  Temperature mapping (T-mapping) system is able to locate hot-spot of SRF cavity, thus it is a very powerful tool for cavity’s Q-value research. Recently Cornell University is developing a T-mapping system for multi-cell SRF cavities. The system includes more than two thousands Allen-Bradley resistors. Electronic of the system uses multiplexing of sensors which is able to dramatically reduce wire numbers, and allow the whole system is feasible for multi-cell cavity application. A new cavity testing insert which is for T-mapping system has been constructed.

  Cornell has recently finished producing and testing the first prototype 7-cell main linac cavity for the Cornell Energy Recovery Linac (ERL). The cavity construction met all necessary fabrication constraints. After a bulk BCP, 650C outgassing, final BCP, and 120C bake the cavity was vertically tested. The cavity met quality factor and gradient specifications (2·1010 at 16.2 MV/m) in the vertical test. Progressing with the ERL linac development, the cavity was installed in a horizontal test cryomodule and the quality factor versus accelerating gradient was again measured. This baseline measurement is the first test in a sequence of tests of the main linac cavity in the test cryomodule. Subsequent tests will be with increased complexity of the beam line, e.g. with HOM beamline loads installed, to study potential sources of reducing the cavity’s quality factor.
