	Funding: *Work supported by DoE, Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515. RF Breakdown experiments on short accelerating structures at SLAC have shown that properties of rf breakdown probability are reproducible for structures of the same geometry. At a given rf power and pulse shape, the rf breakdown triggers continuously and independently at a constant average rate. Hypotheses describing the properties of the rf breakdown probabilities involve defects of metal crystal lattices that move under forces caused by rf electric and magnetic fields. The dynamics of the crystal defects depend on the temperature of the structure. To study the dependence we designed and built an experimental setup that includes a cryogenically cooled single-cell, standing-wave accelerating structure. This cavity will be high power tested at the SLAC Accelerator Structure Test Area (ASTA).
