This research project at the Cockcroft Institute aims to complement the US research program by investigating surface topology and chemistry, focusing on the effects of preparation methods. Key objectives include determining reproducibility in performance, exploring alternatives to electropolishing, and utilizing a modularized approach to enhance superconducting radio frequency (SCRF) technologies. With impressive feedback from renowned institutions, the work seeks continuous support to improve cavity design through innovative fabrication techniques and thorough surface preparation methodologies.
