Recently, heat treatment between 250 C and 500 C has been attempted to improve quality factor of superconducting radio-frequency cavities at FNAL and KEK. Experiments of such medium temperature (mid-T) bake with furnaces have also been carried out at IHEP. Firstly, eleven 1.3 GHz 1-cell cavities were treated with different temperatures at a small furnace. The average quality factor has reached 3.6E10 when the gradient is 16 MV/m. Then, the recipe of mid-T furnace bake at 300 C for 3 hours has been applied to six 1.3 GHz 9-cell cavities at a new big furnace. The average quality factor has reached 3.8E10 when the gradient is 16 MV/m.

The performance of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities depends on the niobium surface condition. Recently, various heat-treatment methods have been investigated to achieve unprecedented high quality factor (Q) and high accelerating field (
E). We report the influence of a new baking process called furnace baking on the Q-E behavior of 1.3 GHz SRF cavities. Furnace baking is performed as the final step of the cavity surface treatment; the cavities are heated in a vacuum furnace for 3 h, followed by high-pressure rinsing and radio-frequency measurement. This method is simpler and potentially more reliable than previously reported heat-treatment methods, and it is therefore, easier to apply to the SRF cavities. We find that the quality factor is increased after furnace baking at temperatures ranging from 300C to 400C, while strong decreasing the quality factor at high accelerating field is observed after furnace baking at temperatures ranging from 600C to 800C. We find significant differences in the surface resistance for various processing temperatures.
In this study, we present new insights on the origin of the high-field Q-slope in superconducting radio-frequency cavities. Consequent hydrofluoric acid rinses are used to probe the radio-frequency performance as a function of the material removal of
two superconducting bulk niobium cavities prepared with low temperature nitrogen infusion. The study reveals that nitrogen infusion affects only the first few tens of nanometers below the native oxide layer. The typical high-field Q-slope behavior of electropolished cavities is indeed completely recovered after a dozen hydrofluoric acid rinses. The reappearance of the high-field Q-slope as a function of material removal was modeled by means of Londons local description of screening currents in the superconductor, returning good fitting of the experimental data and suggesting that interstitial impurities layers with diffusion length of the order to tens of nanometers can mitigate high-field Q-slope.
We propose an experimental setup to search for Axion-like particles (ALPs) using two superconducting radio-frequency cavities. In this light-shining-through-wall setup the axion is sourced by two modes with large fields and nonzero $vec Ecdot vec B$
in an emitter cavity. In a nearby identical cavity only one of these modes, the spectator, is populated while the other is a quiet signal mode. Axions can up-convert off the spectator mode into signal photons. We discuss the physics reach of this setup finding potential to explore new ALP parameter space. Enhanced sensitivity can be achieved if high-level modes can be used, thanks to improved phase matching between the excited modes and the generated axion field. We also discuss the potential leakage noise effects and their mitigation, which is aided by O(GHz) separation between the spectator and signal frequencies.
In this paper we present the discovery of a new surface treatment applied to superconducting radio frequency (SRF) niobium cavities, leading to unprecedented accelerating fields of 49 MV/m in TESLA-shaped cavities, in continuous wave (CW); the corres
ponding peak magnetic fields are the highest ever measured in CW, about 210 mT. For TESLA-shape cavities the maximum quench field ever achieved was ~45 MV/m - reached very rarely- with most typical values being below 40 MV/m. These values are reached for niobium surfaces treated with electropolishing followed by the so called mild bake, a 120C vacuum bake (for 48 hours for fine grain and 24 hours for large grain surfaces). We discover that the addition during the mild bake of a step at 75C for few hours, before the 120C, increases systematically the quench fields up to unprecedented values of 49 MV/m. The significance of the result lays not only in the relative improvement, but in the proof that niobium surfaces can sustain and exceed CW radio frequency magnetic fields much larger than Hc1, pointing to an extrinsic nature of the current field limitations, and therefore to the potential to reach accelerating fields well beyond the current state of the art.
We report a surface treatment that systematically improves the quality factor of niobium radio frequency cavities beyond the expected limit for niobium. A combination of annealing in a partial pressure of nitrogen or argon gas and subsequent electrop
olishing of the niobium cavity surface leads to unprecedented low values of the microwave surface resistance, and an improvement in the efficiency of the accelerating structures up to a factor of 3, reducing the cryogenic load of superconducting cavities for both pulsed and continuous duty cycles. The field dependence of the surface resistance is reversed compared to standardly treated niobium.
