	Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE SC0000661, the State of Michigan and Michigan State University. Niobium surface defects and inclusions can be introduced during the manufacturing processes used in the production of SRF cavities. Bulk removal methods (sanding, polishing, etc…) are frequently utilized to remove or smooth away these defects on the surface of the niobium metal. It is hypothesized that these mechanical removal methods are capable of trapping performance-degrading particulates, which are then exposed during subsequent chemical processing, potentially contaminating the cavity prior to RF testing. This paper summarizes results of a series of surface roughness and etching experiments performed to determine the relationship between the extent of polishing and trapped particulate, and to determine a method for mitigating this particulate contamination through BCP etching. The relationship between these experiments and RF cavity performance will be explored as well.

	Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is based on a continuous-wave superconducting heavy ion linac to accelerate all the stable isotopes to above 200 MeV/u with a beam power of up to 400 kW. At an average beam power approximately two-to-three orders-of-magnitude higher than those of operating heavy-ion facilities, FRIB stands at the power frontier of the accelerator family - the first time for heavy-ion accelerators. To realize this innovative performance, superconducting RF cavities are used starting at the very low energy of 500 keV/u, and beams with multiple charge states are accelerated simultaneously. Many technological challenges specific for this linac have been tackled by the FRIB team and collaborators. Furthermore, the distinct differences from the other types of linacs at the power front must be clearly understood to make the FRIB successful. This report summarizes the technical progress made in the past years to meet these challenges.
