1. Stain appeared after EP acid renewal Field emission at low gradient happened on MHI-06, MHI-07, in VT. Kyoto-camera found brown stain trace in beam pipes, irises and equators. Now we are investigating STF EP process using old MHI-#0 cavity (with simple beam pipe). They seems to be Niobium-Oxide. However, the problem is not yet solved, not yet fixed. 07.17.2009 H.
