	Funding: This work was supported by the BMBF under the research grants 05K19GUB and 05H2021. Heat treatment procedures have been identified as cru-cial for the performance of niobium SRF cavities, which are the key technology of modern accelerators. The so called "mid-T heat treatments", invert the dependence of losses on the applied accelerating field (anti-Q slope) and significantly reduce the absolute value of losses. The mechanism behind these improvements is still under investigation, and further research is needed to fully understand the principle processes involved. Anomalies in the frequency shift near the transition temperature (Tc), known as "dip" can provide insight into fundamental material properties and allow us to study the relation-ship of frequency response with surface treatments. Therefore, we have measured the frequency versus temperature of multiple mid-T heat treated cavities with different recipes and studied the correlation of SRF properties with frequency shift features. The maximum quality factor correlates with two such shift features, namely the dip magnitude per temperature width and the total frequency shift.

MOPMB022	Recent mid-T Single-Cell Treatments R&D at DESY	129
	C. Bate, D. Reschke, J. Schaffran, L. Steder, L. Trelle, H. Weise DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	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.

TUPTB037	Refurbishment and Reactivation of a Niobium Retort Furnace at DESY	485
	L. Trelle, C. Bate, H. Remde, D. Reschke, J. Schaffran, L. Steder, H. Weise DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	Funding: This work was supported by the Helmholtz Association within the topic Accelerator Research and Development (ARD) of the Matter and Technologies (MT) Program. For research in the field of heat treatments of supercon-ducting cavities, a niobium ultra-high vacuum furnace built in 1992 - originally used for the titanization of 1.3 GHz nine-cell cavities - and later shut down was recently refurbished and reactivated. A significant upgrade is the ability to run the furnace in partial pressure mode with nitrogen. The furnace is connected directly to the ISO4 area of the clean room for cavity handling. At room temperature vacuum values of around 3×10^-8 mbar are achieved. The revision included the replacement of the complete control system and a partial renewal of the pump technology. The internal mounting structures are optimized for single-cell operation including tandem operation (two single-cell cavities at once) and corresponding accessories such as witness-samples and caps for the cavities. The installation of additional thermocouples for a detailed monitoring of the temperature curves is also possible at the mounting structure. Due to the furnace design, its location and the strict routines in handling, very high purity levels are achieved in comparison to similar setups and hence provide a mighty tool for SRF cavity R&D at DESY.

	Funding: This work was supported by the BMBF under the research grants 05K19GUB and 05H2021. A new vacuum furnace has been designed and purchased by the University of Hamburg and is operating in an ISO5 cleanroom. This furnace can anneal single-cell TESLA cavities at temperatures up to 1000°C and with a pressure of less than 10-7mbar or in a nitrogen atmosphere of up to 10-2mbar. We will lay out the underlying design ideas, based on the gained experience from our previous annealing research, and present the commissioning of the furnace itself. Additionally, we will show for the first time the results of sample and cavity tests after annealing in the furnace. This will be accompanied by an overview of the intended R&D process and scientific questions to be addressed.
