In the past 20 years Jlab has contributed and continues to contribute to the understanding and improvement of SRF technology in the following areas:
- High pressure ultrapure water rinsing
- Post-purification of niobium in the presence of titanium as a solid state getter material
- Q-disease Investigations
- In-situ baking procedures
- Single crystal niobium technology
- Nb material characterization
- Development of Buffered Electropolishing on Niobium
- Understanding RF losses in NB Cavities
- Deposition of alternative SRF materials to Nb and multilayer structures
- Plasma etching of bulk Nb, as an alternative to wet chemistry
- Characterization of field emission sources
- Energetic deposition of Nb films
- Cavity structure development
- Cryomodule subsystem development
