  Self-Excited operation of a resonant system does not require any external frequency tracking as the frequency is determined by the phase lag of the self-excited loop, it is therefore particularly useful for testing high Q RF cavities that do not have an automatic tuning mechanism. Self-exited operation has long been shown to work with single-cell cavities. We have recently demonstrated that it is also possible for multi-cell cavities, where multiple resonant modes are present. The Cornell 1.3 GHz 5-cell superconducting cavities was operated using Self-Excited operation and we were able to lock to the accelerating (pi) mode, despite the presence of neighbouring modes that are less than 10 MHz away. By means of the loops phase advance, we were able to select which mode was excited.

Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs) are proposed as drivers for hard X-ray sources because of their ability to produce electron bunches with small, flexible cross sections and short lengths at high repetition rates. The advantages of ERL lightsources will be explained, and the status of plans for such facilities will be described. In particular, Cornell University plans to build an ERL light source, and the preparatory research for its construction will be discussed. This will include the prototype injector for high current CW ultra-low emittance beams, superconducting CW technology, the transport of low emittance beams, halo formation from intrabeam scattering, the mitigation of ion effects, the suppression of instabilities, and front to end simulations. Several of these topics could become important for other modern light source projects, such as SASE FELs, HGHG FELs, and XFELOs.
