A 56 MHz Superconducting RF Cavity is being constructed for the RHIC collider. This cavity is a quarter wave resonator that will be operated at 4.4K. The cavity requires an extreme quiet environment to maintain its operating frequency. The cavity besides being engineered for a mechanically quiet system, also requires a quiet cryogenic system. Liquid helium is taken from RHIC's main helium 3.5 atm, 4.9K supply header to supply this sub-system and the boil-off is return to a separate local compressor system nearby. To acoustically separate the cryogenics' delivery and return lines, a condenser/boiler heat exchanger is used to re-liquefy the helium vapor generated by the cavity. A system description and operating parameters is given about the cryogen delivery sub-system.

A small cryogenic system and warm helium vacuum pumping system provides cooling to the Energy Recovery Linac's (ERL) cryomodules, a 5-cell cavity and an SRF gun, and a large Vertical Test Dewar. The system consist of a model 1660S PSI (KPS) plant, a 4000 liter storage dewar, subcooler, wet expander, 50 g/s main helium compressor and 170 m3 storage tank. A system description and operating plan is given of the cryogenic plant and cryomodules

A vertical facility has been constructed to test SRF cavities and can be utilized for other use. The liquid helium volume for the large vertical dewar is approximate 84 inches tall by 40 inches diameter with a working clear inner diameter of 38 inch with the inner cold magnetic shield system installed. For radiation enclosure, the test dewar is situated inside a concrete block structure. The structure is above ground and is accessible from the top, and has a retractable concrete roof. A second radiation concrete facility, with ground level access via a labyrinth is also available for testing of smaller cavities in 2 smaller dewars.

The Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) 5-cell, 703 MHz superconducting RF accelerating cavity has been installed in the high-current energy recovery linac (ERL) experiment. This experiment will function as a proving ground for the development of high-current machines in general and is particularly targeted at beam development for an electron-ion collider (eRHIC). The cavity performed well in vertical tests, demonstrating gradients of 20 MV/m and a Q0 of 1010. Here we will present its performance in the horizontal tests, and discuss technical issues involved in its implementation in the ERL.

  An ampere-class 20 MeV superconducting energy recovery linac (ERL) is under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for testing of concepts relevant for high-energy coherent electron cooling and electron-ion colliders. One of the goals is to demonstrate an electron beam with high charge per bunch (~5 nC) and low normalized emittance (~5 mm-mrad) at an energy of 20 MeV. A flexible lattice for the ERL loop provides a test bed for investigating issues of transverse and longitudinal instabilities and diagnostics for CW beam. A superconducting 703 MHz RF photo-injector is considered as an electron source for such a facility. We will start with a straight pass (gun/cavity/beam stop) test for gun performance studies. Later, we will install and test a novel injection line concept for emittance preservation in a lower-energy merger. Here we present the status and our plans for construction and commissioning of this facility.
