	Funding: Work is supported by U.S. Department of Energy SRF cavities are susceptible to detuning by mechanical deformations induced by the Lorentz force and microphonics. Providing the RF overhead required to maintain the accelerating gradient in detuned cavities can increase both the capital and operating costs of superconducting accelerators. Recent work at Fermilab has shown that active vibration control using a piezo actuator can reduce both Lorentz Force detuning and microphonics to the point where negligible RF overhead is required to maintain the accelerating gradient.

SRF cavities are susceptible to detuning by mechanical deformations induced by the Lorentz force and microphonics. Providing the RF overhead required to maintain the accelerating gradient in detuned cavities can increase both the capital and operating costs of superconducting accelerators.
