At the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerating System (ATLAS) at Argonne National Laboratory, a project is underway to research cleaning the cavities in-situ by plasma processing. Previous plasma processing research by SNS, MSU, FNAL, and IJCLab has been successful in improving field emissions post processing. It is advantageous to pursue research in this method, allowing for possible use on modern ATLAS cryomodules, A-tank and G-tank quarter-wave resonators. The results presented show initial plasma ignition testing and plasma simulations for the coupled E and B fields, both done on a 172 MHz HWR cavity previously designed as early R&D for FRIB. Future plans are also included, laying out next steps to test plasma processing on the same HWR cavity and eventually a QWR.}}, }
