Which consequence results when an accelerator's RF cavities accumulate heavy isotopes like Radon-222?

💡 Explanation

Alpha decay causes the buildup of lead isotopes. This surface contamination increases losses via the mechanism of secondary electron emission because the emitted daughters cause higher energy losses; therefore resonant linewidth broadens, rather than other effects tied primarily to cavity geometry.
