An ampere class 20 MeV superconducting Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) is presently under commissioning at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for testing of concepts relevant for high-energy coherent electron cooling and electron-ion colliders. The injector subsystems tests and installation were finished in fall 2013. The injector includes: SRF photoelectron gun with 1 MW amplifier, 10W green drive-laser system, multi-alkaline cathode deposition system, cathode transport system, beam instrumentation and control. * The first photo current from ERL SRF gun has been observed in fall 2014 after second attempt. Completion of the ERL returning loop components installation is scheduled for April 2015 following full power ERL commissioning. After ERL commissioning in BLDG912 the ERL will be relocated to RHIC IP2 to be used as low energy RHIC electron cooler.

A prototype of the high average current polarized electron funneling gun as ERL-FFAG based eRHIC injector has built at BNL. In last year, we generated two beams from GaAs photocathodes by CW green laser and combined by a switched combiner field. We observed the combined beams on a YAG crystal ,measured the photocurrent and cathode lifetime by a Faraday cup. In this paper, we will describe the major components of the gun and beam line optics. We will also discuss the recent beam test results and high voltage conditioning results.

  The R & D Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) at Brookhaven National Laboratory requires accurate and precise current measurements for logging and for machine protection. In this paper we present the techniques used to derive the beam current from the beam charge measurement taken using an integrating current transformer (ICT). The strategy for ramping up the total beam current is discussed, - including the motivation for developing different operating modes with specific pulse structures, taking into account the constraints on the pulse structure imposed by the operating limits of the ICT during initial accelerator commissioning. The electronics packages used for integration and digitization are presented along with methods of synchronization. Finally, results of measurements during the first beam tests are presented.
