  Cornell University is developing the superconducting RF technology required for the construction of a 100 mA hard X-ray light source driven by an Energy-Recovery Linac. Prototypes of all beam line components of the 5 GeV cw SRF main linac cryomodule have been fabricated and tested in detail. This work includes an optimized 7-cell SRF cavity, a broadband HOM beamline absorber, a cold frequency tuner, and a 5 kW CW RF input coupler. A one-cavity test cryomodule has been assembled for a first full cryomodule test of the main linac cavity, and is currently under testing. In this paper we give an overview of these extensive R&D activities at Cornell.

  The completion of an optimised SRF cryomodule for application on ERL accelerators has now culminated with the successful assembly of an integrated cryomodule, following an intensive 5 years of development evolution. The cryomodule, which incorporates 2 x 7-cell 1.3 GHz accelerating structures, 3 separate layers of magnetic shielding, fully adjustable & high power input couplers and fast piezo tuners, has been installed on the ALICE ERL facility at Daresbury Laboratory. It is intended that this will permit operational optimisation for maximised efficiency demonstration, through increased Qext adjustment whilst retaining both effective energy recovery and IR-FEL lasing. The collaborative design processes employed in completing this new cryomodule development are explained, along with the assembly and implementation procedures used to facilitate its successful installation on the ALICE ERL facility.

  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.
