AB - Nb3Sn films are a promising alternative material for su-perconducting RF cavities, with proven high quality factors at medium fields and predictions for increased superheating field as well. In this contribution, we de-scribe the latest results from the Fermilab Nb3Sn SRF program. Early experiments have been focused on single cell 1.3 GHz cavities. We briefly review efforts to bring the parameters used in the coating process into a range where they produce uniform surfaces without regions showing signs of excess tin or thin/uncoated areas. We then present the latest cavity results, after modifications to the coating recipe based on feedback from film appear-ance and RF performance. These results show high Q0 at medium fields and a maximum field of ~18 MV/m.
