Description

Medium temperature baking (300- 350 °C) enhances the quality factor of niobium superconducting radio frequency cavities. However, surface contamination introduced during vacuum furnace baking limits the quench field and may also degrade the quality factor of the cavity. To investigate this effect, a 1.3 GHz single-cell Nb cavity underwent mid-T baking, followed by a chemical treatment to remove the surface contaminants. Post-treatment measurements revealed a significant improvement in both the quality factor and the quench field.
