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.

  The electron-ion collider eRHIC, proposed at BNL, requires superconducting RF cavities, which are able to support high average current beams. Two types of ERL lattices were designed for eRHIC. The first one is a conventional lattice, and the other one is a non-scaling FFAG lattice, which was proposed recently. For the conventional lattice with up to eight ERL passes, a 704 MHz 5-cell BNL3 cavity was designed, fabricated and tested vertically at BNL. The FFAG-based eRHIC design requires a high-current low-frequency SRF energy recovery linac with up to 16 passes. A 422 MHz 5-cell cavity (BNL4) was designed for for this lattice. This paper addresses development of the SRF cavities for eRHIC, including the cavity design, fabrication and test results. Beam-break-up (BBU) analysis for these cavities is presented as well. An HOM damping scheme for achiving low higher-order-modes’ impedance is proposed. HOM couplers were designed for these high current SRF cavities. HOM coupler prototypes were fabricated and tested.
