abstract = {This comprehensive study, being part of the European XFEL
$R\&D$ effort, elucidates the influence of medium
temperature (mid-T) heat treatments between $250{\deg}C$ and
$350{\deg}C$ on the performance of 1.3 GHz superconducting
radiofrequency (SRF) niobium cavities. Utilizing a
refurbished niobium retort furnace equipped with an
inter-vacuum chamber and cryopumps at DESY, we have embarked
on an investigation to enhance the state-of-the-art SRF
cavity technology. Our research reveals that mid-T heat
treatments significantly boost the quality factor ($Q_0$) of
the cavities, achieving values between $2\cdot10^{10}$ to
$5\cdot10^{10}$ at field strengths around 16 MV/m, while the
maximum field strengths are limited to 25-35 MV/m and
enhanced sensitivity to trapped magnetic flux is observed.
Moreover, we delve into the effects of surface impurity
concentration changes, particularly the diffusion of oxygen
content, and its impact on performance enhancements. By
categorizing treatments based on calculated diffusion
lengths using the whole temperature profile, we recognize
patterns that suggest an optimal diffusion length conducive
to optimizing cavity performance. SIMS results from samples
confirm the calculated oxygen diffusion lengths in most
instances. Deviations are primarily attributed to grain
boundaries in fine-grain materials, necessitating repeated
measurements on single-crystal materials to further
investigate this phenomenon. Investigations into cooling
rates and the resulting spatial temperature gradients across
the cavities ranging from 0.04 to 0.2 K/mm reveal no
significant correlation with performance following a mid-T
heat treatment. However, the increased sensitivity to
trapped magnetic flux leads to new challenges in the quest
for next-generation accelerator technologies since the
requirement for magnetic hygiene gets stricter.},
