	Surface imperfections significantly limit the performance of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. The development of surface topography techniques aims to locate the surface flaws in an SRF cavity and profile their geometry details. This effort plays an important role of quality control in cavity productions as well as provides contour information of the defects for understanding quench mechanisms. The surface topography techniques at Cornell University include an optical inspection system and surface replica technique. In this paper, we present the details of the techniques and show features found in the SRF cavities at Cornell.

WEPMR023	Surface Analysis Studies of Nb3Sn Thin Films	2316

	A recent study to optimise the coating of thin-film Nb3Sn cavities has resulted in coating procedures that can fabricate 1.3 GHz cavities capable of reproducibly achieving fields of >16 MV/m with record high Qs >10¹⁰ at 4.2 K. However, the performance of these next generation SRF cavities is as yet well below the theoretical maximum performance expected of Nb3Sn, thus giving ample room for further advancements. Current measurements strongly suggest that the current limits are due to local defects and irregularities in the coated surface. In this paper we analyse, using methods including SEM/EDS, TEM, XRD and EBSD, the surface of both sample coupons and cavity cut-outs, with a view to identifying and understanding the origin of surface non-uniformities that would lead to increased surface resistance and cavity quench.

	A single-cell 1.3 GHz ILC-shape thin-film Nb3Sn-on-Nb cavity recently achieved accelerating gradients of >16 MV/m with a record Q0 of approx. 2·10¹⁰ at 4.2 K, exceeding the power efficiency seen in the current most efficient niobium cavities. A concurrent study of the coating process has resulted in a coating procedure that is capable of replicating this performance in other single-cell cavities. In this paper we demonstrate the RF performance and behaviour of these next generation SRF cavities, with an emphasis on both the impact from both external magnetic fields and the cavity cool down procedure on cavity performance.

	Cornell has developed a TE mode sample host microwave cavity in order to study large, flat samples of novel SRF materials. In recent calibration tests, the cavity was shown to reach peak magnetic fields on the sample plate of >100 mT and a quality factor Q₀ greater than 10¹⁰, making it a powerful system to study the performance of superconductors at high RF fields with nOhms sensitivity. In this report we present results of measurements of two samples of thin-film Nb deposited on Cu using HiPIMS at 500 C and at 800 C.

	High-power pulsed (HPP) measurements of SRF cavities offer several different avenues of experimentation from standard continuous wave (CW) measurements by probing higher fields and reducing thermal effects. In this paper we report upon recent measurements of N-doped Nb and Nb3Sn cavities, investigating the limitations of the superheating field, flux entry field, and other maximum fields. We also investigate the potential of these materials for operation in a pulsed accelerator, which would partially or fully mitigate the effects of defects (i.e. thermal quenches).
