  The surface resistance of an RF superconductor depends on the surface temperature, the residual resistance and various superconductor parameters. These parameters can be determined by measuring the quality factor of a SRF cavity in helium-baths of different temperatures. The surface resistance can be computed from Q0 for any cavity geometry, however it is less simple to determine the temperature of the surface when only the temperature of the helium bath is known. Traditionally, it was approximated that the surface temperature on the inner surface of the cavity is the same as the temperature of the bath. This is a good approximation at small RF-field losses on the surface, but to determine the field dependence of Rs, one cannot be restricted to small field losses. Here we show how computer simulations can be used to determine the inside temperature so that Rs(Tin) can then be used to extract superconductor parameters. The computer code combines the well-known programs HEAT and SRIMP. We find that the error of the incorrect fitting method is about 10% at high RF-fields.

The main Linac of the European XFEL will consist of 100 superconducting accelerator modules, operated at an average design gradient of 23.6 MV/m. The fabrication by industry (which includes chemical surface preparation) of the required 800 superconducting cavities is now in full swing, with approximately 400 cavities having been delivered to date. In this interim report, we present an analysis of the RF acceptance tests amassed so far.
