We report a strong effect of the cooling dynamics through $T_mathrm{c}$ on the amount of trapped external magnetic flux in superconducting niobium cavities. The effect is similar for fine grain and single crystal niobium and all surface treatments including electropolishing with and without 120$^circ$C baking and nitrogen doping. Direct magnetic field measurements on the cavity walls show that the effect stems from changes in the flux trapping efficiency: slow cooling leads to almost complete flux trapping and higher residual resistance while fast cooling leads to the much more efficient flux expulsion and lower residual resistance.

A comment to the authors SRF Conference pre-print [1] was submitted by A. Gurevich to the arXiv [2]. In this response, we show that the arguments used in the comment are not valid. [1] arXiv:1309.3239 [2] arXiv:1309.5626
A systematic study is presented on the superconductivity (sc) parameters of the ultrapure niobium used for the fabrication of the nine-cell 1.3 GHz cavities for the linear collider project TESLA. Cylindrical Nb samples have been subjected to the same
surface treatments that are applied to the TESLA cavities: buffered chemical polishing (BCP), electrolytic polishing (EP), low-temperature bakeout (LTB). The magnetization curves and the complex magnetic susceptibility have been measured over a wide range of temperatures and dc magnetic fields, and also for di erent frequencies of the applied ac magnetic field. The bulk superconductivity parameters such as the critical temperature Tc = 9.26 K and the upper critical field Bc2(0) = 410 mT are found to be in good agreement with previous data. Evidence for surface superconductivity at fields above Bc2 is found in all samples. The critical surface field exceeds the Ginzburg-Landau field Bc3 = 1.695Bc2 by about 10% in BCP-treated samples and increases even further if EP or LTB are applied. From the field dependence of the susceptibility and a power-law analysis of the complex ac conductivity and resistivity the existence of two different phases of surface superconductivity can be established which resemble the Meissner and Abrikosov phases in the bulk: (1) coherent surface superconductivity, allowing sc shielding currents flowing around the entire cylindrical sample, for external fields B in the range between Bc2 and Bcohc3, and (2) incoherent surface superconductivity with disconnected sc domains between Bcohc3 and Bc3. The coherent critical surface field separating the two phases is found to be Bcoh c3 = 0.81Bc3 for all samples. The exponents in the power law analysis are different for BCP and EP samples, pointing to different surface topologies.
We report on an effort to improve the performance of superconducting radiofrequency cavities by the use of heat treatment in a temperature range sufficient to dissociate the natural surface oxide. We find that the residual resistance is significantly
decreased, and we find an unexpected reduction in the BCS resistance. Together these result in extremely high quality factor values at relatively large accelerating fields Eacc ~20 MV/m: Q0 of 3-4x10^11 at <1.5 K and Q0 ~5x10^10 at 2.0 K. In one cavity, measurements of surface resistance versus temperature showed an extremely small residual resistance of just 0.63+/-0.06 nOhms at 16 MV/m. SIMS measurements confirm that the oxide was significantly dissociated, but they also show the presence of nitrogen after heat treatment. We also present studies of surface oxidation via exposure to air and to water, as well as the effects of very light surface removal via HF rinse. The possibilities for applications and the planned future development are discussed.
In a recent comment [arXiv:1405.2978v1 (2014)] Romanenko and Grassellino made unsubstantiated statements about our work [Appl. Phys. Lett. 104, 092601 (2014)] and ascribed to us wrong points which we had not made. Here we show that the claims of Roma
nenko and Grassellino are based on misinterpretation of our Letter and inadequate data analysis in their earlier work [*]. [*] A. Romanenko and A. Grassellino, Appl. Phys. Lett. 102, 252603 (2013)
Superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) niobium cavities are the modern means of particle acceleration and an enabling technology for record coherence superconducting quantum systems and ultra-sensitive searches for new physics. Here we report a system
atic effect observed on a large set of bulk SRF cavities - an anomalous decrease of the resonant frequency at temperatures just below the superconducting transition temperature - which opens up a new means of understanding the physics behind nitrogen doping and other modern cavity surface treatments relevant for future quality factor and coherence improvements. The magnitude of the frequency change correlates systematically with the near-surface impurity distribution in studied cavities and with the observed $T_c$ variation. We also present the first demonstration of the coherence peak in the real part of the AC complex conductivity in Nb SRF cavities and show that its magnitude varies with impurity distribution.
