  A test facility, allowing the test of 4 samples simultaneously during each run, was developed for measuring at low temperature (T= 1.5 K - 10 K) the thermal conductivity k(T) of niobium and other materials used for the fabrication of SRF cavities. The measurements are performed using steady-state axial heat flow method with a careful control of heat leaks to the surrounding. Several samples of different materials (industrial Nb sheets, Ti¿) were either tested as received or/and subjected to various Heat Treatment (H.T) prior to the experiment then tested. The resulting experimental data are presented and compared to the experimental results previously reported by other groups. As expected, H.T @ 1200°C with Ti gettering improves the Nb RRR by a factor of 3 and consequently k(T). Finally, the correlation between the Niobium RRR and the thermal conductivity. at T=4.2 K is confirmed in good agreement with the Wiedemann-Franz law.

  In the framework of ESS, a vacuum furnace dedicated to High Temperature Heat Treatment under Vacuum (VH2T2) of SRF bulk Nb cavities was developed and commissioned in May 2016. This furnace is currently used for interstitial hydrogen removal (10h00 @ 650 °C) of two type of cavities: 1) the whole series of 26 ESS 352 MHz spoke resonators equipped with their Ti LHe tank well, 2) some prototypes of ESS high beta and medium beta cavities. Up to know IPN Orsay VH2T2 (10h00 @ 650 °C) was successfully applied to more than 16 cavities. In this paper we will first report about these VH2T2 tests. Finally, we have just started testing nitrogen infusion and nitrogen doping processes on samples and 1.3 GHz cavities: the preliminary results will be discussed.
