Plasma treatment of bulk niobium surface for superconducting rf cavities: Optimization of the experimental conditions on flat samples
Accelerator performance, in particular the average accelerating field and the cavity quality factor, depends on the physical and chemical characteristics of the superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavity surface. Plasma based surface modification provides an excellent opportunity to eliminate nons...
