Moderate temperature heat treatment of a niobium superconducting cavity without oven

We have demonstrated a possibility to perform a successful moderate-temperature (mid-T) heat treatment of a superconducting cavity directly in a cryostat. This method significantly reduces the number of operations required for Mid-T baking effect research. The data obtained indicate the possibility of baking the cavity directly in the cryomodule, allowing full use of the Mid-T baking effect in a real accelerator.
