Fermilab has built a cryomodule comprised of eight 1.3 GHz superconducting RF cavities for use in its Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) facility. This cryomodule (RFCA002) was intended to achieve the International Linear Collider (ILC) “S1” goal of demonstrating an average accelerating gradient of 31.5 MV/m, and is the first of its kind built in the United States. The module has been cooled down and operated without beam at ASTA in order to assess its performance. The results from these tests are presented here.

The Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) at Fermilab now being commissioned is comprised of a number of superconducting RF systems including single-cavity cryomodules and a TESLA/ILC style 8-cavity cryomodule. Two of them, 'Capture Cavity 2' and 'Cryomodule 2', have been cooled to 2 Kelvin and brought into operation. We provide an overview of the unique characteristics of each of the systems, commissioning experience, and latest results including their respective operating characteristics.

The Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) is under construction at Fermilab. This accelerator will consist of a photo-electron gun, injector, ILC-type cryomodules, and multiple downstream beam-lines. Its purpose is to be a user-based facility for Advanced Accelerator R&D. . Following the successful commissioning of the photoinjector gun, a Tesla style 8-cavity cryomodule and a high gradient capture cavity have been cooled down to 2 K and powered commissioning and performance characterization has begun. We will report on the commissioning status and near-term future plans for the facility.

  A comprehensive set of graphical user interfaces is being developed for the drive laser of the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) facility at Fermilab. These interfaces have been designed in Synoptic, a Java-based GUI development platform with credential-dependent access to the Fermilab accelerator controls network. Such implementation facilitates the user's ability to monitor and control many aspects of the drive laser system in an intuitive environment, as well as timely updates on the part of the developers made necessary by the evolving drive laser system. Furthermore, the current interface hierarchy readily allows integration into the larger pool of Synoptic applications being developed for other subsystems at ASTA.
