  Filling an RF cavity with a high pressure gas prevents breakdown when the cavity is placed in a multi-Tesla external magnetic field. A beam of particles traversing the cavity, be it muons or protons, ionizes the gas, creating an electron-ion plasma which absorbs energy from the cavity. In order to understand the nature of this plasma loading, a variety of gas species, gas pressures, dopants, and cavity electric fields were investigated. Plasma induced energy loss, electron-ion recombination rates, ion-ion recombination rates, and electron attachment times were measured. The results for hydrogen, deuterium, helium, and nitrogen, doped with dry air will be presented.

  A 201-MHz single cavity module is installed in the Mucool Test Area (MTA) of Fermilab to test the performance of the cavity at the design parameters for the International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) particularly in multi-Tesla external magnetic fields. To monitor various aspects of the cavity and to understand detailed physics involved in RF breakdown and multipacting, numerous instrumentation is installed on the cavity module and also in the experimental hall, which includes thermocouples, infrared sensors, electron pickups, fiber light guides, and radiation detectors. In this paper, we will present details of each diagnostic and initial test results.
