Description
New materials beyond the standard bulk niobium have the potential to greatly improve the performance of Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities. Specifically, thin coatings of normal conductors such as gold have the potential to improve the key RF performance metric of quality factor. We present progress on depositing thin gold layers onto 2.6 GHz SRF cavities and testing their RF performance.
