The resonant curve distortion is created by the resonance splitting due to the ellipticity caused by manufacture tolerance and RF ports. Therefore, the measured Q values are usually lower than the simulated or theoretical Q values. In some cases, even only one mode’s Q can be measured with the 3 dB method. There may be two reasons for this happening. One is that only one mode was excited and the neighbor splitmode was close to 90° polarized; the other reason is that the resonant curve of one mode was distorted by the other mode too much to measure the 3dB range. In this paper, we resolve this issue by looking into the RF measurement setup, including cavity, input coupler and pick-up coupler, from the equivalent circuit and wave point of view. Based on the BNL3 copper prototype cavity, we compared these results from measurement and simulation.

	Funding: This work is supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. The R&D ERL project at BNL aims to demonstrate a high charge, high current energy recovery linac. One of the key SRF system is the 704 MHz half-cell SRF gun. The SRF gun is designed to deliver up to 0.5 A beam at 2 MeV with 1 MW of CW RF power. The gun commissioning started in November 2012. The first photoemission beam from the SRF gun is expected in early 2013. This presentation will discuss the results of the SRF gun commissioning, and the performance of the high-power RF system.

WEPWO086	Split Higher Order Modes in Superconducting Cavities	2495

	Funding: This work was supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. DOE and award no. DE-SC0002496 to Stony Brook University with the US DOE. Split resonances are a common appearance in superconducting cavities and were studied here on the specific example of the TE11 dipole resonance in five-cell copper models of the ERL and BNL3. The BNL3 cavity was designed to be suitable for the envisioned electron-hadron collider eRHIC. Achieving the required high-current performance depends on avoiding beam break-up instabilities by minimizing the Higher Order Modes (HOM) Q-values. This was attempted in the design phase and will be done with appropriate mode dampers in operation. The availability of a copper model provided a convenient opportunity to confirm the design and to study potentially nefarious high-Q resonances. The appearance of split resonances impeded the HOM identification and the theoretical interpretation as elipticity deformation is presented in this report.
