properties and rates of these objects. However, the impact of all other sources of uncertainty on the measurement of the SN Ia rate must still be evaluated. The comprehension and reduction of such uncertainties will be fundamental both for cosmology and stellar evolution studies, as measuring the SN Ia rate can put constraints on the evolutionary scenarios of different SN Ia progenitors. Methods.We used simulated data from the Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) Data Challenge 2 (DC2) and LSST Data Preview 0 to measure the SN Ia rate on a 15 deg 2 region of the “wide-fast-deep” area. We selected a sample of SN candidates detected in difference images, associated them to the host galaxy with a specially developed algorithm, and retrieved their photometric redshifts. We then tested different light-curve classification methods, with and without redshift priors (albeit ignoring contamination from other transients, as DC2 contains only SN Ia). We discuss how the distribution in redshift measured for the SN candidates changes according to the selected host galaxy and redshift estimate. Results.We measured the SN Ia rate, analyzing the impact of uncertainties due to photometric redshift, host-galaxy association and classification on the distribution in redshift of the starting sample. We find that we are missing 17% of the SN Ia, on average, with respect to the simulated sample. As 10% of the mismatch is due to the uncertainty on the photometric redshift alone (which also affects classification when used as a prior), we conclude that this parameter is the major source of uncertainty. We discuss possible reduction of the errors in the measurement of the SN Ia rate, including synergies with other surveys, which may help us to use the rate to discriminate different progenitor models.

Nb3Sn Superconducting Radiofrequency Cavity Fabricated by Sputter Deposition from a Stoichiometric Target

Nb$_3$Sn is a promising coating material for superconducting radiofrequency cavities in next-generation accelerators due to its higher superconducting transition temperature (~18.3 K) and superheating field (~400 mT), offering the potential to surpass the intrinsic performance limits of bulk niobium. We developed a sputter coating technique employing a stoichiometric target to fabricate Nb$_3$Sn films on the inner surfaces of niobium cavities. A Nb$_3$Sn tube target, prepared by growing a >20 m thick Nb$_3$Sn coating on the surface of a Nb tube via a Sn vapor diffusion process, was used in a DC cylindrical magnetron sputtering system. Approximately 170 nm thick Nb-Sn films were sputter-coated onto flat Nb substrates positioned to replicate the beam tube and equator regions of a 2.6 GHz cavity, followed by annealing at 950 °C for 3 hours to form Nb$_3$Sn. The composition, morphology, and structure of the annealed Nb$_3$Sn films were examined. Then, a ~1.2 m-thick film was sputter-coated onto the interior of a 2.6 GHz Nb cavity following the procedure developed for the flat samples. The cavity was subsequently annealed under the same conditions used for the flat samples. Cryogenic RF testing of the sputter-coated cavity demonstrated a T$_c$ of approximately 17.8 K, consistent with Nb$_3$Sn layer. Subsequently, the cavity underwent a light Sn recoating followed by a vapor diffusion Nb$_3$Sn coating process, achieving a quality factor of approximately 8.5 × 10$^9$ and an accelerating gradient of up to 11.3 MV/m at 4.2 K.
