Is the cavity material good enough to warrant reprocessing?
The specification of the material is the same as presently used. Actual received new material significantly exceeds those specs. Whether the number of defects is comparable to present quality is unknown since production processes have evolved over time. Many CEBAF cavities had quench limits due to material defects or Q-switches so it is prudent to be conservative when projecting gradient improvements. Field emission should be substantially improved with current processes however.
