contents A screening of oxygen profiles in mid-T treated SRF cavities is crucial, in order to infer physical correlations between the microscopic cavity lattice and cavity performance - a problem concerning acceleration physicists for years. This thesis provides an analysis of oxygen diffusion profiles for three differently treated samples: Two mid-T baked and the third with the standard EuXFEL recipe. The measurement method utilizes EXAFS spectroscopy and was carried out at the DELTA facility in Dortmund. The result suffers heavily under noise, making the quantity of the result barely useable. Qualitatively, no deviations of current models regarding the profiles, could be proven, and no results of previous studies were contradicted. The experimental analysis is described in precision, interpretations of the possible are undertaken and theoretical considerations regarding error estimation and possible EXAFS simulations for future attempts are provided. A repetition at the PETRA III facility is indicated.
