Comparison of buffered chemical polished and electropolished 3.9 GHz cavities

Five 3.9 GHz 9 cell cavities have been measured for the DESY FLASH module. These cavities were BCP processed and reached gradients of typically about 25 MV/m with Q drop starting at about 20 MV/m. Recently a few one cell cavities have been processed with EP and at least one has tested to a gradient of 30 MV/m with Q drop starting at about 25 MV/m. We will compare the results and give an update to the thermal analysis in relation to global thermal breakdown at 3.9 GHz.
