The Fermilab SRF group regularly performs Nitrogen (N2) doping heat treatments on superconducting cavities in order to improve their Radio Frequency (RF) performances. This paper describes the set up and operations of the Fermilab vacuum furnaces, with a major focus on the implementation and execution of the N2 doping recipe. The cavity preparation will be presented, N2 doping recipes will be analyzed and heat treatment data will be reported in the form of plot showing temperature, total pressure and partial pressures over time. Finally possible upgrades and improvements of the furnace and the N2 doping process are discussed.

The Vertical Test Area at Jefferson Lab, consisting of eight vertical dewars, recently received a major upgrade by replacing the original (1995) cryogenic control system. A new, state-of-the-art, distributed control system (DC S) based on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) was installed and commissioned. The new system increases facility throughput, reliability and cryogenic efficiency, while improving safety. The system employs a touchscreen graphical user interface and a highly redundant architecture on an Ethernet backbone.
