Cornell has recently finished producing and testing the first prototype 7-cell main linac cavity for the Cornell Energy Recovery Linac, and completed the prototype cavity qualification program. This paper presents quality factor results from the horizontal test cryomodule (HTC) measurements, from the HTC-1 through HTC-3 experiments, reaching Q's up to 6 x 1010 at 1.6 K. We investigate the effect of thermal cycling on cavity quality factor and show that high quality factors can be preserved from initial mounting to fully outfitting the cavity with side-mounted input coupler and beam line absorbers. We also discuss the production of six additional main-linac cavities as we progress toward constructing a full 6-cavity cryomodule.
