          A new In-situ plasma processing technique is being developed at the SNS (Spallation Neutron Source) to improve the performance of the cavities in operation. The technique utilizes a reactive low-density room-temperature plasma to remove top-surface hydrocarbons. This increases the work function of the cavity surface and reduces the overall amount of electron activity; In particular it increases the field-emission onset, which enables to operate a cavity at higher accelerating gradient. Development of the basic plasma processing parameters and effect on the Niobium surface can be found elsewhere *,**. Details on the results for in-situ plasma processing of dressed cavities in the SNS HTA (horizontal test apparatus) will be reported here.
