abstract = {{Superconducting thin-films on a copper substrate are used in accelerator RF cavities as an alternative to bulk Nb due to the high thermal conductivity of copper and the lower production costs. Although thin-film coated RF cavities can match, or even exceed the performance of bulk Nb, there are some challenges around the deposition. The RF cavities are often produced as two half-cells with a weld across the centre where the RF surface current is highest, which could reduce cavity performance. To avoid this, a cavity can be produced in 2 longitudinally split halves, with the join parallel to the surface current. As the current doesn’t cross the join a simpler weld can be performed far from the fields, simplifying the manufacturing process, and potentially improving the cavities performance. This additionally allows for different deposition techniques and coating materials to be used, as well as easier post-deposition quality control. This paper discusses the development and testing of 6 GHz cavities that have been designed and coated at the Cockcroft Institute, using low temperature RF techniques to characterise cavities with different substrate preparations and coating techniques.}},
