SUPERIORITY OF ELECTROPOLISHING OVER CHEMICAL POLISHING ON HIGH GRADIENTS KENJI SAITO*, HITOSHI INOUE, EIJI KAKO, TAKEO FUJINO, SHUICHI NOGUCHI, MASAAKI ONO and TOSHIO SHISHIDO High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) , 1 -1, Oho, Tsukuba-shi, Ibaraki-ken, 305-0801 Japan (Received in final form 15 January 1998) Electropolishing (EP) offers a smoother surface, and that makes us expect high gradients in superconducting niobium cavities. EP has a little bit complicated procedure and needs annealing to avoid the hydrogen Q-disease. On the other hand, chemical polishing (CP) is easier and cheaper, so widely used in many laboratories. For the conventional field gradients (,z~ 5 MV/m) in storage rings (TRISTAN-MR, HERA), no difference was seen on the cavity performance between EP and CP. In the high gradients research for TESLA, we have to establish the surface treatment method which has a high reliability on the high gradients over than 25 MV/m and is cheaper in the preparation co
