Operating a high gradient radio frequency cavity embedded in a strong magnetic field is an essential requirement for muon beam cooling. However, a magnetic field influences the maximum RF gradient due to focusing of dark current in the RF cavity. This problem is suppressed by filling the RF cavity with dense hydrogen gas. As the next step, we plan to explore the beam loading effect in the high pressure cavity by using a 400 MeV kinetic energy proton beam in the MuCool Test Area at Fermilab. We discuss the experimental setup and instrumentation.
