abstract = {Niobium-3 Tin (Nb₃Sn) is the most promising alternative material for next-generation SRF cavities. The material can obtain high quality factors (> 10¹⁰) at 4.2 K and could theoretically support ~ 96 MV/m operation of a TESLA elliptical style cavity. Current Nb₃Sn cavities made at Cornell University achieve high quality factors but are limited to about 17 MV/m in CW operation due to the presence of a surface defect. Here we examine recent results on studying the quench mechanism and propose that surface roughness is a major limiter for accelerating gradients. Furthermore, we discuss recent work on reducing the surface roughness including chemical polishing, modification of material growth, and tin electroplating.},
