Historically, many advances in superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities destined for use in advanced particle accelerators have come empirically, through the iterative procedure of modifying processing and then performance testing. However, material structure is directly responsible for performance. Understanding, the link between processing, structure, and performance will streamline and accelerate the research process. In order to connect processing, structure, and performance, accurate and robust materials characterization methods are needed. Here in this paper, one such method, SIMS, is discussed with focus on analysis of SRF materials. In addition, several examples are presented, showing how SIMS is being used to further understanding of materials based SRF technologies.
