abstract = {{The challenge of improving the performance of SRF cavities is being faced worldwide. One approach is to modify the superconducting surface properties through certain baking procedures. Recently a niobium retort furnace placed directly under an ISO4 clean room has been refurbished at DESY. Thanks to an inter-vacuum chamber and cryopumps, with high purity values in the mass spectrum it is working in the UHV range of 2·10⁻⁸ mbar. The medium temperature (mid-T) heat treatments around 300°C are promising and successfully deliver reproducible very high Q₀ values of 2-5·10¹0 at medium field strengths of 16 MV/m. Since the first DESY and ZRI mid-T campaign yielded promising results, further results of 1.3 GHz single-cell cavities are presented here after several modified treatments of the mid-T recipe. In addition, samples were added to each treatment, the RRR value change was examined, and surface analyses were subsequently performed. The main focus of the sample study is the precise role of the changes in the concentration of impurities on the surface. In particular, the change in oxygen content due to diffusion processes is suspected to be the cause of enhancing the performance.}},
