 The STF-Baseline superconducting cavity system, which includes four TESLA-type 9-cell cavities, input couplers and frequency tuners, has been developed for the future ILC project. A main improvement in the cavity system is a very stiff design in a He vessel and a cavity tuning system, which can relax a cavity deformation due to Lorentz force. Making clear the performance level of four 9-cell cavities, which were fabricated by a Japanese company and were prepared by existent infrastructures at KEK, is the most important purpose in the whole vertical test. Total 14 vertical tests on four 9-cell cavities were carried out repeatedly. The obtained Eacc,max in the final performance was 29.4 MV/m in the #2 cavity, and the others are 20.8, 20.5 and 20.2 MV/m, where the Qo values higher than 1x1010 was achieved in all cavities. Peculiar phenomena, like increasing of Qo values with higher Eacc or very slow degradation of Qo values, were observed in the vertical tests. Summary of the vertical test results on four 9-cell cavities is described in this paper.

 Four STF-Baseline superconducting cavities were fabricated from 2005 to 2006. They were named BL1, 2, 3 and 4. The feature is that these cavities have the stiffer structure than TESLA cavity. From Feb/2006 to Feb/2007, the vertical tests were done totally 14 times at KEK. These cavities were re-processed and measured repeatedly. The surface treatment processes are composed of Centrifugal Barrel Polish (CBP), Electro-Polish (EP) and High Pressure Rinsing (HPR). And, HF or H2O2 rinsing were added as the additional process later. In the vertical tests, a monitoring system was introduced to search the heating spot on the equator and to check the radiation level around the cavity. It is composed of the carbon resistors and the PIN photo diodes. They were attached on the equator of each cell every 90 degree, a few resistors around the HOM couplers and a few diodes on the top and bottom flanges of the cavity. MX-100 (YOKOGAWA) for the carbon resistors and NR-1000 (KEYENCE) for the PIN photo diodes are used as the data logger. The sampling time is 100 or 200msec. The heating spot was successfully observed during the test. The appearance of that on the equator was coincident with the quench of the cavity. On the other hand, the diodes were useful for checking the presence or absence of the field emission and they also were useful for monitoring the radiation level during the RF processing. The mapping display was introduced to identify the location. Consequently, it is conceivable that the quality of the electron beam welding was somewhat poor, when the dumbbells were connected.
