abstract = "The main purpose of this work was to measure the resonant
frequency and the Q-factor for the niobium superconducting
reentrant cavities to be used in parametric transducers of the
gravitational wave detector Mario Schenherg. Many cavities were
manufactured from niobium with high tantalum impurities (1420 ppm)
and they were cryogenically tested to determine their resonance
frequencies and unloaded electrical quality factors (Qo) related
to the electromagnetic coupling. These cavities were closed using
a niobium cover with tantalum impurities below 1000 ppm and the
unloaded electrical quality factor Qo = 2.65x105 was obtained.
Another cavity similar to the one used by the Australian detector
Niobe and made of niobium with low tantalum impurities was also
investigated. The unloaded quality factor measured for this cavity
was QIJ = 6.35xl03 The experimental tests were performed in the
laboratories of the National Institute for Space Research (lNPE)
and the Institute for Advanced Studies (iEAv - eTA).",
