The Advanced Superconducting Test Acccelerator (ASTA) is being constructed at Fermilab. The existing New Muon Lab (NML) building is being converted for this facility. The accelerator will consist of an electron gun, injector, beam acceleration section consisting of 3 TTF-type or ILC-type cryomodules, multiple downstream beamlines for testing diagnostics and conducting various beam tests, and a high power beam dump. When completed, it is envisioned that this facility will initially be capable of generating a 750 MeV electron beam with ILC beam intensity. An expansion of this facility was recently completed that will provide the capability to upgrade the accelerator to a total beam energy of 1.5 GeV. Two new buildings were also constructed adjacent to the ASTA facility to house a new cryogenic plant and multiple superconducting RF (SRF) cryomodule test stands. In addition to testing accelerator components, this facility will be used to test RF power systems, instrumentation, and control systems for future SRF accelerators such as the ILC and Project-X. This paper describes the current status and overall plans for this facility.

  The injector of the European XFEL will use a third harmonic RF system at 3.9 GHz to flatten the RF curvature after the first accelerating module before the first bunch compression stage. This paper presents qualification tests of the prototype cavities and the status of the activities for the realization of the third harmonic section of the European XFEL towards its commissioning due in 2014.

Eight 1.3-GHz, nine-cell SRF cavities have been installed in a cryomodule intended to demonstrate the ILC design goal of 31.5 MV/m. These cavities all underwent two types of individual RF testing: a low-power continuous-wave test of the “bare” cavity and a high-power pulsed test of the “dressed” cavity. Presented here is a discussion of the results from these tests and a comparison of their performance in the two configurations.
