  High power tests of a pair of the prototype input couplers were performed by using a newly developed 300 kW CW klystron. The input couplers were successfully processed up to 100 kW in a pulsed operation with a duty of 10% and 50 kW in a CW operation for 30 minutes. The conditioning was limited by excessive heating at bellows of an inner conductor at a coaxial line locating between a coaxial RF window and a doorknob-type transition. Improvement of a sufficient cooling at the inner conductor is necessary to achieve the required input RF power of 170 kW in a CW operation. Six input couplers to be installed in the injector cryomodule for the cERL project were completed, and they are under preparation for conditioning at a high power test stand.

  Vertical tests for ILC have been carried out since 2008 at KEK-STF. Measured cavities are from MHI#5 to MHI#22 (not yet for MHI#18-#22 at the end of November 2011), and MHI#12, #13 and #17 reached the ILC specification of 0.8x1010 at 35MV/m. The MHI cavity was added into the “qualified vendor” for the cavity yield. These three cavities (#12, #13 and #17) had no defect on every EBW seam of equator, iris and beampipe. On the other hand, the other cavities had a few or several defects on EBW seam. Especially, defect on the EBW seam of the equator is the worst case, and cavity performance is limited “certainly”. MHI#10, #15 and #16 cavities were limited by this kind of defect. As for iris region, MHI#14 had large defect at the iris between cell #8 and #9, and the performance was limited by the heavy field emission with “explosive event”. However, after the locally mechanical grind for this defect, the cavity performance was drastically improved with no field emission at 37MV/m. In this paper, the recent progress of the cavity performance at KEK-STF will be reported with the “detailed” defect analysis.

  The cERL injector cryomodule includes three 2-cell cavities, and each cavity has 2 input couplers and 5 HOM couplers. Three 2-cell cavities for cERL has already completed. Vertical test of the three cavities has been going on. The first cavity have achieved Eacc of 30 MV/m. Vertical tests will be carried out twice in each cavity, till the end of December, 2011. Six cw input couplers for cERL has already completed. RF processing at the high-power test stand with a cw 300kW-klystron will be carried out in Jan.-Feb., 2012. After the cavities were covered with a He jacket, assembly of the cERL injector cryomodule will be carried out in March-April, 2012. The first cool-down of the cryomodule is scheduled in June 2012.
