  Cornell's SRF group, KEK, and Marui Galvanizing Co. Ltd (MGI) have collaborated since 2014 on Vertical Electro-Polishing (VEP) R&D as a part of a US/Japan Program for Cooperation in High Energy Physics. We have focused on an improvement of removal uniformity during the VEP process. MGI and KEK have developed their original VEP cathode named i-cathode Ninja®, which has four retractable wing-shape parts per cell. Cornell processed one single cell cavity with VEP using this cathode and performed a vertical test. KEK also provided one 9-cell cavity to Cornell. Cornell then performed surface treatments including Cornell VEP and RF test on this 9-cell cavity. The progress by the VEP collaboration and RF test results are presented in this paper.

  Cornell's SRF group and Faraday Technology, Inc. have been collaborating on two phase-II SBIR projects. One of them is the development and commissioning of a 9-cell scale HF free Bipolar Electro-Polishing (BEP) system. Faraday Technology had completed the proof of principle on BEP with single cell scale prior to the work reported here, and has now developed a new 9-cell scale BEP system. Cornell has fabricated three single cell cavities and has assembled them together as a 9-cell scale test string. The 9-cell scale test string has received BEP at Faraday Technology and RF testing has been performed on the three single cell cavities one-by-one at Cornell. Here we give a status update on the new 9-cell scale BEP system commissioning and on results from RF tests of the BEP cavities.

  Low temperature treatments of superconducting cavities in a low pressure ambient atmosphere have been shown to introduce a 'Q-rise' up to moderate surface fields and an overall increase in quality factor. However, the effect of varying the doping time at a fixed temperature on cavity performance has not been systematically examined. We present results of such an investigation for cavities prepared at 120 and 160 C in a continuously flowing low pressure atmosphere for various amounts of time. We show that the introduction of impurities to the RF penetration layer can improve cavity performance and investigate the relationship between electron mean free path and the temperature-dependent component of the surface resistance.
